Hi I need help finding out if my PSU unit is suffient for my computer.
I have a 300W PSU.
Here are my PC specs:
I have an MSI motherboard, if you need more info, here is the link http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7632398&CatId=7248
AMD CPU Phenom II x4
8 Gig of Ram. (4 Sticks, 2 gig each)
NVIDIA GeForce 210 Graphics card http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=852267&CatId=3585
A PCI wireless internet card
USB mouse, keyboard, and webcam
SATA 1 TB HDD
SATA DVD Drive
If you need more specs, I can provide them.
My PC has not cut out or shut down once, but I have only had it 2 weeks. I do not feel excessive heat at all when I put my hand over the power supply.
What I need to know if my 300W PSU is enough. I just built this computer and I dont want to risk damaging any parts. If I am using this 300W, am I in any way, shape, or form damaging my computer hardware? I would like to find out as soon as possible. Do I need a 400W PSU or more? Is my computer at risk?
Please reply for your thoughts.
