[SOLVED] FPS HyperK 500W PSU for Vega 56?

[kim87c]

Hello, folks, hope all is well. I'm planning on upgrading my Rx580 4G to Vega 56 and I'm seeing that the recommended PSU is about 650w. Here in Philippines, PC components is still expensive unlike in the US so another upgrade will take a toll. I'm just wondering if my 500w PSU can still run smoothly without any problem with Vega 56 installed in it (or do I need to upgrade my PSU also?). I'm not planning on overclocking it or some sorts as my current specs are:

i5 8400 with ASUS EX h310m MOBO
Pulse Rx580 4G
2x2 HyperX Fury 8GB 2400Mhz DDR4
Seagate Barracuda 1TB and 2TB with Kingston A400 120GB SSD
5 pcs 120mm fans

I've check some reputable power supply calculator sites and it seems like all of the result is 500W PSU range.
Will my PC run?

Thanks!

A good 500w psu should be enough if you don't overclock

There is a reason they set as minimum 650w psu. For vega 56 get at least a good quality 650w psu its really power hungry.

I wouldn't recommend a 500w for that gpu. A 650 would be better. I recommend Seasonic. FSP is okay, but a good psu is important, don't skimp on it.

No its not. Not even 80 plus bronze. You probably burn your card with this. Dont cheap out the psu it can easily destroy other parts too.

Hmm...
This one is a bit to low quality I would say as it doesn't give the 12v rail all of the 500w
The vega56 alone at stock frequencies will hit 260 to 300w
Give the cpu 100w budget (even though it's a 65w part) another 20w for the motherboard and ram and you get pretty close to max the 12v rail
So it could be enough but I personally would not risk it as one small spike could get you above max
