Asus P5NT WS Computer Hardware User Manual


 
ASUS P5NT WS 2-31
For a fully congured system, we recommend that you use a power supply
unit (PSU) that complies with ATX 12 V Specication 2.0 (or later version)
and provides a minimum power of 550 W.
Do not forget to connect the 4-pin/8pin EATX12V power plug; otherwise,
the system will not boot.
Make sure to connect the EZ Plug™ when using PCI Express graphics
cards and a 20-pin ATX power supply unit; otherwise, the system may
become unstable.
Use of a PSU with a higher power output is recommended when conguring
a system with more power-consuming devices. The system may become
unstable or may not boot up if the power is inadequate.
If you want to use two high-end PCI Express x16 cards, use a PSU with
500 W to 600 W power or above to ensure the system stability.
The ATX 12 V Specication 2.0-compliant (500 W) PSU has been tested to
support the motherboard power requirement with the following conguration:
Normal Loading
CPU PSC 3.73G 1066
DDR800 1GB*2
VGA Nvidia 7800GTX*2
SATA-HD SATA*4
ESATA-HD 1
IDE-HD 1

If you want to use two EN7950GX2 graphics cards, visit the NVIDIA website
