[SOLVED] 550w or 650w PSU?

[glitchnyx]

So, this prebuilt I bought recently has a 650W modular psu, and i dont have any sata power cables to add an ssd onto the build. the current one is an M.2
My old PC has a 550W psu. Was wondering if my current build can be run safely with the 550W
Current build is:
ASUS B550M-A/AC AMD
Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7GHz Processor
NVIDIA RTX 3060 12GB GDDR6
4x 8GB DDR4 3200 RAM G. Skill Trident w/ RGB
500GB SSD (I'm adding a second 1TB SSD)
2 case fans w/ RGB
Wraith CPU fan

How? 650W PSU should easily have 6-8 SATA connectors, and yours have just one? Impossible.

prebuild, probably didn't put the extra cable with the shipment.

bought a prebuilt from microcenter. the 650 is modular and only has the pci-e cable and a cable to power the mobo.
there was no supplied sata power cables when i purchased the build.
the 550 is non-modular, hence why im trying to see if i can safely run the build with the specs i listed for the next week or 2 until the cable to put into the modular 650 comes in so i can power the drives.

I would contact micrometer and tell them you need the rest of the cables.
If I build one from somebody they always get all the extra cables neatly bundled and secured in the case.

been past the 15 day return limit, and beyond that i had gotten this build after buying another build that i had to return due to a defective 6600xt hellhound. so i dont think that's likely to happen

If your 550w psu has the requisite 8 pin or 6+2 connector, it should do the job temporarily.

Do not overclock anything in the meantime.

I got that it was prebuilt and extra cables were not included - very bad yet common practice. However, the build came with one SSD and it surely had a SATA cable? unless it was M.2?

was m.2, and i had bought a 1tb ssd to install

So they shipped PSU with exactly zero SATA cables? What a bummer.

wasn't even shipped lol. i went to microcenter when i RMAed the 6600xt, then as the exchange they gave me this other build that was out of the box and everything

Well, then I would still try to do what Zerk said. Worst case scenario, you lose time speaking with them. Best case, you get the missing cables.

Might well be worth commenting on their website.

Pointing out how they are unhelpful to customers can often ginger up a customer service department to stop the non customer facing Wookies playing retarded "pranks" on the golden geese. YMMV
