Question Codegen PSU 300x for intel 17 3770K is enough?

[savior99]

Hi all, I am assembling my new i5 12400F and i would like to sell my old i7 3770k.

I have an old PSU "codegen 300X", those standard genericones that came together with old cases.

Do you think it would be enough? I made a simulation with partpicker.com and it says it would consume 176 Watt, but i think it's in idle because if i add the CPU it tells me 77W, but in load it should be 146 only the CPU.
Then i added samsung 830 SSD sata, Asrock Z77 Pro3, 8 GB RAM and i think that's it, because CPU should have integrated GPU.
In load it should be, more realistically, 250W, i think.

If the PSU is not enough, i guess i will sell only the CPU.

But if power is not enough, will it only just not start, or i risk to burn something?

Many thanks!

With 13A @12v it's a 156w unit. A garbage 156w unit. I would not use it with any hardware.

Some people were worried by it's quality on Anandtech's forum in 2002. It probably hasn't aged well.

Yes, thanks..anyway the 24 pin connector was not even there, I mean, there is but is not long enough to cover all the connections in the MB...nor the connector for the CPU, so i will just throw the PC in the bin and sell only the CPU
