[SOLVED] 650w gold versus 520w bronze ?

[acaciusx]

I have a godl rated 650w psu with 2 rails of 35a each

While the 520w has 1 rail and can deliever 40a
I want to maximuze utilization as i have both a
Rx 590 8gb, and a 970gtx mini, i want the stronger and more capable to be used with the 590 and the "weaker" with the 970, i sinply dont get if the gpu has only 1 connection, will the 650 gold which suppose to be the superior is actually inferior as i cant use both rails,
Im sure on a 1080ti for example the 650 is spot on as it have 2 insertions of 8-pin.

In order to insure you're given the most accurate information, you need to provide a complete parts list for the system including the brand, model and age of both power supplies.

use the gold rated for the RX590 and the other one for the 970. Either way, it´s not relevant to power these cards.

RX590 -> ~220Watt
12Vx35A = 420Watt
12Vx40A = 480Watt

I7 4770
H87m
16gb ram, gigabyte rx 590.
Ssd 240 2tb hdd, the psus are several years of age, and work perfectly fine,
1 is the antec 520 hcp the other is the antec edge 650w conti ueous power

So either way you say itll be an easy task to power either.., thanks

The Antec Edge 650W will deliver full power on +12 volt, so best paired with the 590 GPU.
