[SOLVED] PC overheating after installation of new PSU

[mrb00ce]

So few weeks ago i made a post here saying that my PC had freezing and bluescreens issue and everyone told me that it could be the issue with the PSU so i replaced it and now I'm still getting BSODS and freezing .Today when it froze i got some kind of red artifact at the corner of my monitor, My GPU is only like 8 months old could this be the motherboard?

My specs
Core 2 quad q6600
Colourful GT1030
4GB RAM
Zeb g31 motherboard

Actually here is an alternative to the CV450

Amazon.in: Buy Cooler Master MWE 450 Bronze V2 230v, 80 Plus Bronze Certified, Non-Modular Power Supply (Black) Online at Low Prices in India | Cooler Master Reviews & Ratings

Amazon.in: Buy Corsair CV450, CV Series, 80 Plus Bronze Certified, 450 Watt Non-Modular Power Supply - Black Online at Low Prices in India | Corsair Reviews & Ratings
Cheapest I can reccomend for your system. Get something reputable that isn't a waste of money.

There is hardly ever a reason not to get at least a 750 watt psu as they are cheap enough and if the extra power is not needed the unit will run cooler and last longer

The original poster has an Nvidia GT1030 and a Q6600, which are not particularly power hungry. The total system might draw 150-200w under full load to be honest. A quality 450w PSU is perfectly adequate for their system and is not going to be under much stress at all. Considering both units linked are 80+ bronze and are going to be running at about 50% of max capacity, heat is not going to be an issue.

The OP seems to be on a budget, and a quality 750w would be double the cost of something like the CV450 or MWE Bronze V2 450w. While a 750w would have its benefits, its not likely workable in the OPs budget, and is quite unnecessary IMHO.

Again if there is a power supply problem upgrading to the same watt unit even if a better one is just silly. As I said the larger psu will ALWAYS run cooler and last longer and can even be swapped into a new machine at some future point. See I think in forward gear, this saves money and problems

Suppose he wants to upgrade the card next but can't because he does not have enough power

Because at today's prices a good 750w PSU costs a LARGE amount of money more than a 450w PSU. And on top of that while I agree the PSU he got was junk, "overheating" was not the problem. This thread yet again is another example of replies without proper knowledge or information. Again move along.

Lost the password and i tried using the PC without my GPU and now it works just fine. So I'm gonna replace the GPU and get a new PSU what do you think about this PSU?

As I said earlier

Would not reccomend that PSU. You really need to spend a bit more to get something decent.

Ok i wanted to buy it because Antesports is a pretty popular company in India and it is a reputable brand.

Its not a good PSU. The equivalent of $27 for a 500w PSU? Corners were cut, many corners were cut.

No 80+ and 2 year warranty don't inspire confidence. ~450w on the 12v rail too.

Would it work for your PC? Probably. Would I reccomend it, no.

Then I'm gonna get corsair PSU

The CV450 is a decent choice for your system. Also https://www.amazon.in/Antec-VP450P-...d-search-10&pf_rd_t=BROWSE&pf_rd_i=1375390031. Comparable with the CV450 but a bit cheaper.

Probably gonna get this one cause a friend of mine got the exact same model.

But does it have a 4 pin connector? My motherboard only requires a 4 pin connector

 

[NightHawkRMX]

The 8 pin is almost always able to be split into 2 4 pin connectors.
