Will my Psu handle an Msi GTX 750 Ti?

[savvas m]

I bought a pre-build pc about a year ago and had an amd radeon hd 8470 on it.It was good for LoL,minecraft ,Crossfire....but now i want to play better games like far cry4.I am thinking of buying an Msi GTX 750 Ti but i don't know if my psu will handle this card.

Here is my Pc:http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=de&lc=de&dlc=de&tmp_geoLoc=true&docname=c03967519#N92

300w PSU is not enough, at least 500w PSU is required. Just compare your current hd 8470 to an MSI 750 Ti

 

[savvas m]

Thanks for replying so fast.
This psu would be ok for this card? http://www.corsair.com/en-us/builder-series-cx600
Also,will it fit to my computer case?

 

[Zabocska]

that psu is perfect, yes it would fit i think.

 

[damric]

I use a 300W for my GTX 750 Ti. It gets all of its power from the PCIE slot which is 75W max.

 

[Zabocska]

depends on the brand of the psu actually, some 300 watts are good, but their price can be so high that you can get a decent 500w psu out of it

 

[damric]

Corsair CX is expensive trash. You should really stop recommending PSUs.

The builder series isn't what I'd call expensive... I've had one in my budget rig for a year now and it's been just as good as any even powering a GTX 760. I don't see the point of him buying a Seasonic or something when all he needs is to run a low power 750?

 

[damric]

All of you turnips get back on the truck please.

 

[chandan lalit jha]

your pre-build PC HAVE ONLY 300W PSU & THIS CARD NEED MINIMUM 60W & RECOMMENDED 400W PSU See link http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N750Ti-2GD5OC.html#hero-specification ,,,so i suggest u must upgrade your PSU 300W to minimum 450w ,,, i suggest u buy corsair VS 450W or Corsair VS 550W Both are very good and also very cheap PSU

This article is not about the cx600, it´s about the cx750. Not comparable.
the cx600 is ok, not best but the price is good as well.

but back to the thread:

The 300W will power the 750TI, the systems Power consumption should be like 220W, even a non 80% bronze could power this.

 

[Zabocska]

i still have a corsair cx which i think is the best for gaming, i've never had any problems with it just to let you know.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

CX , CS , VS don't belong in Gaming builds.

They are good for OFFICE \ WEB surfing builds.

For a system using a single GeForce GTX 750 Ti graphics card NVIDIA specifies a minimum of a 300 Watt or greater system power supply that has a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 20 Amps or greater. (Minimum system power requirement based on a PC configured with an Intel Core i7 3.2GHz 130 Watt TDP processor.)

For your 84 Watt TDP processor a PSU that has a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 16 Amps or greater would be sufficient. Look on the PSU's label to find the maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating.

Please, all you CX PSU fanboys out there, have a look at this:

That could happen to you if you get a CX unit. Your main components could also die with the PSU. If Corsair started using Seasonic in their low-end units (which will never happen), I would recommend them with all my heart, but for now, definitely not.

Lets not spread misinformation here guys. While we all agree the CX is not the best series on the market it is also very far from being trash. They are one of the largest selling series out there with many tens of thousands of them in circulation all over the world. If they had a reputation for exploding and damaging equipment we would know about it. They don't. The reputation they do have is as a decent low end power supply that will die about the time the warranty runs out if you stress it.

I used them in several general use builds a few years ago for family and the only one I have had die on me was a Seasonic built CX400. So take what you want from that! :lol: I wouldn't use one in a new build today though. Too many better choices for the same or a better price now.

I also really don't like that HardOCP bought that unit in a Black Friday sale and it failed testing while the units Corsair sends to review sites seem to test very well. Makes you wonder.

They do , CX power supplies , have a huge reputation of having a poorly made 24 pin power latch.

[Deleted member 217926]

Yeah but what's the market share? 20,300 results isn't very many compared to the tens of millions of CX units shipped. Just as proof here are 9,690 results from "Antec vp 24 pin won't latch".

https://www.google.com/search?q=antec+vp+24+pin+won%27t+latch&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

Think Corsair has sold more than twice as many CX units as Antec has VP units? I do. In fact it's probably several times as many.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

I won't touch one , put one in my mothers Optiplex 960 , died in 5 months , second one died in 7 months.

They have their place for people with restricted budgets or office situations.


I've answered 15 to 20 questions about latches in the past year all were CX and a couple of RM.

 

[damric]

Ouch almost 5% of the tens of millions sold, that's a lot of returned PSUs. I guess in order to make a profit they have to cut even more corners building them.

- 4,86% Cougar ST-350
- 4,76% Corsair CX600 V2
- 4,46% Thermaltake SP-550MPCBEU
- 4,19% Corsair CX500 V2
- 4,13% Cooler Master Silent Pro M2 850

20,000 bad latches could have been a bad day at the CWT factory but I'm not arguing. I wouldn't buy another one either. The three I did use I bought when the series was fairly new and the initial reviews were all very good especially for the price. Like I said one of those did die on me and it was the Seasonic made CX 400. They replaced it with a CX 430 and it has been just fine since. All three of those computers either have onboard graphics or just a display level card.

That's a great list.

Here are the 5 models with the highest return rates during the time period:

- 3,64% Corsair Gaming Series GS600

- 3,59% Corsair CX500 V2
- 3,59% Corsair CX600 V2
- 3,39% FSP (Fortron) HEXA 500
- 3,31% Seasonic S12II-520

The really interesting part of that list is the RAM.

Here are the 5 products with the most returns:

- 4,92% : Corsair Vengeance 16 GB (4x4) DDR3 1600 CL9
- 4,46% : Corsair Vengeance LP Black 16 GB (4x4) DDR3 1600 CL9
- 4,35% : Corsair Vengeance LP Blue 16 GB (4x4) DDR3 1600 CL9
- 3,46% : Corsair XM3 8 GB (2x4) DDR3 1333 CL9
- 3,31% : Corsair XM3 16 GB (2x8) DDR3 1600 CL11

Here again, we don't take see any memory kits with over 5% return rates, nevertheless here are the 5 kits with the highest return rates:

- 4,41% Corsair XMS 4 GB (2x2) DDR3 1333 CL9

- 4,14% Corsair XMS3 8 GB (2x4) DDR3 1333 CL9
- 3,63% Corsair Value Select 8 GB DDR3 1333 CL9
- 2,73% Corsair Mac Memory SO-DIMM 8 GB (2x4) DDR3 1066 CL7
- 2,67% Corsair Vengeance SO-DIMM 16 GB (2x8) DDR3 1600 CL10

Once again without knowing market share the data can be misleading though.

to put it simply i myself have used an cx430 w which trashed my office rig in like 1 day.
i had an corsair gs600 which failed to work in about 2 months. luckily my parts survived.
i know 30 other people who bought those cx psus by believing they get quality for the price and hey it's corsair. 10 of them died in a silent way, 5 took the whole pc with them and 1 was about to burn everything in it's way.
i know old dell, chinese almax and sefon psus which weren't supposed to be any good, but which can practically survive tests which most corsair psus can't and which are even of better quality: better capacitors, better cooler, better power latches...
simply put the cx series are trash as long as gaming and demanding tasks are taken into consideration. maybe good for office rigs (hell no ty) but to put one of those in a gaming rig where you do all that demanding crap... one must be crazy..
if i want corsair i go buy a pc case >_> and only those well respected psus that reached tier 1 and 2.
