Default Is My PSU Enough?

Hi Guys,
I have a 500W Delux 39A. Will it be enough to run a 4850X2? 3D Mark runs fine but Crysis, after for about 15-30 minutes all settings maxed out, It gets stuck. If it is something wrong with the PSU, please recomend me a compatible PSU.

Thanks in advance.

You will need at least a 650W PSU for the 4850X2.

Thanks guys. This thing also runs really hot at load. Wil that be a fault? 650W are really hard to find over here. I mean a branded one. Also very expensive. Asus 750W is ~190$. I will look for a 650W PSU.

If the PSU really has 39A on the 12V rail it should be enough, but do you also notice freezing in game?

I want to add that have you tried without overclocked CPU? Unstable system might lead to freeze. Otherwise, it is definitely your PSU.

Yes it freezes. I tested the CPU with Intel Burn Test and no errors. After 15 minutes Crysis the PSU is so hot that i can bearly touch it.

Your PSU is fully loading all the time you playing crysis which means that it's heating a lot and that probably causes these freezing issues.
