low power consumption (says it requires a 450w power supply, but it works fine with my 400w ultra v-series with 20a on the +12v rail).

from Frank, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: probably could have gotten away with 400-450w ps but "hey" for $ 34 who cares.
from N/A, www.newegg.com

from Chris, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: i'm running this on a 400w power supply so this could also be a reason for its diminished performance.
