HD 5770 Power Requirements

Hi everyone, In researching a new video card, I saw in another thread where someone recommended 20A on the 12v rail for the HD 5770. The box for my Seasonics 550W shows 18A on the 12v rail. Is my PSU sufficient to run this card? I will not be doing any heavy gaming. Thanks. Processor...

Upgrading First Build

Thanks for your reply - exactly the type of feedback I was hoping for. After about 5 minutes of play, the game just freezes up. He says sometimes he can hear the video card fan increase speed just before this happens, so maybe it is a dirty heatsink. I will try to give it a good cleaning and...

OK To Run On 1 DIMM?

What I thought was a problem with my graphics card was evidently one of my memory modules going bad. With the bad module removed, things seem to work fine. Is there any harm in running on a single 1 gig stick of ram for awhile? I'm told I have to RMA both 1 G sticks, but I don't want to be...
