power supply help

[fyfeqt]

hi there on my power supply it says max wattage 123w max wattage output 123w
but under that it say's (total output continuous shall not exceed 500w) does it mean that it is a 500w power supply or is it a 123w power supply ?

 

[fyfeqt]

It is 123w power supply only. It means, the load shouldn't exceed 500w.

so i cant go over 123w ?

It's definitely a 500 Watt Peak PSU rated up to 40°C. It would be a 430 Watt continuous power supply. It has a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 32 Amps.

It's definitely a 500 Watt Peak PSU rated up to 40°C. It would be a real 450 Watt power supply. It has a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 32 Amps.

You can draw up to 411 Watts continuous total from the combined +3.3V, +5v and +12V rails.

The ASUS GTX 750 Ti OC 2 GB [GTX750TI-OC-2GD5] draws a maximum of 74 Watts when running Furmark Stability Testing. During gaming its peak power draw is 65 Watts.

That FSP power supply unit should have no problem powering your system with that graphics card.

It may have faulty capacitors or whatever though.
