Anyone know what wattage is needed to run this?

It has a plug in for the cigarette lighter in vehicles, and I believe it also has an adaptor for home use...guessing 110 watts, (or one can be ordered). My husban uses his in his semi, so he, of course, uses the cigarette lighter plug in.

From memory a 400 Watt PSU is needed. I went 500 Watts just so I could have a little extra.

If you go to pcpartpicker.com and type in all your hardware it will tell you a recommended watt. Also I bought mine used and is in great shape. I trusted amazon enough to buy used.

Should have no issues with a 750 watt. Can always do a power supply calculator which is easily found via Google search. Temps seem to be in this mid 70s for me but I also live in AZ with avg room temp of 78

I'm sorry I don't have knowledge to answer your question.I just run it at 1500 watts the first hour then turn it down to 1000 watts for the three hours i'm watching the football game.

280w is more than double what you would actually need to run this thing. It only draws around 30w. The most the PCIE slot can provide is 75w, so you're fine.

I really can't answer that... that is a large wattage device. My use was to run computer equipment which has been doing very well so far. I'd say check the watt requirements on your equipment and expect it to use more on the startup. Hope this is helpful.

I am sorry but I don't know anything about wattage. So I can't answer that question

The spec sheet says the minimum power requirement is 300 watts for the system and 65 for the card, so it would seem your system is right on the edge.

Any standard power supply will fit. You will need to determine your overall system requirements before you decide what wattage you will need.

It has its own power supply, so it could probably run low wattage devices. However I attached it to an externally powered usb enclosure.

can't really tell .All depends on how your pc is configured. I personally used a 650w

The specs will tell you that and all other info. on the MSI web. I am running two and use a 1800 watt PS. I would think 800 watts would work but it depends what other stuff you have in your PC like say 6 hard drives or 1 hard drive? G

A power suppuy with 600 watts will be enough, make sure it has 2 pci express of 4 and 8 pins, and remember to be sure its compatible with your motherboard

I'm running two of these on an 850W PSU, so really anything above 350W should be fine, but you might be pushing it at 350W

Very difficult to find specs on these machines before buying, still waiting for mine to arrive but have seen somewhere indicating about a 5 amp draw... so that would make it around the 550 to 600 watt range.

It should work just fine. Provided you have a big enough power supply. I personally use a 500 watt
