430W will it support the 5850

[UL]

hrm... Kinda lazy, MNF is on, and I don't want to get up and go buy a new PSU however my 5850 just arrived arrived...

The question is Can the 430W PSU support it and my i7 920 rig... Also running Corsair H50 water cooling kit and two 640 GB Blu's.

Running an Antec True Power Trio 430w TP3-430

Each 12v line says it's rated for 16A and no more than 32 A combined.

Thoughts?

Of-course xfx recommends a 500W and 75W per PCIe line

I don't know what the H50 is pulling in term of amps and watts, but the 5850 reviews puts the i7 test setup at 357watts, full load.

You might be ok.

For a single it might be ok. Only if PSU is high quality.

I personally wouldn't push it. Go for a decent 600W or even a 550W
