I want to make sure this will be enought to power this system.

Corsair 620HX
AMD 9350e CPU
3 x HIS 4850 ICEq
4GB (2 x 2GB) Ram
3 x WD 640Gb AAKS Drives
2 x DVD PATA Burners

I have almost the exact system running on a Corsair 750VT
(Minus the DVD drives and only one hard drive)
It is pulling 341 watts from the wall at Full GPU & CPU load on that system...
I am going to also assume it is safe to add a 4th 4850 to this second system

So I assume the 620HX can power that system.
Also concerned about the load on the 12v rail(s)

And before you ask, these GPU are running Folding@Home
Thanks

LOL!

Anyway, considering that Kill-A-Watts are a bit inaccurate with PSUs that have AFPC (like all Corsair PSUs), that 341W rating might be lower than what the system is actually drawing. But you should be good to go for that 4th HD4850 IMO.

Then again, the Corsair PSU finder recommends at least a 750TX for your system.
 
Eh I'm running my sig on a 600Watt... probably pulling 400... not really concerned...

That's about what I came up with, keeping in mind this is full load 24/7.

Then again someone brought an old post back from the dead to list this:

Lotta psu for your $99.00 bucks;)



Jon, I'll PM you an address so you can mail the check
 
NO NO NO NO. While BFG Tech makes very nice Nvidia cards, their PSUs are utter crap.

You've been mis-informed. While some older BFG PSUs are not that great, the newest BFG PSUs are of great quality, especially the linked BFG PSU:

Other good BFG PSUs:
