As the title says, I’m wondering if a EVGA 450BV power supply can run a xfx Radeon RX 580. The recommended PSU is a 500 watt however I don’t plan on overclocking, is a 450 watt PSU ok or do I need to upgrade? Here are my PC Specs:
Ryzen 3 3200GE
GA-A320M-S2H motherboard
Crucial ballistix 2x4gb RAM Sport
XFX RX 580 8GB
1TB WD Caviar Blue + 320 GB WD Caviar Blue
Rosewill FBM-06 Case
EVGA 450BV PSU

think you experienced reading comprehension fail, I never said anything about efficient - the card is rated at 180-200W and the PSU put out 24A and then 32A even in testing. Just do the math ? 29A enough on the 12V rail enough to run any RX 580?
that should be enough even for a Vega. did I recommend it - no. but it's certainly not underpowered.

nothing else listed is that demanding. so the GPU pulling about 1/2 the rating of the PSU and not much else.
use case was no OC so not much extra juice to account for.



and it's a single rail design vs the one you commented on here:

Watch it with the insults.
it'll be fine, not the best PSU out there - but it'll get the job done.
plenty of power on the 12V rail for your RX 580 - PSU is rated @35A on the 12V rail, Removed

as I said not the best PSU but it'll get the job done - if it ain't broke... no need to fix it.

the complaint was you may not get full power, but then that's not an issue if you're only running a RX 580

Performance and build quality were decent, he took issue on value...
kinda the usual nit-picking from a PSU-snob, but not catastrophic stuff

Mr. Spock, you're really just going to highlight one page, and disregard the rest of the review?

The unit's bad mate.

Not sure why you are thinking the RX 580 is a power efficient card, because it's not. Given the power a RX580 can pull, a mediocre 450w PSU is a bad idea.

You forget about transient loads and the fact that RX 580 pulls more power now than it use to. There have been many drivers that have increased performance but have also increased power usage. I have a RX 580 Red devil and in a system with a stock 8700 it can pull 500w

The Bequiet in that link you posted IS a better PSU than the EVGA BV. But since the driver updates and increased power usage even it may struggle.

The only fail I see has been your time here, you have posted alot of garbage advice in your short time on the forum.

Transient loads still don't amount to 35A rated amps, not even on a Vega or do you just regurgitate this stuff when the facts don't suit you? again OP use case said no OC

Another vote against the EVGA 450BV PSU here. As the johnnyguru review points out, the psu is rated for 30c temp. With the Rosewill FBM-06 case's top-mounted PSU design, the PSU will be pulling warm air through it from inside the case - not good.
