Questionable PSU

[Cetra]

Would the following hardware work on an EarthWatts 380?

Intel Core 2 Quad 8400
HIS Radeon HD 4670
ASUS P5Q SE/R

As well as a DVD drive and two hard drives. I don't care about overclocking so that shouldn't factor in.

check this out. it should run fine. with the other stuff thatll be plugged in, it will be higher than that. cd drives and hdds both run around 15W, so not a whole ton there. you have 324W available on the 12V rails. i would say go for it. you shouldnt have a fiery burn out. however, if it feels pretty hot to the touch, and/or is pretty loud, then go for something bigger. you can find a nice 500W for like $40 in the hot deals now from time to time. with $350 in components on the line, it would be a decent investment.

Do you already have the EA380 on hand?

 

[Cetra]

Yes I do Danny Bui and I'm glad you guys said it would work. I will be putting those parts together this weekend, and I'm very excited. This is the second one I have put together and I love the experience of getting my hands dirty with the technology.

That EA380 you have is nice for single card rigs.
