The answer is 42..

That's how much power.. because it is the answer to life, the universe and everything!!

Of course.. if you told us the power supply you actually using.. do you think that might help us give a better answer?
Even if you English is terrible.. .if you had used just 1 iota of common sense.. do you think that info might have been just a little bit important?
You may want to ponder that.

Cheers

Also, we would need a system config. Because if it can still power the pc, then the rating of the config. Is probably how much power you have.

Also, you say 3 years in the title, and 5 in the thread.

No. It was a joke that went over your head.


What it means is you haven't actually told us anything of substance so there is no way we can answer your question.

i have an amd athlon 3500+ a nvida G100 (i will change the gpu because when gaming it goes 100C+ )
an LG cd-rom drive and 1 hdd maxtor im asking because i bought the pc about 2 years ago but i think its older
i wish that helped you to answer my question

probably only 300 or 280 watts left??? Just get a psu with ATLEAST 400 watts. Will make everything better in the long run.

It is way older than 5 years, the Athlon 3500+ launched in 2004 using socket 939, AM2 came into play in 2006 making your system around 8-10 years old. Get a good 400-500W PSU and then change the GPU for something like a 6450 and you will see a fairly large increase in potential.

And even then, the cpu will be a bottleneck. Time to get a new computer.
