[horatio.yen]

I need a cheep power supply preferably under $60 au for my msi x370 sli
it will have a AMD rayon 5 2600x CPU and 8 GB of ddr4 ram
I don't care much about it being quiet just need is to be reliable and run the board well
will be using computer mostly for low graphic intensive gaming will probably end up getting a GTX 1060 WindForce DDR5 3GB

It will depend on what gfx card(s) you will be wanting to run on it.

To answer your question effectively, we need more information than just the motherboard. The biggest power draw in a PC is the graphics card. That means that the graphics card is the biggest factor in selecting needed watts of the power supply.

What is the graphics card? A discrete graphics card is required for this CPU. What is the intended use of the PC?

 

[terry4536]

I have been looking at the selection of PSUs at Mwave.com (Australia). The most inexpensive power supply that I can recommend is this 520 watt Antec at $ 85 Au. I don't recommend the cheap Corsair models. The power supplies go up from there.

Even though those corsairs perform much better and have Bette removed protections?

The only good Corsairs that are less expensive on that site are the new CX 450s, but if the original poster is using multiple GPUs, 450W isn't likely enough (or 520 depending). I'd certainly take a group-regulated SeaSonic GB Bronze platform over an older Corsair CX or a Corsair VS.

Really just need more info from the original poster.

[Rexper]

No, you can get a much better CX450 for the same price.

Though we still need your full system specs and/or future upgrade intentions, to ensure compatibility.

what cheep power supply's do you recommend for the msi x370 sli

Cheap will work for x amount of time, die off and likely take other components in its death. like motherboard, ram, hard drive.

Ryzen with 8gb ram and 1060 3Gb is pretty basic setup for a system so you will need around 450W-550W (single or dual video cards)


I suggest:

I agree with above. The PSU that you linked isn't great. Having two 12V rails just adds complications to a PSU in that wattage.

All multipliple 12v rails is add safety protection. It’s a good thing, so wires aren’t melted from current.

rexper that is a lie, http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/306437-28-single-rail-multiple-rails-eternal-question-answered
read the last paragraph

 

[Rexper]

Not sure how what I said is a lie? That link you wrote just proves me further. All the last paragraph is saying it may not be necessary for everyone.

But what was said prior to my comment is that multiple 12v rails is a disadvantage which isn’t true.

The reason that multiple 12 Volt rails are a pain is simple. The operator of the PC must distribute the load evenly among the 12 volt rails. That isn't necessary for power supplies with a single 12 volt rail. It is a selling point.

what info do you need?

What are the other PC components? What is the graphics card specifically? What is the intended use of the

PC (gaming for example)?

[terry4536]

The Gigabyte GTX 1060 WindForce DDR5 3GB requires a single 6+2 PCIE power cable. It has a 400 Watt system requirement. I would recommend 450 to 550 Watt power supply.

 

[terry4536]

Here are three power supplies in that power range. All are from Australian retailers and range from $90 to $123. All are gold efficiency rating. All are at least semi-Modular.

Corsair TX550M $105 Aust.

The operator doesn't do that, the PSU is designed so the connectors are at even load. And they don't need to be loaded evenly either because it won't really be an issue at this wattage.

OP, the CX450 is more than capable of the GTX 1060. And it's only $60 which is great value. If you intend to use a GPU needing 2 PCIe connectors you could look at the CX550m/ Masterwatt 550
