What do you guys think about running an 8600GT on a 300W PSU? It's a stock PSU that came in my family's Gateway, and I was going to sell the 8600 to them so I could get the 8800GT. I read the label, it has 2 12V rails at 18A each, meaning it has somewhere around 36A (someone is going to give me a lecture on how u can't just add rails lol). If I'm reading the right section, I'm pretty sure it says the max wattage is 300W. Now the 8600GT requires a 400W PSU, but this has more than enough amperage on the 12V rail. Is it safe to put it in? It's also running an AMD Tri-Core at 2.1GHz.
