Hey guys as the title suggest, i wanna kno if the Corsair CX430 V2 PSU is enough to handle a AMP Editon GTX 560 (150Mhz core OCd as compared to stock).. i was using it with a stock 560 for a month now.. but my GPU died.. and now ive been given an AMP edition as replacement.. now will my PSU be able to handle it?, or should i turn down clocks to stock settings?
 
It will be fine.
 
lets see... your CPU is 75W, your GPU is 200W, and mother board will be 75W at max, so yes, it should be fine. barely..
 
12v x 32A rail = 384w. Should be enough... more so than my 450w psu with only a 24A rail lol
 
Minimum power req. as stated by NV for a GTX560 stock clocked is 450W. However, despite being entry level, that Corsair is pretty good actually:

I'd say it will work. The card itself uses something like 165W under load:

corsair PSUs tend to provide copious amounts of amp on the 12V rail. i was :eek: when i saw my 12V can supply 48A without breaking a sweat.
 
Thankx guys.. so i can get the performance of a 560 ti now.. :)
