I have an old pc and I wanna know how much it is. There is no model no. given all written is Model: ATX-600w-PIV.
here is whats in the column :
+3.3v ~ 25A
+5v ~ 28A
+12v ~ 26A
-5v ~ 0.5A
-12v ~ 0.5A
+5Vsb ~ 2.0A
 
Solution


It's 600w, but with just 26amps on the +12v rail it's more like a modern 350w


It's 600w, but with just 26amps on the +12v rail it's more like a modern 350w
 
Solution


Purely in terms of power output, [strike]no[/strike] YES. that PSU is limited to 22amps on the 12v rail, and the 12v rail is the important rail. The jesus rail, if you will :D

so the one i linked will be better in running 7750 radeon?
 


Sorry I meant the one in your original post is better. But both would handle a hd7750, it's not a demanding card at all
