Question Is my psu powerfull enough?

[Matoo69]

Hey so i have

specs:

A8-6600k
R9-270x 2gb
8gb of ram ddr3
2 ssd and one hdd
7fans
And i have 500w psu is this enough?

The wattage of the PSU isn't exactly all that is looked at to verify if it's good or bad. Please mention the make and model of the PSU and it's age. Also, why are you asking the question of your PSU being good or bad when you already have the parts spec'd above? Are you looking to drop in the R9 270x into your existing build?

From what info I can find, it's only a 240w power supply where it matters on the 12v rail.

thermal master TM-500-PSAP-i3

That's a terrible PSU. I don't recommand it to use in any PC. It's not 500w because of the 360w at 12v but I doubt it's stable at that amount of power.
As far as I can see the PSU don't has a PCI-e connector, right?
Your R9 270X de needs 2x 6 pin or 1x8 pin from the PSU?

uh oh thanks, what about lc5550 (550w) v2.2?

Slightly better but still crap, 400w on 12v rail.

Thermal Master is a low low low end sub brand of Cooler Master IIRC. Junk. Do not use.
The LC power is not a good unit either. Both brands should be completely avoided.

You will need to spend more for a quality unit.

 

[John Chesterfield]

Which online shop are you using?

 

[Matoo69]

Ok,when i am here which of this one to buy?

Chieftec GPC-600S or
Thermaltake Smart RGB power supply unit 600 W ATX Black or
ANTEC VP600P Plus or
ANTEC Neo Eco 650C EC or

AEROCOOL PGS VX-600PLUS 600W 80+ Or last one
AEROCOOL PGS VX-700PLUS 700W 80+


thanks guys for help

 

[John Chesterfield]

I wouldn't run any of those. If you tell us which online shop you are using, then maybe someone can point you in a better direction than all of that garbage.

Neither, all junk. Try raising budget some more. Look for Corsair CV450 at least maybe.

 

[Matoo69]

RMx is way to expensive for such old system.
https://www.instar-informatika.hr/n...-550w-80-gold-atx/bit-psu-formu-550w/product/
is more suitable.

What is the budget?

 

[Matoo69]

I dont wanna spend much money… myb one day when i buy new system then i will put good psu…
What about that corsair secendhand?

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Is this a VS with an orange text on the label, or black text on the label?

orange i think this is older moder,why?
And btw any stronger cpu then a8-6600k? Ty

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Orange font models are much older and are horrible. The newer grey label ones are okay

 

[Matoo69]
