Question will an antec 620w neo eco PSU be enough?

[Tehflamex]

Wondering if an antec neoeco 620w PSU will be enough for a i7 9700k and a 2070 super, its 80+ bronze , although if i recall correctly efficiency drops above 50% load anyway, if its not sufficient are there any modular PSU's you could recommend for my setup?

How old is this thing?

 

[Tehflamex]

probably like 4-5 years old at this point T:

Don't use it.

Think about it. You just got a $500+ graphics card and you're asking if you should use a 4+ year old PSU that wasn't that great in the first place?

aight, which PSU would you recommend? is just any popular brand with 650+ watts good or?

A "Tier-1" or "Tier-2" unit from here:

would around 650W provide plenty of headroom for OC ?

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Yes, especially with a quality unit like a Seasonic FOCUS

 

[Tehflamex]

Are you the official "Seasonic Focus" sales rep? ;-)

It's a good PSU, but when you suggest it multiple times in multiple threads, it starts to sound like shilling.

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Nope. I kind of wish I was since I'd make some money from my time here...

The focus gold units are pretty cheap compared to their similar quality competitors.

As proof, heres another good option: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/xT...fully-modular-atx-power-supply-120-gp-0750-x1

No way never, get a new good quality PSU and.

650W

Seasonic Focus Plus
Corsair RMX
EVGA G2

G2 or G3? Sure. But the old G1 from five years ago? No way. They discontinued it quickly for a reason.

Mediocre voltage regulation and high +5V ripple.

At least it's not a bomb, but that PSU shouldn't be on the top of anyone's recommended list.

So maybe my seasonic love is justified?

You're comparing apples to oranges.

Like I said, nothing wrong with Seasonic Focus. I guess if all you know is the Seasonic Focus and a five year old, mediocre EVGA, then suggesting the Seasonic Focus isn't a bad thing.

 

[NightHawkRMX]

It isn't apples to oranges when they are similarly priced.

I would suggest EVGA g2s and Corsair TXMs if they were priced close to the comparable FOCUS, but they arent in a lot of cases rn.
