Hi
I've decided to upgrade my old pc's gtx460 (2x6pin) with an rx580 (1x8pin) and i'm not sure if my psu can handle the new card. The psu is a Rasurbo Silent&Power 650W DLP-65.1.
Other specs: Motherboard ASRock h55m pro
Processor intel i5-750 2.66ghz.
I'm not sure about the power connectors either as i have a 2pin hanging around one of the 6pins but they both might be from an adapter(not so sure because the cable management is a mess) not from the psu itself. Is it safe to connect the 2+6pin to the new gpu ?
The pc was built around a decade ago but it was used for 3-5 years until now. At first i wanted to build a completely new one but it seems with an OC to the gpu an ssd and more+new ram it handles games pretty well so with an rx580 the games i want to play should run smoothly.
I'm aware that the i5 might bottleneck the gpu but even with a bottleneck i'll get enough performance. So another question: is it safe to run a bottlenecked pc daily ?
