Is my psu enough for gigabyte gtx 980 g1 gaming

[go4a.n]

I want to buy a gigabyte 980 g1 gaming and I don't know if my psu is enough with 550w

 

[DRagor]

Depends on what model and brand of PSU it is, and what other components you have.

Opss sorry for answer down I'm new and I can't where to reply anyway my psu is some Chinese cpu i7-870 ram corsair 4x2 1.5V I don't remember the motherboard

 

[DRagor]

Well, 'some Chinese' that's not telling much. Does it at least have two 8-pin (or 6+2-pin) plugs? Can you drop a PSU label picture?

 

[go4a.n]

No it has only one 6, but I've bought cable 6 to 2 6+2 pins and right now I can't do a picture because I'm on a ski trip

 

[DRagor]

If it has only one 6-pin cable, than I can assure you it will not be able to power gtx 980. And even if it does, it will do so for not long time and then blow up.

That is a disaster waiting to happen - melted connectors, plus a PSU with no protections will result in a mess. If you can afford a GTX 980 you can surely spend something like $60-70 for a decent PSU.

Can offer me the cheapest suitable psu?

'Cheapest' depends on where you buy, as prices can be affected locally quite a lot.

Is segotep sg-d600 good enough?

 

[DRagor]

The availability of good units is somewhat limited from what I can see, but this one will not fail you: http://nikem-bg.net/computer-components/Seasonic-FOCUS-Plus-SSR-550FX-GOLD/

Will it be enough for the gigabyte g1 gaming?

 

[DRagor]

Absolutely.

 

[go4a.n]

Ok thanks!!!

I would not consider this safe choice. It might not be powerful enough, and quality is rather mediocre.

 

[go4a.n]

How?The one you considered to me 550w this one is 600w?

 

[DRagor]

Wattage is not all that matters - quality is more important. Plus that be quiet unit is a bit overrated - it's total wattage is 600 W, but 12V line load, that matters much more, is only around 550 W. Although it's not that awful as you can find - there are units marketed as 600 W that can actually do no more then 300 W.

Is focus plus platinum better I found like 5 dollars more second hand

It would be very good deal IF you can get original receipt with it - those units have 12 years warranty, but you can't claim it without receipt.

 

[go4a.n]

It has warranty to 2027 year

It has warranty to 2027 year

Then it's worth.

Am I going to have bottleneck with cpu?

 

[DRagor]

Depends on resolution, but I'd say a bit for sure.
