Gtx 1070 amp extreme on a corsair vs550 ?

[Rick_MVP]

I've a corsair vs550 . I'm getting a gtx 1070 amp extreme for cheap and I really wanna buy it . I won't overclock or something like that. Will it be a problem ?

Yes. You'll be better off getting something that's at least Bronze certified, like the EVGA 500B or the Seasonic 520W PSU.

Can I use it for 4-5 months before I upgrade ? My system :
R5 1600
Gskill trident z 16gb ( 8*2)
2 HDDs and the 1070 .
Will the vs550 fry my gpu or something like that in the worst case scenario ?

You really would be running a risk - bad PSU's can fry a whole system. It's a Corsair power supply, so if you trust the brand enough to run this risk, you can, but upgrade ASAP, because that PSU cannot even be trusted with a 1060, forget a 1070. I would highly recommend a better power supply before any upgrading.

In the worst case scenario? Yes, it will fry your GPU. Not just the GPU, but pretty much everything else. I had a PSU go bad on me, and I had to get my HDD, CPU cooler, memory, optical drive(didn't use it anyway haha) and motherboard replaced. Don't have a GPU, but that would have been fried as well, I'm sure.

Okay I'll get a RM550x . That's a good PSU ?

 

[Shektron]

Yes, that's an excellent PSU. Will run your GTX 1070 perfectly .

Your call, but do know that you'd be running a risk using it. The rest is up to you.
