Question Does the RM550x have enough connections for a Ryzen 3600 and an RX 5700?

[Snow White]

(Note, I am a first time builder) Only a single SATA cable will be used for storage and the rest of the cabling is something i am unsure about, like what about the 4+4 pin CPU etc. As far as i know, the RX 5700 uses an 8+6 pin connector and i am unsure if that might interfere with the connection to the 4+4 pin connection for the cpu

From teh tech specs tab of https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categ...ced/RMx-Series/p/CP-9020177-NA#tab-tech-specs

PCI-E Connector: 2
EPS Connector: 1

That means there's two PCIe connectors. Corsair always uses 6+2 connectors which means the power connector can be used in either a 6-pin or 8-pin PCIe connection.

EPS connectors are 8-pin, but Corsair always uses ones that can be split into two fours in case someone has a low end board that uses only a 4-pin. If you had a motherboard that needed BOTH an 8-pin and a 4-pin, then you would need a PSU that had two connectors (typically two separate cables).

You'll be fine.

It was simply an aside to you asking if you were the same jonnyguru of jonnyguru.com, or if you were just somebody using his moniker.

Yeah. That would be off topic.
