What are the problems that will occur if i use a lower rate PSU than the minimum power rating PSU needed by my GPU ?
My PSU-160 W
GPU requirement-400 W

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

How long have you used that system?

@ ^^
I'm using this config from 25 dec 2010. It doesn't give much problems but sometimes while playing games (like GTA 4, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood) for 2-3 hrs continuously , then sometimes my PC hangs up. In GTA 4 a blue screen comes & my PC restarts automatically.

If you really care about your valuable system, get a 500W PSU IMMEDIATELY!!!

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

^ why a 500W PSU?
the card 5670 is low power.

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

What take chances? If the GPU requirement is 400W, having a 500W PSU makes sense. BTW, have you posted any benchmark scores (3DMarks) of your 580? Really eager to know how it is performing in tandem with a E7300.

What will happen if i continue using my 160W PSU ?

Run it and find out, 'cause we too don't know for sure
it can be Diwali or or Big Crunch or Smoke on the water
Jokes apart, a good 400w PSU makes sense to me
get yourself a FSP Saga II 400w@ 2k or 350w@1.5k which will be cutting a little close

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

Nothing close to that happened till now

Will my PC be out of danger if i buy a cheap PSU like Zebronics 450W(Model : PS48-ZEB 450WT MICRO POWER SUPPLY) @ Rs 650 ?

Spend some more for absolute peace of mind.

Nothing much.
The psu will be destroyed or mobo (and any component attached to it) will be damaged beyond repair.

I really doubt if that is a 160W PSU. are you sure about it? and yes, zeb 450W is much safer but if you have extra bucks, go for better PSUs from FSP, Corsair, CM etc.

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

Yes even I am curious about the exact make of this PSU. is it a fanlesss one ?

 

[omega44-xt]

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

The manufacturer's name is Enhance. I'l post pic afterwards. Actually the PSU is in my cabinet from 2004 October.
Ya it has a fan

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

Enhance is a n well known PSU maker. makes PSU & also takes order (OEM) but still a 160W PSU for such a rig. someone is taking a hell lot of punishment. either the PSU is overloading like hell or your GPU & mobo-proccy combo is feeding on half power.
