Hi Xthe
Alright now we are getting somewhere. What would be the watts that would be considered safe for the NEW graphics, and the quads, and motherboard, besides the hardware and the Hard drive. I need a ballpark minimum of which to begin because all this is new now, and also this LCD has to be hooked up to the computer as well so you can see the screen.
I have to find out what the total power all this will take and plus some extra to be on the safe side to cover all the bases. From there say you tell me 500 watts, OK then I will jump to 1,000 to cover everything power wise.
When did they start going into wattage here??? I remember back in 2000 all they needed was 110V 60 hertz, and this power unit breaks it down to 12 V system which powered the computer.
I am not concerned with the power over here because they have converters to take their 220 V down to 110v and it goes wattage. which has been running my computer here and the fridge since 2004. Never had a problem up to now. I have a 1000 watt power converter here now. This barely meets the needs for this old sytem. So I have been very lucky up to now.
I will have to pull out my papers here and add this all up again. Since you already did tell me those quads needs 2 volts to run just to be on safe side. I have to know how much the motherboard needs.
I will report back and let you know.
