[SOLVED] What should rx 580 power comsumption be watts

[PrinceTexasLoaf]

Hello, I have a powercolor 2 fan rx 580 and if I'm playing an intensive game that power usage is usually 141 watts the most I've seen is 146 watts even in the most stressful possible scenarios is this normal and a good wattage or should the wattage be higher? motherboard is msi b450m gaming plus

should I do memtest84+?

 

[PrinceTexasLoaf]

It looks like your RAM is only rated for 2133 MHz. Did you test for stability when you OC'd to 3066?

I will go eat dinner can you please reply soon

Use memtest86 (without the "+")

See here "Testing your memory configuration to verify stability " here:

How To - Troubleshooting problems with PC memory (RAM) and XMP profile configurations

In the beginning, there was......BIOS Before you go ANY further, go to the manufacturer product page for your specific motherboard model AND revision. Revision is an important aspect because for any given motherboard there may be more than one version of that model which will be identified...

is there one that I dont have to boot off of

nvm

AMD Radeon RX 580 requires on an average of a minimum 500 Watt power supply.

I let memtest do the memory test for 2 hours it said 0 errors aswell

my power supply is 650 watts

Seeing artifacts at times = video card issues
Load up Unigine's Valley benchmark and let it loop for 30+ mins to heat up your video card. Do you see any artifacts? Also the RX580 can draw over 200W of power on heavy load.

even with adding +%5 power limit I have never seen my graphics card draw over 154watts even in stress testing scenarios that heat up my card a lot

 

[PrinceTexasLoaf]

but I will let valley run for 30 mins nonetheless

Sorry, I replied after only skimming the other posts. There isn't anything wrong with your Userbench scores, per se. Most of them are about average.

Are you trying to figure out whether your GPU is throttling? If yes, just load up GPU-Z, turn on logging, and game/benchmark for a bit. Go back to the log file and check out the GPU/mem speeds of your video card throughout the log.

Don't be lazy. IF your RAM is actually 2133, I'd have a hard time believing it'll OC nearly 50% and be stable. Run stress tests overnight and/or while you're at school.

It's ok to add 25% to the power limit. If you're on auto voltage, you're going to NEED to do that to maintain full performance.

 

[ScrewySqrl]

likely its 2133 is because the motherboard is at default, go into BIOS and set the XMP settings, which should be faster than 2133

okay

I couldn't find an xmp setting in my bios I am using newest bios from this month

will it be safe on my last computer I raised the power limit and it fried the motherboard

 

[tennis2]

Again, everything in excess of 75W from the GPU is handled by the PSU. If you had a shoddy PSU that fried your last system, learn your lesson buy better quality PSUs.

He posted his CPU-Z SPD tab on the previous page. He doesn't have any XMP profiles, he's using 2133 MHz RAM.

I'm not sure if you saw my edit on a previous post on the last page, but did you use DDU to fully uninstall your 1050 Ti drivers before installing your RX 580? Did you install latest drivers from AMD's website?

I have the lastest drivers and my computer has all different parts from my old 1050ti build besides one of the sticks on ram

 

[ScrewySqrl]

What motherboard to you have?
the XMP settings, at least on my AS Rock board, and in the overclocking settings

msi b450m gaming plus and im using the new bios thats only 6-7ish days old

Did you do a clean install of Windows when you upgraded the rest of your system?

What exact RAM do you have? It sounds like you're combining sticks that weren't purchased together as a kit?

one stick is crucial and the other is adata both are rated different speeds and timings
