i think it will, but the risks are high.

why not invest on a 4670 instead?

hindi ako mag OC ng cpu at VC kaya siguro to hehe 304w ung sa psu calc result

http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp found this link at mukhang kaya nga ng generic 500w kasi daw

Generic 500w, actual rating approx ~280w-320w
Generic 550w, actual rating approx ~300w-350w

OKay rman cguro but to be safe bro.. get any branded PSU. The risk is high.

3870 is way better than the 4670. ok ra ang 4670 in terms of performance per watt.

@ topic
3870 will run on your 500watt generic psu. question is, how long?

Its hard to say na kaya nang generic e because you do not know what the actual wattage of a Generic PSU is talaga. It says 500watts but it could even be just 300 watts and that is where the RISK is.
