Question Can I run a Rx 5700 xt with a 550w PSU?

[Maverick1234]

So basically I've been planning to get a used Rx 5700 xt to replace my GTX 1050 Ti, but I'm not sure if my Corsair CX550 550W 80+ Bronze PSU can handle it. Basically my PSU has one 6+2 pcie but it says dual (It is daisy chained) so it is technically two 6+2 pcie.

Here's my pc specs:
Gigabyte GA-A520M-DS3H0-AC
Ryzen 5 5500
Stock Cooler
Colorful Battle-Ax 2x8GB DDR4 3200Mhz
Kingston 240GB 2.5 SSD | WDC 1TB 3.5 HDD
Corsair CX550 550W 80+ Bronze
And the GTX 1050 Ti I want to replace.

I have 4 pc case fans if that is also needed. 3 for intake and 1 for exhaust.

Here's the spec of the PSU if it is also needed:

Yes it can run the 5700xt with your setup. Not a great PSU. I would upgrade in the near future to something more current and reliable.

Aight I can run it stock and not oc correct? I don't need to oc it anyways since my CPU isn't even that powerful.

Your CPU isn't a bottleneck with that GPU, so should be able to get full performance out of it, I have a 5500 with a 6800xt and it does surprisingly well.

But yes the PSU should handle the 5700xt, if you can find a used 6600xt, just as fast if not faster, and less power, they go for around the same price as the 5700xt.

Good Luck!

Corsair CX550

From the specs you added it seems like the CX550M which is internally very different from the CX550. Are all the cables fixed or are some modular?

They're fixed yes. That's why I said it it has x1 6+2 pins pcie, but it says dual (daisy chained) which makes it technically x2.

Aight bet. I'm actually going for a used graphics card and my first option was a used Rtx 2060 super. Then I saw a Rx 5700 xt which is being sold for 10% less.
