who had experience with this power supply quasar 700w
+12v w/ 26 amp
+5v w/ 48 amp
+3.3v w/ 40 amp
i know that this is a generic psu, but do you think its safe to install a 30watt vcard the sapphire R7-240 1gb gddr5
should it work stable
system spec:
biostar h61mgv3
intel pentium g2020
2gb ddr3 1333
seagate 80gb sata
Graphics Cards - R7240-2GD3-L - ASUS
This says 75W, but you PSU should be fine for it, you'll have up to 312 watts available.
would it be stable.
The R7-240 is a lower end card, so yes it should be stable. As I said the card needs 75W, you PSU has 312W @ 12V.
A good 700W PSU would have 52A @ 12V, why is yours only 26A?
Amp X Volt=Watts.
isnt the 700 watts divided to various volts like 12v, 5v, 3.3v composed of amps. my only doubt is that my psu is a generic one.
i think i should upgrade my psu later the corsair vs450 can reach my budget. is it a good one
Yes, the label on the PSU should tell what is available for each voltage, however the 12V will have the most.
I agree on getting a good Corsair and it should run your system well.
thank you very much for the advice
