Question

Hello Everyone,

I have just bought a new MSI GTX 1060 today to replace my old Radeon 7950 HD Boost. The seller told me that the new card will not be compatible with my current power supply: the Aerocool VP Pro 700W.

I would like to know if this is true. Please help.
Thanks.

Read http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2142513/aerocool-pro-700w-good.html and I hope this is a cheap PSU.

"Tier 4 - Not Recommend for stressful situations. May not be able to put out full rated power above room temperature, and may slightly fail to meet ATX specs.

Aerocool"
