• Upgrading from 95W to 125W CPU with 500W psu?
    2 replies, posted
I have a 500W OCZ Power Supply and I ran a Powercolor 5770 and a 95W Athlon x2 7450, which HWMonitor did report that it hit about 95W while running Prime95. It's also a mATX board, which I'm guessing might use a little less power. I'm looking at an ATX board and a 125W CPU if my power supply can take it, so do you guys think it would work?
if your PSU is either this [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341016&cm_re=ocz_500w-_-17-341-016-_-Product[/url] or this [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341038&cm_re=ocz_500w-_-17-341-038-_-Product[/url] you'll be fine
What's the board and CPU you looking at? Also budget?
