Handle Supply
How many additional case fans can a 550W power supply handle?

I added two more 8cm case fans to my computer. I was wondering how much additional load my 550-Watt PSU can handle?

Here’s what I have.
2 – 12cm case fans
3 – 8cm case fans
Abit KN8 SLi motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 3700+ CPU
GeForce 7800GT GPU
200 GB Hard drive
1 – DVD drive
Oh, and there’s the fans in the PSU, CPU, and GPU.

Is this too much load for my power supply?

Go to http://www.3dcool.com/PWC.php

This web site allows you to put in your equipment and then figure out what you have left. If you can’t find the particular part you are using – then guess the highest wattage one you can find listed. I started plugging in your equipment and it said you had about 125 Watts left.

Good luck.
