asus h97 pro gamer

[Richard Punsalan]

hi to all expert im planning to buy h97 pro gamer mobo + i5 4440 ghz but i have doubt that the cpu required 8pin connector i have gs600 corsair psu + i have dual x sapphire r9 280 3gb vgraphics my gpu already have 2 6pin connector my question is this enough watts to those i mention.thank you in advance.

Well think of it this way, they suggest a 500 watt psu for one 7970, those gpus use lots of power.. So I'd say you would really need more power, you'd really be calling it close.


If you are juggling connectors because you lack the amount of connectors, you probably shouldn't be trying to make it work and just get a better psu with enough connectors for your setup.

A PSU isn't something you would want to fall short on

Perhaps a PSU thats 750+

For a system using a single Radeon R9 280 graphics card AMD specifies a minimum of a 500 Watt or greater system power supply. The power supply should also have a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 32 Amps or greater and have at least two 75W 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors. (Minimum system power requirement based on a PC configured with an Intel Core i7 3.2GHz 130 Watt TDP processor.)

Total Power Supply Wattage is NOT the crucial factor in power supply selection!!! Sufficient Total Combined Continuous Power/Current Available on the +12V Rail(s) is the most critical factor.

Overclocking of the CPU and/or GPU(s) may require an additional increase to the maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current ratings, recommended above, to meet the increase in power required for the overclock. The additional amount required will depend on the magnitude of the overclock being attempted.

Corsair GS Series GS600 “2013 Edition” (SKU# 75-001181 / CP-9020063)
• OEM: CWT (Channel Well Technology)
• maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 49 Amps <===== Way more than enough to handle it.
• two (6+2)-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors
• Modular Output Cables: No
• Official Intel Haswell Compliance: Yes
• 80 PLUS BRONZE Efficiency Certification
• 3 Year Limited Warranty

hi flamehead269 in additional phereperals i have also 3 120mm fans and 2pcs cheap blue led light(led light inside the glass pipe) and normal dvd drive +wd hhd 500gb cause this much things load up to my desktop.this things that i can afford.yesterday i went to the shop im planning to build this things

asus h97 pro gamer
i5 4440ghz
8gb ram 1333ghz
sapphire dual x r9 280 or as you mention 7970 gpu
wd 500gb
dvd drive
psu??________ (your best suggestion)and should i keep those things (fans and led light)

750+? You're joking.

The SAPPHIRE DUAL-X R9 280 draws a maximum of 212 Watts during gaming when manually overclocked. It draws 257 Watts when overclocked and running Furmark. The rest of the system would be drawing less than 200 Watts.

ko888 thanks for your reply,you mean to say i can build this things under gs600 psu.normally for cpu power connector is 4pin right?sorry cause 4 years back i let my friend to biuld my pc and im not familliar how many connectors in my psu.when i check the mobo info i notice 8pins required for power connector.soory im little bit lazzy for this things.i have this things now in my pc and i want to biuld new pc by my own with all experts opinion>

old pc:
intel dh55 mobo
i3 550ghz
sapphire dual x r9 280
8gb ram 1333ghz
wd hhd 500gb
normal dvd drive
3 fan 120mm
2 blue led light (for my cooler master side panel)

new setup

asus h97 pro gamer
i5 4440ghz
8gb ram(previous)
dvd drive (previous)
+ 3 fans and led light
last your psu suggestion. thank you...ko888. : )

A Corsair GS Series GS600 “2013 Edition” (SKU# 75-001181 / CP-9020063) will work absolutely fine.

 

[Richard Punsalan]

ko888 you mean to say psu 750+ is to much for my setup?then i will be fine for my gs600?

There is definitely no need or reason to get a 750 Watt PSU.

If you already have the Corsair GS600 there is no reason to change it.

ko888 so sure it will run smoothly and no overheat on my system even i play for next gen game like asssassins creed unity,cod advance warfare and dragon age in medium or high settings.thanks ko888
