will this operate my Dell Optiplex 745 "MT"? Upgraded my video card to a Nivida GeForce 9400GT and requires 400W Min. need to know if this will resolv

yes it will work just fine if it works the one I got was DOA and they would not exchange it just refund it. I ended up getting a Coolermaster from Best Buy since i did not want to wait for it to be shipped again. I got a 750 watt PSU and hooked it up to a GTX 260 and works great so this should be more than enough to run your card.

This power supply should be overkill for your system. Go ahead and grab it. I'm CompTIA A+ Certified, this PSU meets all of your hardware's requirements, easily.

Dell in the past has used a proprietary power supply that is incompatible with industry-standard ATX, but dropped this practice some years ago -- several sources says 2001, another says 2007ish. The "tech specs" document for the 745 is © 2005, so it's probably OK, but you can easily check yours to be sure. Wikipedia has an excellent article about this (under "ATX") with one section ("Issues with Dell power supplies") describing how to determine if your Dell computer is or is not compatible.

Well, this power supply should work just fine for you. The 9400 gt requires at least 18 amps on a rail and the modxstream pro 600w has 25 amp per rail. My computer is currently running MSI 660 oc, which has roughly the same power requirements at load while gaming. in addition the Dell optiplex 745 mt supports standard atx power supplys, which this power supply's form factor is. so in short it's a safe buy for you.

On Tower you build yourself that is very true. And is the one of the two main reasons I build my own, second is I save money. I had 2 HP and 1 Dell. When I change out any type of hardware, except PSU, the system went to hell. You cannot simple just reformat your version of Windows and it will solve the problem. You have to buy hardware from HP or Dell or who ever you bought it from. For me, I will never buy a name brand tower PC again, because of that issue.

The question is not if your Dell OptiPlex 745 will work with this PSU, but will a Dell computer will except a new GPU. PC that are made by Dell, HP, Acer, and so on become very particular when you change out major parts like GPUs.

Depends on the rest of your hardware. This card uses 150w, you will have to calculate the rest on your own.Minimum recommended is 500w.

170W is what Nvidia's site says for this card. I am not sure how MSI's modifications have affected this.

Of course it will run your gear, with 750w of power will be enough for SLI or CrossFire. Just make sure that the power supply has the 6 pin connectors that your video cards will demand. But when it comes to power, 750w is fair enough.

This card needs a minimum 300 watt PSU according to Nividia web site. sorry Make sure you keep the dust blown out of your computer, it will add years to its life. Ed

According to NVidia, this card pulls 49 watts. It does not have any 6 or 8 pin power connectors. As long as you have at least a 300 watt power supply, it will be fine.

The Optiplex 755 comes with one PCI Express 16x slot. So it should work fine.Specs I found are here: http://www.pcworld.com/product/30456/dell-optiplex-755.html

Don't know exactly. Information should be available from video card maker. I am using with a 380W power supply with no issues, but also no gaming. HTPC application.

The short answer is yes. A 860w psu will work fine. I am using a 750w in mine now and it previously powered two GeForce 465s in sli (those things sucked down power).

I have 700 watt in mine and it works just fine as long as you don't want to over clock I am running a amd phenom 2 965 black edition running at std clock of 3.4 GHz when I tried to over clock is only time I had power issues with that card..

The required power supply for this type of card is minimum 800w (espesially if you plan to overclock) with 2power cables dedicated for this video card, so make sure the number of power outlets from the supply is enough for all you other components (ie DVD drive, hard drive, ect) good luck

Just looked up the Dell Optiplex 790, which has a number of configurations. Spec sheet is downloadable here: http://www.dell.com/learn/us/en/04/shared-content~data-sheets~en/documents~optiplex-790-customer-brochure.pdf As usual with prebuilt systems, every configuration that I ran through Newegg's power supply calculator was using every watt that its meager power supply put out. Don't add so much as a hard drive without replacing that PSU. The heftiest one your system can come with is 265W, many come with a 240W PSU (depending on if they put one of the 95W CPUs or the 65W in). Anything bronze rated or up at 300W+ should do the trick. The Radeon 6450 only adds about 10W of consumption... but that would push an Optiplex 790 into brownout territory. FYI: voltages in a PC setup are standardized, immaterial to power consumption. The voltages it uses are the voltages supplied by a PCIe slot. This card has no extra power supply input. More info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express#Power Also, for that ~$40 and 10W you don't get much. I bought one for my parents' home theater PC to stop a microstutter when playing 1080P 60FPS flash video, and I chose this card for its compatibility with their old Llano APU in a dual graphics setup... if you're buying it to play games, you might want to look a little further up the pricing ladder... unless you're just playing games from ~2009 or retro-styled indie stuff. This would be better than an onboard intel GPU, at least in terms of compatibility, but that's about all that can be said for it.

I was running an Antec 850W and it was fine. But, when I bought another card to run in Sli, I had to bump it up to over 1000W. I think it will all depend on what else you are running.

The instructions say that a 450W power supply is the minimum required. My power supply has 650W, so it's never been an issue.As for compatibility with the Dell motherboard, I would be quite surprised if that was an issue. It fits into a PCI slot, which seems pretty standard these days. It also requires supplementary power from a PCI-E connector, but an adaptor is included that allows you to get that power from standard MOLEX power connectors -- the kind used to power hard drives before SATA came along. By the way, I've been quite happy with this card!

I have the tower version of the Dell Optiplex 755. The PC did not have HDMI connection. The Video Card I upgraded it with has a HDMI connection (Radeon HD 4550).

Too late for you know obviously being a month later after question but in case anyone reads this deciding as well. Irregardless of the wattage, you need 30 amps or more. If you get a psu with a solid single rail all you need is 30 because all these video cards give an estimate assuming the amps are spread out on 2 or more separate 12v rails. The guy with the SFX 450W is actually more than enough because it contains a single rail with 36 amps. Don't listen to the people who say you need 650 amps, that's ridiculous unless you plan on doing sli.
