Can a EVGA GQ 750W power this build?

Asus r9g strix b250f
Asus rog strix gtx 1070 8gb
Corsair RGB ram (8GBx2) 3000mhz
Intel Core i7-7700k 4.2 ghz
Corsair hydrocooler h110i v2
WD blue 1TB

Yes with power to spare!

 

[Barty1884]

Yes, and then some/

You're looking at around 300W max draw at stock, a little more OC'd.

A quality 500W offering would work just fine.

I see a GQ750W for ~$90 today.

A 550W G3 would be more than sufficient.

As would a Corsair CX550W @ $50

Or SeaSonic S12G 550W

The 750GQ is a poor choice. Get a better quality 450W or 550W unit.

 

[Barty1884]

@turkey, just due to the price/overkill wattage, or is the 750GQ a poor PSU? Other than it being a bit noisy, and FSP, not SuperFlower.....

 

[turkey3_scratch]

Superflower isn't even better than FSP. In the industry Superflower is actually a Tier 3 manufacturer because they outsource so much production since their facilities are small. Pretty sure FSP would be like tier 2.

Jonnyguru put it best: Superflower and Seasonic have great engineers, but they don't have the resources of Chicory, Delta, HEC, Great Wall, CWT, and probably FSP. Believe it or not all those are considered higher tier in the industry, that is, which isn't necessarily indicative of the performance of the PSU but is can be indicative of the quality control of the manufacturer.

I'd have to recheck the Tom's review of the 750GQ but I think there are equivalent 550W units with better protections and are quieter. It's been like months since I've seen the review so I'd have to check.

I'd rather have like an RMx honestly.

 

[Barty1884]

Oh I wasn't knocking FSP or SuperFlower, I just meant that it was a change in the lineup as most of their G lineups were FSP until the GQ series, no?

 

[turkey3_scratch]

The G1 were FSP also.
