[SOLVED] Can my 600BQ Power Supply work with this RTX 2070 Super

[Alex-Tokamak]

Hi I'm thinking of buying the EVGA RTX 2070 Super Black Edition 8GB but it says on the min requirements for a power supply that you need 650W, I have a EVGA 600BQ Power Supply would that still be enough?

Here are my specs:
CPU: Ryzen 5 2600
Motherboard: Asrock B450m Pro4
Ram: 16GB Ram
power supply: EVGA 600BQ

The recommendation is an exaggerated estimation. There's many different hardware configurations out there and the company does that to cover their butt.
It's entirely possible to run with less than the recommendation... that said, you'd be pushing it with a C Tier psu: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/psu-tier-list-psucultists.3624094/

Would the 600BQ be enough for a RTX 2070 Founders Edition

 

[Phaaze88]

It might. It might not.
Wattage isn't everything. The quality of the internal components matters more, and that's where your current psu falls behind on.

A low quality psu paired with a mid-high end gpu isn't exactly a stellar combination.

BQ600 is not stellar quality. While it will probably work, I can't say I would reccomend it.

 

[Karadjgne]

Not a problem. Your whole pc won't be pulling more than @ 400W (ish), well under what that BQ is capable of sustaining.

They are sorta correct, the BQ I believe is the one 'B' Evga that's not halfway bad, so there's that at least. It's the other 'B' units that really do not belong in a gaming oriented pc.

I have a full custom loop, 3700x with OC, 2070S run by a 600w Corsair SFX (stack a couple of cigarette packs together and the size is close).

Okay thank you so much for the information it was much needed, now one more card sorry lmao. What about a RTX 2060 Super OC and a normal RTX 2060 Super, would 600 be enough then?

 

[Phaaze88]

I'd feel more comfortable with that combo.

 

[Alex-Tokamak]

Okay cool thank you so much

 

[Alex-Tokamak]

I'd feel more comfortable with that combo.

oh one more card I was wondering about I’m so sorry if I’m bothering you but what about a GTX 1080ti would the 600BQ be enough for that

 

[Phaaze88]

That's even harder than the 2070 Super in most cases, so I'd say no.

ah okay thank you
