Hi,
I am looking to upgrade to the 8800GTS in the near future; it will be part of a complete system upgrade. I have a question regarding the powering of the 8800GTS. The mfg. specifecations state that the 8800GTS needs 26A on +12v line. I am looking to buy the 500W Antec SmartPower PSU. The conflict is that there are two 12v lines, and they are 17A and 19A, respectively. I am just wondering, would these two lines combine into one to give me enough juice? Will i have to buy a beefier PSU? Thanks for any replies in advance.
Thanks again,
insurgence
