Stupid question. Is this contantly using 160watts or does my hardware only pull what it needs from this psu. I plan on using this for a home NAS.

Its only going to use what it needs. I got this for a HTPC and a 256 GB SSD, this is sized as just enough to run it. Have eSATA and USB drives attached sometimes but they are powered independently. This is a strange choice for NAS as this is a server with several HDDs usually requiring a much bigger PSU.

This PSU Can provide up to a maximum of 160 watts. It will only put out the wattage that is demanded from the device it is powering.

Perfectly safe. There's plenty of precautions taken to ensure that there aren't any surges or shorts that could damage your PC.It's also modular so no need to worry about extra cables hanging around not plugged in to anything, and the 1600w rating doesn't mean that is how much power it is always using, just that it is capable of delivering that much if you needed it.

It is rated at 65W running entirely off of the PCIe slot. I don't know actual consumption.

I think you might be pushing it with a 400W PSU. I guess it depends on the item quality. You may be just fine. Not really an answer, sorry.

I have minimal wattage from my power source. the rating is for max need. mine runs my media center without lag i don't know about games but i am very happy with my graphics. i think you have more than enough wattage. and you can't beat the price

The spec sheet says the minimum power requirement is 300 watts for the system and 65 for the card, so it would seem your system is right on the edge.

Personally, I like to have a little more than required so i would go with an 850W PSU, so to answer your question, yes this one will work fine. You could also use a 750W PSU as well though.

400 would be pushing it. I have a 600w and it does fine. I would say the minimum would be 500w but it really depends on your total power consumption system wide.

I run 1100w. I would not run less than 900w pending on your other hardware. The least memory 6-G recommend 8G. My CPU uses 95w alone. Look down the road. You will probley want to go bigger down the road not smaller. You won't be able unless you upgrade PWR Supply. That will cost you double. Yes it will come with a 6-pin adapter

I would get a big higher wattage on your place. There is a good tool from ASUS to calculate the approximate PSU power you will require for your system: http://support.asus.com/powersupply.aspx

Sounds like that's a 250 Watt power supply. It doesn't hurt to use a beefier power supply, so a 400W would fulfill your power needs very well. I don't know why companies put puny power supplies in things. As long as it has the connectors you need for your motherboard and hardware, it should do fine. The person who got this supply put in his computer says it's been working fine.

It sounds like you are trying to build a miner, or a HTPC. If it is a miner, it should be more than enough power. I've seen specs of mining builds with as little as 250W PSUs. However, if you are building a media server, you might want to push up the wattage to at least 550, just to be safe on the power output. On the outside, if this is a gaming machine, you might be on the low side of adequate. But, it would work. This PSU was out-of-the-box compatible with a 3rd Gen Ivy Bridge Intel processor which, at the time of my build, was what was available for my price range. So, it may work well with a Haswell or later, but I am unable to guarantee it. Hope that helps!

The wattage depends on what you are currently configured with. You can use Pcpartpicker.com to help determine it. I do recommend this PSU because of it being modular and also supports my two 650ti boosts in SLI. Power cords are long and thin so you can easily manage the cables to be nice and tidy.

Hello, this APU uses 100W of power, and you should use it with at least a 300W power supply. It's always a good idea to go with more power if you can afford it though. Personally, I am using a 480W PSU and it works great.

Assuming you're not running a bunch of other stuff in your computer along with it, yes, 650W is plenty. The card has a theoretical maximum draw of 225W (but only pulls about 170W max).

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

I was running it with a 430w PS, and in only 2 days, my PS literally fried. I was running nearly the same # of drives as you listed...
