My config

I have a spair 650w supply

My qiestion

1. Is the corsair 650w 12v rail enough to power my system?

2. Reverse voltage ? Can such a thing affect my PSU?

Thanks a lot

AC voltage cannot be reversed as the voltage swings between plus minus and back to plus 50 times a second.

"Have you tried turning it off and on again?"
