Liteon 300w PSU upgrading GPU

[neewuu]

Hi all,

Quick question here.

I want to ask whether this PSU would be okay to run a nvidia GTX 750ti (this one),

Here is my current PSU

My current Nvidia GTZ 745 (OEM) has a TDP of 55w, this 60TDP would be a 5w increase. This is an 80+ Bronze certified PSU (maximum 20a on combined 12v rail), would it be safe/sufficient to run the 750ti on this psu?

Currently I am running these desktop specs;

Windows 10 Home 64-bit
Intel Core i7 6700 @ 3.40GHz Skylake 14nm
RAM 16GB Dual-Channel DDR3
4GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 745
3TB HDD 5400 rpm
PSU 300w

Thanks for any help with this!

See, first of all Hellfire13 your PC fried because your Processor is a Haswell processor which has most of VRM on inside of the CPU and thus if proper ATX Power is not supplied then even little overvoltages can damage the CPU. This is not the case with 6th gen processors. And his 6th gen is not overclockable. Also iBall is a bad company, your PSU might not even provide the full power as mentioned on it. Whereas Lite-On is a brand of Compaq which further is a brand of HP. Lite-On makes OEM PSUs for many companies like Dell, Asus, MSI, Acer etc. Their PSUs are quite good and wont fail easily.

i understand that Krishan...
point being...u dont only consider gpu wattage while buying a psu...u need to consider also the other hardware wattages which are collaterals...
and the psu has to add up with all the wattages and needs to give a little leverage to that total amount as well...
now...what i mean is...more often than not i have seen a lot of hardwares crash due to lack of power even being on par than not...its always convenient to keep a little headroom than to be at exact power requirement...
when u r at par, it is like 50-50...but if u exceed a little, it might give that extra bit of leverage...
and that G series V2 Seasonic 550w fried a 6700k...
hence my observations...
we are both right at our places...but its better to be practical than theoritical...atleast thts wat i thought...

Dont know about that i7 6700k frying case, it might be due to GPU or he may have some other problems.
And i checked Wattages of all the components in his Build which when put at full load wont exceed 192W of power. It will mostly hover around 160 watts while gaming sessions and around 20-30 watts when Idle. And his PSU is 300 Watts so we are getting 100 extra watts. Theres no way he will ever exceed the 220W mark.

might be...lets see...only time will tell...

Thanks for the replies guys, like I mentioned I will be upgrading the PSU at some point soon and a better GPU so I will do that hopefully before longevity of this current PSU becomes an issue. Thanks for the link for the EVGA psu also, if I do have any bad experiences with the GTX 750ti on this PSU I'll be sure to post!

Many thanks!

Thats for a Mid-End above Gaming PC. GTX 750ti is a low end GPU. No need to worry.
