I currently have a PC Power&Cooling Silencer 470. It has a 26amp 12v rail. Will this be enough to run this card? If this 12v rail requirement question has been asked before , please forgive me. Thanks.
 
Majeztik12, I have a similiar set up as you. I also replaced my 7900GT KO with the HIS 3870 IceQ3 Turbo, OMG, what a difference. You will definatley enjoy it. Crysis in high settings looks great.
 
This is great to hear. Figure this setup will hold me over till the next greatest thing.
 
I run a 3870 for hours on end with a 350W PSU in a mATX case on the following setup

Intel Core 2 Duo 3.0Ghz on a 1725Mhz FSB
4GB A-Data DDR2 800Mhz ram
Foxconn G33-M mATX board
Sapphire Radeon 3870
WDC Caviar 500GB SE RE2 HDD
Lite-On Sata DVD writer
Lite-ON IDE DVD reader
SB Audigy 2
 
I'm currently running a Ultra X3 600W with my Visiontek 3870X2, you should be more than ok for a single 3870.
