Power supply question

[TheCommander]

Do I need a a new power supply if I upgrade to Phenom 2? I am currently using a 450 W Corsair (CMPSU 450VX) :

The current specs are:

Phenom 9550
ATI Radeon 4850
4 gigs of RAM
2 hard drives
CD-RW
DVD drive
3 case fans

I'm looking to upgrade to a Phenom 2 X4 955.

No, they are both rated at 125W

According to the AMD site, the 9550 is 95 Watts. The Phenom 2 955 is 125 Watts.

Yep your right. I misread the article. I still think you will be fine...

Even with the CPU OC'd more than 30%, Corsair's PSU finder recommends the Corsair 450VX for your setup. So you're set

You'll be fine. Even with the oveclock you shoud be good.
