[SOLVED] Will I need a new PSU?

[augustsk]

So I really want to upgrade my GPU, right now I have an Asus 1060 3Gb, and I want to upgrade it to an MSI RTX 2060 Super 8Gb, and I was wondering if I would need a new PSU for that.

My specs:
CPU: i7-8700k
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i
GPU: Asus 1060 3Gb
Motherboard: Asus Prime Z370-P II
RAM: G.Skill 1x16 Gb 3000MHz
PSU: Enermax NAXN ENP500AGT

your PSU supplies 21A and 24A over the 12V rails so you're still manageable as long as both PCIE connections are used. Just remember to split the load

Total power over 12V is 408 and the 2060 shouldn't go above 250 tops which leaves a little room for HDDs and other drives.

What you said about the 12V rails, and how I need to split the load, I don't really get how? I'm not very good at computers.

 

[Mr.Spock]

you should be good if you use both (6 or 6+2 pin) connectors on your PSU - the split rail simply means each connector can only draw a certain amount of wattage from your PSU.

Yeah, I'll use the 6+2 pin to the gpu, and I understand now. Thank you for answering my question!
