Help regarding PSU

[Ammar Syed]

Will my 300W liteon ps-5301-08ha PSU run an asus rog rx 560 4gb oc edition gpu? Total drawn power is 75W. My mobo is msi 2a9c version 1.1 with an i3 1st gen 550, 320 gb hdd with 8 gbs of ram. Please suggest better psus if you think this isn't up-to par.

I think that Liteon unit was in some HP Compaq unit?

It's a 19A/12V rail unit (228W)

73W TDP on the CPU, 75W max on the GPU + other components.

Nearer 200W max draw on a 228W PSU that's probably 6-7 years old at this point? I'd say no.

While their very much 'budget' / entry-level units, the EVGA BT450 or Antec VP450 are both in the $30 range and should be more than adequate.

That being said, for only $10 more you could have the SeaSonic S12II 520W which is a great quality unit, albeit on a dated platform.

I would be more concerned about the PC supporting the new video card.
Don't really think that is going to work.

If it's an OEM motherboard, you're likely right there Zerk.
The Liteon seems likely it's an HP or similar..... but I guess it;'s not definitive.

A mainstream "retail" board, should probably be ok.

That card requires a 6-pin PCIe cable. Does the PSU have one? I'm doubtful it does.

It does....

Not that I'd trust it, but physically, it has it.

Lite-On isn't like a no-name brand, though. They're usually quite good.

@barty1884 that's pretty odd my psu doesn't have a 6 pin PCI-E cable. So yeah I'll have to upgrade for sure

Amazon's just wrong then.
