Can a zotac gtx 1060 3gb AMP! run on this PSU?

[koruru08]

I'm about to purchase a Zotac gtx 1060 AMP! but reluctant because of my PSU..
My current GPU that is plugged on this psu is a 9800gt Green.

Crown Challenger 500w


Has a 5year warranty, and some promising logo, LoL
I don't know about this but here's the voltage spec...

Also has 2 6+2 pin connector

Current processor & ram:
i5 6500
8gb ddr4 ram


Game planning to play is, The division.
Would it be okay to use this PSU in a long run?


if not then i would just purchase a Gtx 1050ti... 🙁

That psu is Tier - 4 psu and i won't recommend using that. Using that would put your system on a big risk

I don't know that particular PSU's quality, it's not the forum's tier list, which can be seen here:
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
A GTX 1060 system requires about 20 amps on the 12v line, this PSU can feed 30. So in theory it shouldn't be a problem. I would just test it and see if it works under load. If the PSU has been working good with your current system, no need to replace it, since a GT9800 requires more power than a GTX 1060.

Thanks for the info Bootcher! and yes it's not on the tier list.. maybe it's really is a rubbish psu, not even in the list.. but on their site, there are psu which are labeled Generic, in this one is on the "Continious output" list...

i hope someone here has a experience using this kind of power supply... >.<

Usually unknown brands of PSU's mean it is not of best quality, but if it has worked without a problem with a 9800GT it should work with a GTX 1060. If you rather be safe get a new PSU of reputable brand, see the tier list for good options, I would recommend getting at least a tier3 PSU for your setup. Remember a PSU is a good investment, a good PSU can easily outlast 2 computers' lifecycle.

Or maybe if anyone who runs a GTX 1060 3gb on a generic Psu, it would be a great reference if i should buy one or not LoL!
