450 Minimum Power supply

[KingArthur]

Alright I have a 88000 GTX card,  but I only have a 400 watt power supply, it recommends a 450 for minimum. Anyway I could get around this? I haven't tried putting it in yet, and i don't know if it will work with this, i was thinking maybe i could de-clock it a tad to make it use less power? I dont know, suggestions? Besides "Buy a New Power supply" because i'm working on it. And to answer the question why I have it if I cant use it, I got it for free from a friend.

Doesnt matter


Do you have EVERY SINGLE PCI slot and IDE/SATA power cord used? Cause if so, then yeah, get a new one.

Alright but the one problem is that you have to buy a new one , when i was going to get 8800gts i thought what you thought , and then i got 'No signal' everey time, so i had to get a new one why dont you try and find a cheap power supply over the net?.

Cheap PSU's are generally really noisy, i had one before, sounded like a airoplane taking off.

True, if you want a decent psu i got a list of some brands:

Enermax
Enlight
Powerman/Leadman
Delta
Zalman
Vantec
Thermaltake
Allied

or, if you are the graphical type to have the best of most things and have a fat wallet so you buy EVGA X58 motherboard, 3 GTX 285 and running them in 3-way SLI and buy a 1600W PSU on Amazon.  ;D
