Im thinking of buying an EVGA 8800GTS 320MB, but I don't know if my power supply is adequate enough for it. According to my power supply at the moment (Speedfan) here are the voltages:
+2.5: 1.47V
Vcore: 1.27V
+3.3: 3.35V
+5: 5.12V
+12: 12.06V
I know it says on the item description that it needs to have a minimum of 400watts/+12V rating of 26amps, im just not sure if my power supply can get up that high with the +12V rating and not sure how many watts it can put out. I looked on 3 different sides of the power supply for a readoff of the ratings, but I didnt see them. Im guessing its either on the side thats blocked from my view,cause its IN my computer, or theres no list of ratings. Please can someone tell me if you think it can handle an 8800gts or am I gona need to get one?

Ok, so unless I take off my other side panel to see if the listing of voltages is on the other side of the power supply,should i just buy another one just incase?

There is no way anyone can tell just by the voltages from Speed Fan, that tells us nothing about how many amps it has, or what wattage it has. Try the manufacturers website, or try removing the power supply to find the rating.

The supply can handle it.
