The "GPP Slots Power Limit, W" setting in the BOS is currently set to 25. I have a Radeon 4890 which has a max draw of 190w, should I change this setting or am I completely off on what the setting is for? If I should change it, should I go to say 150? TIA
 
the card draws most of its power from the 6 pin PCI-E power connectors, not the motherboard.


it really helps if we know your system specs, fill them out here
 
so changing that setting would have no effect then? thanks
 
75w per 6-pin PEG connector, and 150w per 8-pin PEG connector set accordingly.

it wont effect performance at all, but might help with stability if you used PCI-E cards without external power connectors.
 
Thanks for the quick and helpful answers, much appreciated!
