Can i run 960 GTX with that PSU?

Solution
Don't push the envelope with such a low-quality PSU, it could surprise you. True, its only 15 Watts, but what if you have walked say 340 feet from the parking lot to the Grand Canyon viewing rail. You want to get closer, with the logic that "Hey, I've already gone 340, what could 15 more do?" And then, your PSU dies, and it might take something with it. No offense meant, but messing around with the limits of something that temperamental. I checked it's manufacturers stat sheet and it does't have nearly the amount of safety blocks, it should, looks like short-circuit, over-voltage, over-wattage, and under-voltage is it. You'd be much better off with a higher quality power supply to begin with.


The GTX 960 at stock clocks only needs 120W at max load, yes. But that doesn't include the rest of the system. Besides, it isn't the total watts that matter. It is the amperage available on the +12V rails (and thier total watts) that matters. In your case that is only a 10 amp and 13 amp +12 V rail rated for a tiny 275W max.

List the rest of your system specs.
 
CPU:Intel 2 Quad Q6600 clocked at 3.0GHz
Video Card:Nvidia 8800GT slightly clocked
RAM:6GB DDR2 1066MHz
Storage:320 GB SATA 7200 RPM
Motherboard:ASUS P5Q

I think that 8800 GT takes the same amperage as 960 GTX i checked online but i need answers. 🙁
 


Not quite. The 8800GT is a 105W card maxed out, the GTX 960 a 120W card. http://www.hwcompare.com/18591/geforce-8800-gt-512mb-vs-geforce-gtx-960/
I wouldn't have even run the 8800 GT on that PSU either. Not with a 105W CPU like the Q6600.
But you sound insistent on using that PSU with the GTX 960. So, I wish you good luck.
 
Mate i sould like that because i use tis card 1 year and half and still got no problems with anything on my platform.The difference between the two cards is just 15W,so thats why i want many answers...
