So a friend of mine has my Cooler Master Extreme 500W PSU. I couldn't take the noise so I got a silent one and gave it to him. Right now he's running a quad core computer with an 8400GS and he's thinking about upgrading to a 9600GT. Would the Cooler Master run the 9600GT fine? I had my overclocked 8800GT on it for a couple of months and it appeared to do fine, and I know that 9600GT's take less than 8800GT's even at stock clocks. Do you think it would hold up if he didn't overclock?

Here's the specs on the PSU

Thanks for any input!

Yes,i run my 8800GT on a 460W Gigabyte with 26Amps i think and it runs great.

so you shouldnt realy have any problems with a 9600GT.
 
Oh alright, people were just saying that in this PSU one of the rails is dedicated to the CPU, leaving only 16A for the rest of the system on the 12V rail. I mean, I ran my 8800GT with this thing with no apparent problems, so I was just wondering how serious of an issue this was.
