[SOLVED] Will a Seasonic (400w) run a rx570 with a 8 pin adapter ?

[dexgo10]

Hi, I wonder if a Seasonic ss400es works with a Msi rx570 armor 4gb. The psu has seven or eight years.

On the other hand, I have to put an adapter and I found differents options, molex to 8 pin, sata to 8 pin and 6 pin to 8 pin, but I don't know what is the best for the gpu.
Thanks!

Blu ray rw

It might help to link to the online stores you can use. Some of us might be able to help find something worthwhile that they have to offer.

Great! 1 dollar is equal to 69 argentine pesos. These are the options that I have in the principal stores:

Unfortunately, they are a bit more expensive there. Something like this would be more than respectable.

That things are expensive doesn't change the basic safety issue; your PSU doesn't suddenly have more than 360W of +12V power or become not a decade old and adapters don't become safe just because it's inconvenient.

You either need to shell out the money for the PSU or the money for the 1650, unless you want to risk having to replace more new and old PC components. Things are expensive now given the supply difficulties. Are all Newegg Argentina options $100 shipping?

The cost of the shipping depends of the product, but is too high and also I have to pay more money for taxes. unfortunately it´s no an option newegg or amazon.

What do you think about this one?

Meh. It's a better option than straining a 360W PSU and using a fire-risk adapter, but if you're going to have to overspend, you might as well overspend on something that will last you a decade. But it's at least a real option, if a middling one.

I wanna know if there a significant difference between these models, and which one is the better option for me:

MSI RX 570 4GB GDDR5 ARMOR OC (160$)
ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1650 4GB GDDR5 OC (216$)
ZOTAC GAMING GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER Twin Fan (240$)
ASROCK RX 580 8GB OC Phantom Gaming D (255$)

Wouldn't get a 4Gb card nowadays, the newest games already showing performance hit's when it's memory limited. The 580 8Gb is a very capable card, would go for that.

The thing is that I read bad comments about Asrock, so I´m not pretty sure about that model.

Today I found this one: https://articulo.mercadolibre.com.a...cking_id=1e5550bf-d836-4702-ba99-7595b242ba13

It´s not the same model that others users recommend me (Cx500), but it could work?

 

[King_V]

No, The VS is not a good model. And if the VS letters are orange, it's even worse.

Even with the CX, if you find one where the CX part is green, avoid it. You want the newer ones where the CX part is black.

Thanks for the advice, I did not know that
