PSU info, please help!

[sam_justice]

Right I just ordered
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-137-SP

and it turns out it needs 430w of power. My PSU says its 230volts (not watts). How do I know how much wattage I am getting out from my PSU (there aren't any stickers anywhere on it, apart from one saying 230v)
Please help as I don't really want to have to buy a new psu!

if it doesnt tell you anything about the psu then your best off getting a new one. voltage is the same for every psu. is there no indication of what brand it is? what is your current computer?

look on the bottom and other side; look for a sticker that has liek 12v 4v 8v or w/e then times it by the number of amps on each rail so like 12v 3a = 36watts then add them up and thats how many watts your psu is.. goodluck

nah it's just a sticker about the safety checks its undergone.
oh and keep checking the nuclear dawn site within the next 24 hours

It's probably on the inside-the-case side, you would need to take it out to check. Does it even have a PCI-E connector?

Buy a new PSU, the fact that the PSU have right now doesn't tell you it's wattage is an indication that it is a cheap, rubbish one. There's no chance that it is going to deliver 430W.

It's an AGP card, the PSU is a bland, generic one. There's no way it would have PCI-e connector.
