Will my 350w psu manage gtx 660?

[Hammad5161]

Hello i just bought an ankermann pc from Amazon and it comes with an BeQuiet! 350w power7 PSU and the gpu is gtx 660 with the fx 6300. I seen people with gtx 670's and i7's so must work right? Thank you for your help.

If you don't upgrade the gpu should it imo be possible.

id say that a 350watt psu with a gtx660 and a fx6300 is far too small. id go with at least a 500watt just to be safe.

yes it is sir. It is the PSU I am talking about. I am not planning to overclock or anything just games at high settings.

It will be cutting it close,it could be up to 250watts it uses which is about 80% of what the psu can deliver.(i'm comparing some reviews for this,so it isn't rocket sience what i'm doing meaning you can't be sure i'm right!)
Reviews on the other hand measure at the wall socket so efficiency needs to still be applied.With 250watts would that be 250:100x~85=212.5watts. which gives more room=about 67% of usage.
The underlined still is true!

to be safe your best to upgrade, your psu may be fine running them, but as Vic 40 says, it will be running very close to its maximum. its cheap enough to buy a good 450/500watt psu. look at this, its only £31 for a corsair 430watt. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-Builder-Series-Bronze-Supply/dp/B009RMP14M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1400426544&sr=8-1&keywords=corsair+430

sorry for bothering you but I'm turned 14 for my birthday i got this pc i wished for ages and im pretty sure my parents wont let me get another psu :/ so i just hope it works out it comes with a 2 years warranty.

 

[Vic 40]

I think you can safely try it out.I also sadly can't be sure of that.I think that the math is good though.

 

[Hammad5161]

it comes with efficiency and 80 something so thats a plus right?

 

[Vic 40]

It's 80+ bronze with the following efficiency according to be quiet,

Efficiency (%) at 230V, 20% load 84
Efficiency (%) at 230V, 50% load 87
Efficiency (%) at 230V,100% load 85

as long as you don't overclock at all you should be good, the fx6300 isn't THAT power hungry. And that's good you have the 2 year warranty too. If it does break you can try to tell your parents you needed a bigger power supply but they wouldn't listen haha 😛

Does playing on higher settings increase watts and i would be fine on high settings right with that build?

 

[Vic 40]

The numbers i used are taken with metro 2033@high which should tax the cpu as wel as the gpu as high as any game so imo should you be fine.

 

[WhiteSnake91]

It'll be fine

They wouldn't be selling it if the power supply unit was inadequate.

I have been using GTX660 with Core i5 (Clarkdale) along with 3 HDD, 1 DVD-RW, 2 120mm LED FAN etc and it works fine.. PSU is from cooler master.. It runs a 24'' full HD passive 3D monitor
