Hi all,
I'm a new in this forum, and I love this brand.
I plan to replace my 9800GTX+ (GV-N98XPZL-1GH) with the GTX560 Ti OC (GV-N560OC-1GI).
My questio id : Is my ODin Pro 550W can support this card or i must change the PSU ?
My config : P35-DS3r, E6550, 6Gb of RAM, 2 HDD SATA, ODin Pro 550W, Windows 7 Integral X64 + WinXP (2nd boot)
Thank you.
I would say if you have two pcie 6 pin connector on the PSU then you don't have to buy anything.
Your 550W PSU isnt giving the full 550W in any way , there is something called efficiency so if your PSU has a 80% efficiency it will give the Wattage considering this fact roughly around 500W.
A GTX 560Ti needs 170W to run under load, the OC version maybe a bit more, like 200 W max.
Even if your system is taking 200W (which i doubt) then your total consumption of your entire PC would be sitting around 400W +- 50W.
You still have a 50W headroom to go, so no need to buy new psu.
Try it with your current one, do a stress test , like occt or furmark and see if everything is okay.
I have a GTX480 SOC + and overclocked CPU Quad and I am running on a 650W PSU.
Perfectly stable except the fact that the GTX480 is running seriously hot!
