Power supply help

[JBoi72]

hello everyone ^_^

http://www.walmart.com/ip/iBUYPOWER-Gamer-Power-WA557APU-Desktop-PC-with-AMD-A10-6800K-Richland-Processor-8GB-Memory-1TB-Hard-Drive-and-Windows-8.1-Monitor-Not-Included/26464578

i bought this computer then i noticed that my cpu temp is like 78-85 without really doing anything.. even on google chrome. my friend says that its because my cpu and gpu are together since its integrated and that if i got a graphics card that my comp wont run laggy when playing league of legends and it would also cool down my computer because it wont be using the integrated graphics + cpu or something..

anyways i was looking at this graphics card to buy since its in my budget range

but it says if u look it needs a 500 watt power supply and my comp only came with a 300 if u look at both links. so i was wondering whats a power supply i can get to run everything thanks!

Your A10 should not be going much higher than 70. I dont think its possible for it to run at 85 because it would have been throttling like crazy if it reached 80. What program are you using to monitor the temps? If you can stretch your budget, the best gpu to get would be a GTX 750 Ti without a 6 pin connector. If you can't, get the regular GTX 750. Make sure that the cards do not have a 6 pin connector since 300w power supplies dont have them. You can run a 750/ti without a 6 pin connector on a 300w psu even if the requirements say it needs more than 300w.

i use cpuid or w.e it is and speccy.

 

[chris987]

gtx650 would be way better than the intergrated 8670d of the apu. i would preffer gtx750ti. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-video-card-gtx750tioc2gd5 as for the psu http://pcpartpicker.com/part/antec-power-supply-vp450 or http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-100b10500kr would be more than enough!and make sure you get an aftermarket cpu cooler cause the stock one is lame and your temps are really high!

 

[JBoi72]

can you guys link me to this gtx 750 ti you guys are talking about me getting

 

[JBoi72]

hey chris would those both work with my computer?

 

[chris987]

both are decent psu units. you will hardly find any better in that money!also to avoid upgrading your cpu cooler you can re apply an aftermarket thermal compound and make sure you have decent aiflow in your tower!

 

[JBoi72]

thanks ill def look into it!

 

[airplanegeek]

but if you are getting a GTX 750 ti there is no need to upgrade the power supply

 

[JBoi72]

wouldnt it be better to up the power supply anyway? and is the gtx 750 ti better then the 1 i linked?

 

[chris987]

a generic psu of 300w would more likely have 240w on the 12v rail and 240/12=20A which is the recommendation of 750ti
i wouldnt trust my hardware on a low quality psu working maxed out all the time. it may work but better have a decent psu with a bit of a headroom and for o/c

 

[JBoi72]

chris if i get the 750 ti that you linked which 1 of those power supplys should i buy that you linked? and can you link me to a cheap/good cpu cooler pls 😀 ? can u link all 3 at once so i can just book mark them!

The A10-6800K max safe operating temperature is around 75 C as stated by AMD

http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/ 212 evo can fit in your NZXT Source 210 since it is in the compatability list 😉

 

[JBoi72]

chris this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099

 

[chris987]

yes thats it! included in the partlist!

 

[JBoi72]

alright! thanks ^_^ i booked marked the gtx 750 ti i think its the right 1. i bookmarked the power supply and just now the cpu cooler

 

[JBoi72]

alright chris! here is my list.

all of these are compat plus will help my computer alot right!?

 

[chris987]

with such psu you will have a power stable machine and with the cooler very nice temps and o/c ability! and with 750ti improved gpu performance! all these are good quality and highy recommended by the community!

 

[JBoi72]

awesome! lol i better start saving up some more money 😛 i prob wont ever use overclocking. can you disable it or something.

 

[airplanegeek]

If you aren't overclocking why are you getting the hyper 212?

 

[JBoi72]

it's better then my stock fan right.

 

[Aphala]

it's better then my stock fan right.

Depends on what CPU you are using, but you don't disable it it's something you control through BIOS but you shouldn't have to if you don't want too.

 

[chris987]

awesome! lol i better stb

|rpasp t saving up some more money 😛 i prob wont ever use overclocking. can you disable it or something.

as i mentiomed erlier, since your not planning an overclock you may lower your cpu temps by reapplaying the thermal paste to avoid the cpu cooler upgrade! also after upgrading to a dedicated gpu it wont operate as an APU anymore. with the intergrated gpu disabled the temps of the cpu may decrease under load!
