Re: Will my new GTX 260 blow a circuit?

Thanks. That doesn't sound like it'll become a concern. My nexrt upgrade will be alot trickier, quad core.

Not really an issue. It will add 100 watts to load max, so add up the peak current drain. If it's less than 1500, you are fine. Just don't plug a coffee maker or vacuum cleaner into the same circuit.

LOL.

.... Of course you can't fault all vacuum cleaners as 1000 watts now. My Irobot 530 uses maybe 10 watts on it's lithium battery...

But yeah, attaching a coffee maker would be bad

Or a laser printer. I've popped a breaker when printing. Heating element and all that...

May as well add portable heating units?

But yeah, that's the main reason I have no laser printers, the sheer amount of power needed.
