Question Will this PSU be enough?

[syynnh]

well I recently got a sapphire R9 270X, I also have 8 gigs of ram ddr3, i5 4590 (nothing is overclocked) 22 inches led monitor plus 2x 500gb hdd at 5.4k rpm and 7.2k rpm, the psu I chose is the Thermaltake Smart psu 600w 80+ white, will that be enough?

 

[Peiguy]

The wattage will be enough but you should get a higher rated power supply such as a bronze or gold

 

[TJ Hooker]

Did you already buy that PSU, and if so, can you return still return it?

 

[dorsai]

Yes. It will be plenty for your rig.

 

[NightHawkRMX]

The wattage is fine, but the smart is not very efficient and low quality.

Have you already bought it?

That's not a very good high quality PSU though. Just a basic 80 PLUS unit. Try to grab some other MODEL. It will work on your PC, but I would recommend you to get the following PSU models and brands. These are high quality units. Look for similar SKUs.

SEASONIC PRIME, and Prime Ultra, or FOCUS Plus GOLD, Focus Plus Platinum.

CORSAIR AXi, RMi, RMx 550/650W, SF, HX 2017, HXi.

FSP - Hydro PTM 550/650W.

Cooler Master - MasterWatt Maker MiJ, V series 550/650W.

Antec - High Current Pro, High Current Platinum, Earthwatts Pro Gold, HCG Gold.

Super Flower - Leadex Gold II.

be Quiet! - Dark Power Pro 11, Straight Power 11, Dark Power Pro P10.

EVGA -Supernova G1+, GQ, P2, T2, G2, B2, BQ =>750.

well, im going to buy a thermaltake tr2 600w 80+ bronze, i heard is not a bad psu and it isnt that cheap, the problem here is that i live in Argentina, prices here are very high for products with a quality that doesnt mactch those prices, here i cant get that smart psu for around 3000AR$ which are like 70U$ but the 80+ bronze tr2 600w goes for 2500AR$, something like 57U$, my hypothesis is that the more expensive one is worse but is more expensive cause its semi-modular, i have already used the tr2 600w with a sapphire r9 270, not 270x, and it was ok, there you can see that i am not getting a better gpu cause its hella expensive too, im talking about paying more than 1500u$ for a gtx 1080ti aorus xtreme edition.

Can you provide a link or two to some online retailers you can buy power supplies from in Argentina?

Wow, the selection on both those sites is very limited. A TR2 may actually be your best option (although I didn't actually see a TR2 on either of those sites).

I know for a fact those aren't the only two stores in Argentina.

In fact, starting last year, Corsair started shipping Argentina specific (-AR part number) SKUs with Argentinian part numbers for everything from VS to AX.

Is the evga 500w 80+ bronze enough for my sistem?

Is the evga 500w 80+ bronze enough for my sistem?

Which one. EVGA is a brand. "80 PLUS Bronze" is a lever of efficiency. 500W is a wattage.

There's a "BR", a "BT" and a "BQ". The "BQ" is the good one of the three.

 

[NightHawkRMX]

BRs arent abominable either.

The sleeve bearing fan and very low temp rating arent good signs.

However, the BR units have decent output specifications and a DC-DC converter as well as a whole slew of protections. Decently efficient too.

Where's a review?

 

[NightHawkRMX]

I can't find any.

I'm going off of what I have heard other moderators say here and what EVGAs spec sheet says.
https://www.evga.com/Products/Specs/PSU.aspx?pn=1F2DBC72-28E5-42FC-AE31-256E4CAE7AAA

Decent warranty aswell. Not an amazing unit with a lower efficiency rating, low temp rating, and old school sleeve fan. Certainly not the worst by any streatch.

Where's a review?

i have another question, i was checking the power consumption of the r9 270x on idle and full load, i have concluded in 2 questions, is it hard to get to the full load of the card? Those benchmarks take in account the whole system or just the graphics card to get that wattage use?

Absolutely not. I would take any of the EVGA Bronze PSUs over any Aerocool.

Look at what AMD reccomends as the lowest psu wattage for that gpu. Get that wattage or above.

Thats a good rule of thumb but there are some exceptions.

Corsair CX550m (2015) 80+ Bronze. Less money than the no-name above.

What was wrong with the EVGA Bronze's in your last post? Now you're just jumping around and not gaining any ground.
