Whoa dude, be more patient, wait at least a day to bump your topic
Will a 500w PSU support a 450w Radeon
He's doing it a bit more than needed, but I agree with his panic. I'm panicking stuff over this computer I got in parts. The front panels are punched in, and I can't tell if that counts as damage or something that just needs to be pushed back out because there's a big metal grate in the way that SHOULD come out but seems to have no way of being done as such. It scares me that the only way to check might possibly cause me to damage it and void any possibly warranty or money back on it.
You have to remove those metal grates either with your pliers or your bare hands like I did. You just have to keep twisting it back and forth, pushing further each time.
But the manual shows them coming out the front of the computer, which is impossible with the panels punched inward. Even more so, the (one) panel(s) that isn't/aren't punched in don't seem to come out frontwise anyway. I don't understand this stuff at all. And the guys who said they'd help me do this haven't been on in two days, which is scaring me to no end. I need this all set up before the businesses go "No our problem, your money down the drain." and I'm loving trapped with a bunch of useless parts.
I'm not too sure about the 6770 power requirements, but your Pentium 4 2.8 GHz is going to bottleneck the hell out of it.
By now the answer is No.A PSU should at least provide an extra 100 watts than the total of all components combined.
Call the company support?
I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO. That shouldn't be a requirement in every project undertaken. ARGH I... Can we take this to my topic?
I might OC the Pentium D/4 to 3.2 ghz if I can.
