Will a Corsair CX 600 Watt Power Supply run an AMD R9 290?

[K-Hype]

I have already bought an R9 290 and was wondering whether my CX 600 will handle it. I won't do any overclocking and I have already lowered my CPU voltage to 1.035v instead of stock voltage to lower power consumption.

My PC Specs:
Intel Core i5 4690K
8GB 1600 MHZ Ram
EVGA GTX 760 ACX/SC
Gigabyte H81M-H Rev 1.1
Corsair CX 600 Watt PSU
Kingston 120 GB SSD
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB HDD
NZXT Source 210 ATX Case

The 80 plus ratings are for a psu efficency, it's not a quality rating. Thats why we have a psu tier list.

After some searching I am confident that the CX600 will run an AMD R9 290.

That is a video of an AMD R9 290 with CX600 running a game smoothly.

Just because it will do it doesn't make it a good idea. We even told you it could do it for a short time. It's still a low quality part, that has a very high fail rate when stressed.



Also try not to put much stock in youtube videos. I could show you a video of a CX600 running four 290x if I wanted to. You can't always trust youtube videos. Stick to professional reviews.

I need to use this GPU with the CX600 till I get my next paycheck so I can get a new PSU.

Yeah and my paycheck arrives on Saturday and my GPU will arrive on the same day.
