Question Should i use Corsair CV550 with RTX 2060/Super/3060?

[Koekieezz]

Hi guys, i've been wondering if Corsair CV550 could supply an RTX 2060/Super or Perhaps 3060? Currenly im planning to use one of those and planning to upgrade to DDR5 platform once its reasonable enough to upgrade.

System Specs
Intel Xeon E3 1270 v2
Gigabyte B75M HD3
Kingston HyperX 2x8gb 1600mhz
MSi GTX 1050 2G OC
Klevv Neo N400 240GB
WD Blue 1TB HDD
Deepcool Gammaxx 400S
3x Zalman ZA1225ASL fan 1x Aerocool Frost 12 fan

My PSU is Corsair CX550 new one, but it failed on cpu fpu stress test, even on furmark, so i RMA it. They said CX is out of stock and given the option for CX550M one, but i have to pay for $25. So i am trying to bargain for A CV550 one, also if i couldnt, i'll just go with FSP HV Pro 550W instead. Got some corsair trust issued right here 🙁.

Also I live in Indonesia, our voltage is +- 220V, my house is 215-217v i tested with multitester.

I'm sorry, still not convinced. If i didn't knew who you are i would've thought that you're either trolling me or just clueless. Can't think of any reason why FSP Hydro G is just 'marginally better than' Corsair CV550 or FSP Hydro GE, i'd consider it at the very least on the level of something like Corsair CX-F. Am i wrong ? Why ?

Fair enough. I mean, from a BOM stand point it looks like a good PSU. I just worry about QC issues with FSP. They crank out PSUs at a ridiculous rate, but the factory is only kind of "meh".

LOL he has probably forgot more than you will ever know about power supplies.

He knows who I am. He just phrased his sentence kind of oddly.

Yeah, that's honestly what i'm worrying about even when talking about be quiet! PSUs even though they should have an addition layer of QC control over FSP's. I've heard some stuff about early SP11 Plat samples, and in general it looks like FSP * bqt stuff has a little bit higher than expected rate of reported QC-type issues from users, but i guess with bqt it's fine since they're in Germany and their warranty is reasonably long. But with FSP themselves, if you're not in China i guess you're out of luck if something happens. Although if they're cheap enough, why not.

That makes me want to void the warranty on my GQ850 to see what the soldering job is like...

I am well aware who he is, perhaps i wasn't clear enough.

so to be clear, even a FSP HV pro 550w/650w is safe enough for 2060/super but not 3060?

i used them (hv pro 550w) on my friends pc r5 3600 + 1060 6gb gaming x (gpu power 130w i tested it with furmark) and its safe, no complain from him i heard..

also jonnyguru said cv550 is safe for 1070, which 2060 is tad more power like 10-25w depends on the model.

Where did JG suggest a CV 550 for a 1070?

Regardless, your friend's lack of complaint adds nothing here. Unless he has very specialized equipment, he cannot ascertain anything about whether a PSU is performing well or safely other than whether the PC is dead or not. That's about as useful as a cardiologist who judges the health of your heart by whether you're dead or alive.

This is how you can verify if a PSU is working safely.

i just read this earlier

[SOLVED] - Can the Corsair CV 550W 80+ bronze handle a GTX 1070?

Here are my PC components: Ryzen 5 1600 MSI B350 Gaming pro Palit GTX 1070 8gb x2 AVEXIR 3200mhz DDR4 480G Kingston SSD some RGB fans. I was given a second hand GTX 1070 as a gift but looks pretty decent and I was thankful for it, but I was wondering if it's safe to use with the Corsair CV...

also i live in Indonesia, we have voltage range from 215-220v, and its within the spec on that hv pros psu (200-240v)

If JG says it's fine, I would defer to him. For the 1070 only. And not in this market. He can speak for himself, but the vastly different price range to replace a GPU in August, when that was said, and today, changes the basic calculus of risk. That 1070 costs a lot more to replace in 5/21 than 8/20.

Any good PSU can handle those voltage ranges, so it's not a point that favors one PSU over another. If anything, a PSU only having a voltage range that small is a point against it, not for it.

Anyways, im still using my gtx 1050 and e3 1270 v2. when i use CX550 which is rma ed and get CV550 bcs no stock, it crashed while gaming suddenly, so i ran Aida64 stress fpu and furmark test, it failed, stress fpu only, it failed after some minutes for like 4 times with different minutes (first one 25 min, than 7 min, than 5 mins, than 54 seconds iirc), and the gpu furmark failed after some minutes (no more than 10 mins). could this be a motherboard faulty?

But when i use VS450 Orange label, both cpu and gpu stressed together using that method, they're safe for like 40 mins, no sudden pc crashes and stuffs. Im still worried that either the psu or the mobo causes it 🙁
