[the magical me]

hello everyone...

I wonder whether if I install more RAM I will need more power for it, in another words.... does increasing the amount of RAM require increasing the power as well that I must think of another power supply that give more power.. watts ???

tell me please

best regards

Either way, i would get a new PSU :]

Don't worry about it. If an extra stick or two of ram is over-taxing your PSU, you need a new one anyways.

it does but not by much

A stick of RAM requires such little wattage, that there is not enough power draw to consider it for the wattage of the overall PSU... A stick of RAM uses about as much power as a fan, if not less...

Yes, more RAM = higher power consumption. RAM consumes (in relation to the other parts) very little power and I've never heard adding RAM sticks breaking the camel's back; you really don't need to worry about whether your PSU can handle it or not when adding RAM sticks.

RAM only need like 5w.
