will this work with a 300 watt psu? i have 1 hard drive, 55w tdp intel core i3 3240, 2 fans and an optical drive

You better upgrade your power supply at least to 400 watt. Check the power requirements of this card.

This card pulls at max 75W from your PSU. That being said, PSUs cannot be measured by their rated watt output. A lot of units may be rated for 700W and 80+GOLD, but they can damage your parts and literally ignite a fire if they hit 300W. Only use quality PSUs when building a computer.

It should work, if anything, at least make sure your PSU is reliable. I had this card running with a 65W CPU on a 300W PSU

I placed the information you gave me in a power supply calculator. I didn't have all the info on your pc so I guessed at some things, such as 2 dvd drive instead of 1, and 2 hard drives instead of 1. The answer I got was a recommended 345 watt power supply. In that case, this power supply here will work great! But I encourage you to do your own power calculations because you have more info about your pc than I do. This is the online calculator I used--&gt; http://www.thermaltake.outervision.com/ the CPU Socket for your pc is--&gt; Socket LGA 1155. Hope I have been able to help you.

Hi dude, the box says: "500Watts or greater power supply". If you have a certified (real) 500W PSU, you'll be ok.

I would say yes but NO. I would go with a 400 psu just to be safe. But this will definitely runs on a 350 psu

You shouldn't, but it depends on what else is on your machine. I have 3 hard drives and added this card, which only uses 110 watts, and it's working fine with a 500w PS. That's one reason I selected this card because of it's low power consumption.

I would not recommend a 300 watt PS with this board. It's a low end board, would advise 550w or more.

I am running it on a duel monitor set up, with 3 hard drives and 3 case fans on a 600 watt power supply, so I would assume, since I only have 100 watts more than you, that it would be fine. However, I'd advise you to double check with power consumption tools, I recommend cooler master's power consumption tool ( http://www.coolermaster.outervision.com/) to save you the hassle, that is the link for it. But I assume it should be fine.

Hey man, the best advice I can give is go to pcpicker dot com and "build" your computer within the website. It should tell ya if 300W is enough. :) That is what I did when building my computer!

the card alone at TDP will use close to 250 watts... so unless you have an atom processor and no HDDs... more watts the better ;). Plus most psus are less then efficient, My guess is that 350 watts is more like 300

This psu won't blow anything. Power output is closer to 300w actual. Only about 20 amps on 12v rail

Hi,the right questions is, can a 300w power supply handle this motherboard?,the answer is yes,but you need to take into account,that your are going to be very limited if you want to install high consumption devices like graphic cards or 8 cores processors,i suggest to use a more powerfull PSU,at least 500 Watts for better performance.

400 watt or greater is the recommendation for this model. You should calculate how your psu is destrobuting it's power to make sure you can delegate enough to the card
1631187
Yes it will. It may say 350W supply but you can get away with 300W with little to no performance drop off.

It will power your system without an issue. With those specs I would suspect even a 500 watt PSU would work but if you plan on upgrading in the future or putting that video card in Crossfire you would want the 700 watt. Here is a link to a a PSU calculator that should help you in the future, http://www.coolermaster.outervision.com

Good morning. Yes the power supply you have mentioned will work just fine. Anything over 650w will work. You might want to consider a higher wattage if you are using more than two hard drives in the case.
455445
Yes it will work, any issue you might have would be from the power supply not being strong enough, I would say a bare minimum of a 650 watt psu.

This card has a TDP of 115W, thus a PSU of at least 450-500W* would be recommended, leaving some wattage for other components and upgrades. *Standard PSU warning: Watch out for outdated and/or mislabeled PSUs (such as this one: http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=324 ) - some PSUs do not deliver their rated voltage, or are rated on their 'peak' output wattage (the wattage they can provide for ~10-50 milliseconds before catastrophically failing)
