Does this power supply have a rating for ambient operating temperature? It will be at temperatures exceeding 40 degrees centigrade.

These are really cheap power supplies. It took me 3 times ordering them before I actually got one that worked. I wouldn't trust the 40 degree rating even if it had one. If you want something that is properly engineered and all ratings are likely 50% of actual value, you'll need to look in the $100-200 dollar range for single quantities.

I have this running on a 9590 currently, and it does a decent job. I range between 27-47C. I had a different setup before with dual inline radiators, but I have not had the time to get this setup implemented again.

Using a higher wattage power supply than originally supplied will cause the power supply to run cooler and last longer assuming the output voltage is correct and the same as originally supplied.

I haven't had any problems with it at all. Currently, it keeps the cpu temperature down to @ 40 c.

Not a question, but I'll try to offer my take on these things. I have had four Thermaltake Power supplies, in 500 to 650 watts. Only one failed, but no fans. It was the little tickle current that allowed it to start. I sent it back with all its paperwork and a description of the problem. They promptly sent me a new one, in its own box. Thermaltake Power isn't cheap, but their quality and service are unmatched. I've used nothing else for about five years. Good luck.

yes, as long that is not too old and is a good brand, i tested with a 500w (new) cheap generic power supply and works well too.

I think it would be fine! I love this power supply. Been using it steady (almost 24/7) since I got it, and have had no trouble what so ever. very quiet as well.

Totally depends on two things: 1- Battery condition and other concurrent system uses 2- Ambient temperature then system is operating in. Consult your local battery dealer for some suggestions

Whenever using ANY power supply, there is always gonna be some warmth/heat coming from the unit regardless of whats connected to it. This is perfectly normal. Now if its HOT to the touch, that is not good. Replace immediately. Hope this helps. Be safe ....Chris.

That is a dc rating for the power supply, not the battery. The battery is 10.8v 4400mah.

I would suggest a more powerful supply than 450W, but these are the specs from the manufacturer.Thermal and Power Specs:97C Maximum GPU Temperature (in C)150W Maximum Graphics Card Power (W)450W Minimum System Power Requirement (W)5Two 6-pin Supplementary Power Connectors

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

I am using the antec 550 watt power supply which is working well for me with the am2 processor 2.6 ghz. I had another system with a 350 watt that seemed to run a little noisy. I don't know the minimum requirement but if have had enough power supply failures to know not to the minimum out. Sometimes the power supply manufacturer fudges the numbers. At least that was true in the past. Since this is for my company I opt on the safe side.

Should have no issues with a 750 watt. Can always do a power supply calculator which is easily found via Google search. Temps seem to be in this mid 70s for me but I also live in AZ with avg room temp of 78

No idea. However, similar electronic devices I specify are rated to zero degrees C. It's inexpensive, simple, and I wouldn't hesitate to use it at low temps.

I am using 400W power supply with this card and it works just fine. This card has pretty low power requirement especially since it has no cooling fans. This card is designed to be fully fanless by using bigger heat sinks. I mainly used it for the good performance, smaller profile and fanless design.Please let me know if you have further questions.
