What's the exact needed power supply rating? One answer says it needs to be 350. Needs to be under 220 for its era and my computer.

Depends upon what is installed in your computer. CPU, hard drive, video card,RAM, motherboard including optical drive all need power. I would say 350 watts and above would be a safe bet.

You are going to need a slimline power supply for that computer. When looking up on here just use slimline and the wattage you would like. 300w should be more than adequate for that machine. Good Luck

Google something like 'best rated power supply 2014'. Check out a few reviews. Your power needs are also dependent on peripherals. Seasonic is well rated - I won't try to guess what your power need might be.

Your power supply should be no more than 220 watts according to this. I put this 350 watt on my Hp and it started having power issues so I would not suggest you put it on yours. Maybe see if Amazon has a smaller wattage power supply. 350 is to much.

I am using the antec 550 watt power supply which is working well for me with the am2 processor 2.6 ghz. I had another system with a 350 watt that seemed to run a little noisy. I don't know the minimum requirement but if have had enough power supply failures to know not to the minimum out. Sometimes the power supply manufacturer fudges the numbers. At least that was true in the past. Since this is for my company I opt on the safe side.

I do not know for absolute sure, but I would be stunned if it were 220. I run it off a 110 at home. I am not aware of any desktop computers that are 220. Good luck.

A 350 watt power supply works fine. I purchased one of these and fitted it to my machine with a 350 watt supply and have no problems at all

That particular computer uses a 300 watt power supply. However, this card requires a 400 watt PS. You can still get 400 watt PS's for under 50 bucks weather on Amazon or other sites. Make sure you get the right type. ATX, micro, etc.

Truth be told the manufacturer recommends a 400W power supply which seems like a very high wattage requirement? Since they cannot be sure of your system configuration they have to err towards caution to ensure that you have adequate power to drive the card! Here is one of the best calculators I have used to check power consumption resource needs . . .http://www.thermaltake.outervision.com/

I think you need to keep the same wattage by what the computer uses. I don't think that there would a problem going higher on the wattage, hopefully not too high. That's the best that I can tell you

Not sure - if it says it needs 350 watts then it probably does to run effectively or maybe even at all - I've used it with 400 watt and 550 watt power supplies and I know it works great with both of those... RH

I run a 700 watt supply. It is more than adequate. A 320 should be enough. I use an extra fan hence extra power. The card is awesome. Updates regularly highly recommend.

I remember swapping out a power supply for a friend that had the slimline architecture. 300 watts was enough and it did fit into the computer. Be sure you have the screws lined up.

60Watts is the minimum that you should use if that's what your computer says. Using a 90W power supply is actually preferable as it will last longer and run cooler.

You would need at least 400watt power supply, looks like yours has a 350watt

Why not? It's always recommended to purchase more power then your computer needs. That is what I have read anyway.

They recommend a 300w power supply, but I am running it in a HTPC with only a 250w with 2 HDD internals and a 3tb external
