Power consumption of Luna II / Pulsar XTC?

Satosh · Post by **Satosh** » Mon Nov 25, 2002 11:54 am

Does anybody know how much power the cards actually consume? I searched planetz without luck. All over this forum peple seem to think one should at least have a 300W power supply, mine is only 200W but my system is quite stable. (A little noise though, that I suspect would be annihilated by getting a bigger power supply.)

I have a Pulsar XTC, a Luna II card, breakout box 2448, three harddrives and a cd-rw... I feel people are going to think I'm crazy only having a 200W PS. Am I right?

If I remember well, a Pulsar1 card (4 DSP) uses 6W.

If all works well, then there is no problem

If you get samplerate errors and other weird issues, a light PSU could be the problem.

Thanks for the reply! Good to know i'm not doing domething terribly wrong! I'll try to get rid of the noise by other means.
