Hi Guys,
I was wondering if you think I need to buy a new PSU based on some upgrades that I just made to my pc.
Right now I'm seeing blinking white LED's on the graphics card when I boot up the PC. On the manufacturer website, this blinking white light indicates "abnormal power supply". The PC runs normally and I'm able to benchmark, run games, etc without any crashing (although I haven't put any hugely heavy load on it).
I bought a Gigabyte RTX 2070 Windforce OC 8GB yesterday as well as an AMD Ryzen 5 3600x. Installed both with my 2 year old Corsair CX550M Bronze 550W.
The manufacturer website for the GPU recommends 550W, but I've read a few people recommend more and since the card is overclocked, should upgrading to a Corsair 650W do the trick? Even though it's working now I don't want to damage any of my new parts in case this is causing an issue.
(My MOBO is ASrock AB350M pro4 if that matters at all).
Thanks very much!
