Will this work with a 1200 Watt power supply on a gaming computer? Also, what gauge is the power cord on the Tripp Lite? Thank you.

This unit is only rated for 900 Watts so it you have your computer maxed out no it will not work; also even if your computer is only running at about 75% you will have no available power from the UPS for peripheral items. The power cord is 3 conductor 16 gauge with a standard 15 amp NEMA plug. I would suggest you use at least a 2000 VA UPS and really you probably need something even bigger if you want to have any amount of run time after a power failure.

It depends what you will use it for. My only purpose was a digital monitor with an old Dell Optiplex and I doubt I have your 300 Watts. Also to update what I could do with it regarding video but not gaming with a console. The other site I use for computer parts recommends 400 watts if that's the case.

I installed this on my grandson's computer with 350watt power supply. Only one hard drive and one dvd/cd drive. As long as you don't have a lot of power consuming additions you should be ok!

Yes. when power requirements show (like the videocard you have) say 600 watts minimum, it's because cheap power supplies made in someone's basement can't hold 600 watts continuously and their peak power is measured in questionable ways. This power supply will work with no issue as I have a Z87 (asus gryphon) with a PNY GTX 770 and Haswell 4670k processor. The first one crapped out on me in one day, but this second one seems to hold up well. It has never gotten hot while playing some graphically intense games. I believe the first one was just a lemon. Does that help?

The simple answer is "yes." I use mine with my generator. Recognize, the Tripp Lite's primary function is to maintain a 120 AC voltage level (regardless of the generator's AC waveform). In other words, it is great at maintaining a 120 AC voltage level (it does not clean up the generator's AC waveform).

You will be fine. I'm not home but I believe the strip was 14 awg. Thicker than a pc power cord. I'm using two of these for my arcade mame machine running a 850watt psu and my virtual pinball machine running a 750watt psu. Along with the other accessories like tv's, speakers and usb hubs etc the smart strip has been great and running like a champ with no drop in voltage.

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

It'll work if you have at least a 400 watt power supply, I put it in a build that had a 350 watt power supply and it seemed to work fine, but go with 400 watts or more lol.

I just tested it, and it does work. However, keep in mind it will be extremely dim. Not only that, but in my case it was constantly flickering (however, this could have been due to lack of amperage). To be safe and sure, I'd go for at least a 12v 3a power supply. For my setup (11 strings total outside), I this for power: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008HARHN8 Which I hooked up to http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A46UAQO Using a single controller, with split outputs, for the colors.

This unit will load up to 1.5amp at 10 watts-At 6v you will have more than enough current to satisfy the 500ma-I have bought several of these power supplies for a couple of different custom projects. I wire them directly into circuit boards so i cannot speak to the adapter plugs, however I can speak to the robust construction of the components. I have one that is in service for up to 12 hours at a time and it works well with not problem.

I have a 400 watt power supply and it works fine. I would try it with the 250w because you can always send it back.

Hi dude, the box says: "500Watts or greater power supply". If you have a certified (real) 500W PSU, you'll be ok.

The minimum power supply listed on the box is 350W (350 Watts). There is a side note about having a minimum 12V current rating, as well, which I suspect applies to just about everyone with electricity. I use a 700W supply. As a side note, I do not recommend this video card if you wish to use it for gaming. It seems to work fine for most other things (streaming video, playing dvds, web browsing), but I found most of my games to be quite unresponsive even with severely lowered video and interface options.

yes it will, but I would go with a name brand power supply because my Sentey blew up when I hit the power switch. I sent it back and went with a name brand supply and had no problem, I would not recommend this power supply.

The TDP for a GTX 780 is 250W. Unless you're running a LOT of hard drives or some cpu with a huge power draw, you should be able to use this power supply with power to spare. I think it's unlikely that the rest of your pc is using 250W. I am running a crypto mining system with 4 video cards (each with a TDP of 150W) with this supply and it's only pulling 700W from the wall. Let's assume about 15% efficiency lost to heat so.....that implies that the system itself is actually only drawing about 600W from the PSU.

BG, I really don't know about the power supply, I just plug the unit into 120vac and it works as it's supposed to.

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
