Hey all,

my only concearn us if my Power supply will handle an X850 pro? Its a 400W power supply which has no name lol so yeah its cheap but on the label on the side it says on the +12 it gives out 16Amps. this is what i need to know right? is 16A sufficient for a x850 pro? tks guys i appreciate your feedback. |

Having more amps that required is fine. But having less than required can result in the card simply not working.
