BFG Geforce 7950 GT OC (ASAP)

I need help, with a PSU for this card.

I know it needs a 12v at 22A...

Any ideas on what PSU would support this card..

That one started smoking, and didn't power it. Perhaps i plugged it in wrong, but i am doubtful. I plugged the card into the PSU directly, with the PCI E (6 prong) cable. Perhaps i needed the one that came with the card, where it goes from 6 prong, to 2 four prongs...

Perhaps it was just a bad PSU, any suggestions???..

if the PSU started smoking dont take chances with it, RMA return that PSU for a new one.


(( where it goes from 6 prong, to 2 four prongs... ))

and you can give that a shot as well when you get your PSU back

would that work though?

what would be the difference?

Wow, you might have fried the video card too! Hope thats not the case!

I see two 19A 12V rails. But chances are that it will still work. 12V1 goes to your cpu and other peripherals while 12V2 supplies your video card only. I doubt a 7950GT can consume 22A. But its rosewill, what can you expect? Get a better quality powersupply and get what you pay for.
