gpu overclock low psu

[carlosg3523]

hello, i have a radeon hd 5450 and i was wondering if its safe to have it in my 250watt system. ive even overclocked and catalyst said it was fine. should i keep it overclocked? should i even have it at all?

I doubt that card can cause issues for any system(power wise) to be honest.

thanks! That's what i thought because i saw that the requirement was 400watts!!! that sounds like way too much for such a low end card

Realistically you'll want a 300 watt with 22 AMPs on the 12 volt rail
