We recommend that you use a PSU with a higher power output when configuring a
system with more power-consuming devices. The system may become unstable or
may not boot up if the power is inadequate.
If you are uncertain about the minimum power supply requirement for your system, we
recommend you to refer to online resources for Power Supply Wattage Calculator.
If you want to use two or more high-end PCI Express x16 cards, use a PSU with
1000W power or above to ensure the system stability.
