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!
