x1650 crossfire power req's?

[dan_foster11]

Would a 400 watt power supply be able to run dual x1650 pro video cards? The power requirement for one is just 350 watt, so Im wondering if a 400 watt can run 2?

It would be cutting it close, how many amps are on the +12V rail(s)?

By the way, two 1650's are not that good, even in CF. You would be better off with something like the x1900xt or 7950gt.

Like omega said.. it could be enough.. I would say 20Amp on the 12v rail would be enough. (since my current pc ran on a 24Amp SPU already,.. granted, the thing got pretty hot, thats why i replaced it, but it worked )
