got 2 questions but very similar
1: Antec Earthwatts Green 380w enough for 9600 GT? (not gso)
2: Antec Earthwatts Green 380w enough for 8800 GTS 512mb?

Need full system specs & are you OC'ing?
9600 should be ok, 8800 may not.
Yes. One of the last commincations I had with Dave Hammock before he disappeared from the web was how a major brand single +12V rail PSU wasn't shutting down when shorted. We were literally arc welding with the PSU. Hopefully Dave's absense isn't due to the fact that he got over zealous with the welding.

System pulls very little, so either should be fine, however do not buy an EA380, almost no room, very under-powered for today's higher performance systems, if buying new, get at lease a Corsair 400W or higher.

The 12v amperage of the CX400 & EA380D is very close.Originally Posted by davidhammock200
A 2a difference between them. (24w) it's not gonna get you much more besides another HDD.
But for sub $50 units, that's really probably the best option. Maybe a NeoECO 400 if it's cheaper.

I have a data base with PSU's, but only track down to +12V@30A & the EA380 just shows as <+12V@30A, thus my recommendation. I agree 2A is pretty meaningless.

The EA380D is fine for either one.

up to 89W TDP for the 3200+, in real world, it should be between 40 and 60W, the 2 graphics cards are between ~80 and 150W, I'd say they really are between 100 and 120W top.
The rest is negligible, so even the 380W Earthwatts is oversized.

We try to keep max load to 40% to 60% of rated capacity, providing for more efficient, cooler, quieter operation & maintaining overhead for spikes & transients. This should also help to increase the lifespan of the unit.
