Can I run this system on 400w power supply?

[Petr_6]

Hi!
My system.. pentium g4560
RX 480 nitro 8gb
Msi b250m bazooka
Crucial 8gb ram
Seasonit ss 400et
1tb disk
After 15mins playing in 1080p is going PC freez (red/green displays)
Is power supply enough?

Are you saying the computer does freeze now? 400 watts is a bit low for a 480, it is enough in theory, depends on the 12v rail amps on the power supply.

There were also issues with the RX 480 using a bit too much power from the PCIe slot, you wold want to make sure you have the latest BIOS for the motherboard and newest driver for the video card.

I'd upgrade the power supply and see how things run also, but it could be too much heat or a bad video card also.

AMD already fixed that with a driver update

i'd recommend to get another your power supply, 550w or so should do fine if you are not planning to upgrade in the near future.

Check out this fantastic power supply from seasonic. Semi modularity, japanese caps and 80+ gold efficiency for less than $60 (after rebate)

use pcpartpicker.com and insert all of your things to see if the wattage.
