Hello all, I have a friend who I am going to show this post. He doesn't believe what I am saying is true I don't think and that what he's about to do is going to work guaranteed. He's just purchased a used Nvidia GTX 275 online somewhere, and he's currently running a 500W PSU, on the Geforce website it specifically says that the minimum PSU requirements are a 550W PSU, making him 50 watts over his rated limit. I'm trying to explain to him the dangers to his system if it even lets his PC power up, yet he thinks this is still a good idea. Please LTT forum I'm going to link him to this post, I would like to see your opinions on such a task.
