We recommend that you use a PSU with higher power output when configuring a

system with more power-consuming devices or when you intend to install additional

devices. The system may become unstable or may not boot up if the power is

inadequate.

If you are uncertain about the minimum power supply requirement for your system,

refer to the Recommended Power Supply Wattage Calculator at http://support.asus.
