[SOLVED] RTX 2070 Super and Corsair VS650 ?

[Enix1212]

Hi,

I wanna upgrade from my GTX 1060 to RTX 2070 Super Mini and my PSU is Corsair VS650 (Orange coloured label, Unrated) (2.5 Years old). Would it be safe to use my new card and i5 8400 with this PSU ? I am not planning to upgrade my CPU currently.

How do I put this delicately?

HELL NO!!

The MODERN version of the Corsair VS power supplies are not meant for the rigors of gaming. Mostly for office PCs with integrated graphics, or maybe a VERY LOW end discrete GPU.

As for the older orange labeled ones . . you are asking for a disaster.

Hey,

Alright, Thanks. Do you think Antec Atom B650 80+ Bronze would be safe and sufficient for my build ?

No. You are going to have to spend more money to get a good PSU even if it means getting a cheaper video card.
