GV-N75TOC-2GL (750ti small form factor) on 240w will it work?

[greenmarshal]

I've ordered a GV-N75TOC-2GL which is a gtx 750 ti but it says it requires a minimum 400w power supply but I have a 240w. I want to turn my prebuilt hp compaq 6200 small form factor into a decent gaming computer.

The rest of my comp specs: intel core i7 2600 @3.4ghz, 4gb ddr3 x2, ssd, ati radeon hd 4550 1gb (place holder) ssd, sata 7200 rpm.

Yes, it will probably work. But I can't say for how long. The PSU may give out, hopefully not taking anything else out when it does. Look on the PSU's nameplate for the +12V ratings.
I have this Dell optiplex 790 SFF... http://images.tecchannel.de/images/tecchannel/bdb/2155453/890.jpg ... also with a 240W PSU. I have this Gigabyte GTX 750 Ti running it it with no issues so far: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125680
I have maxed out both the CPU and GPU running stress tests at the same time and estimated that the +12V rail was drawing less than 14A. It is rated for 17A.

If I had to recommend a card for your system, it would be the GT 730 DDR5 64 bit. The GTX 750 Ti you run at your own risk.

My psu has +12.1V main +12.1Vsb +12.1Vcpu and -12V (blank) Also how are you liking your video card?

Telling me what the 12V rails are called doesn't help any. I was asking for the +12V rails' amp ratings.

I like the gfx card considering it is all that I can use in the little PC. And I'm probably pushing the PSU as it is. Btw, the processor it is working with is a i5-2400.

my bad did not read clearly. anyways here are the ratings. +12.1V main 14A +12.1Vsb 1.3A +12.1Vcpu 12A and -12V 0.15A

The amp specs are good enough. I forgot to ask for something else. Does the nameplate say anywhere what the total wattage is for just the +12V rails?

no it doesn't unfortunately

Your PSU appears to have the same or slightly better +12V specs than my little 240W in the Optiplex. Personally, I would have no problem running a GTX 750 Ti in it. But for the sake of this forum, I'm only going to recommend the GT 730 I mentioned above.
