Hi forum,

I was gonna order this card. My machine's cpu only draws 65w not oc'd.
I have 3 hd I assume pull 10-15w a piece. 1 optical combo 30w? 4gb ram 1w per gb not oc'd.?.? So that's roughly 150w.

The TPD for the 6770 is 108w (source). So that's about 260 total...leaves me over 100w to play with.?.? Am I cool getting this card?

I don't much about PSUs but it says max 370@ +12 18a, +12 15a

It's a HP server psu that ran an AMD Opteron quad core.

Thanks!
 
i think i have a 6790 in my server PC, it only has a 400W psu. i think you will be just fine.

EDIT,

its not a 6790 that i have, but it is a 67xx card. i think you will have zero problems
 
You should be just fine. :) But you probably need to upgrade your PSU in the future tho. 370w is pretty low for all the modern cards now.
