Greetings all. I have a question regarding 9800 GT's (specifically the MSI 9800GT). I was going to email them with the question, but you have to jump through hoops in order just to do that.
Anyways, I just got a nice 9800GT with 512mb of memory on it. Unfortunately the manual says that I need a minimum of a 400 watt power supply with a minimum of 26A on the 12V line. The power supply I have is a 500 watt Enermax with 22A PER 12V line (there are two 12V lines on it). The two lines combined has around 32A or 34A. Is this 26A minimum for the combined 12V lines? or does the power supply actually have to have at least 26A per 12V line. The darn instructions are never clear anymore.
I am starting to think that it in fact does to have 26A per line as graphically my machine is starting to get a bit flakey. I have tried backing off drivers and even my xorg-server but still no luck.
Thanks a lot, I figure someone in here would know the answer instead of having to give out a ton of personal information just to ask MSI.
