Question Wrong PSU for RX 570

[Iniaskle]

Hi there, I made a very stupid mistake,it's my brother's birthday so i ordered him an rx 570 that needs a 1 x 6 pin, guess what his psu doesn't have that. what is a recommended psu that is NOT expensive with not expensive i mean under 55 euro's.
This is his psu right now, it's a terrible one btw: https://www.amazon.de/LC-Power-LC420H-12-Netzteil-V1-3/dp/B0012BBLPE

Will this one work? http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/b-series/b400ver2/
It's one 400w but he doesn't do overclocking.

His specs:
CPU: Ryzen 3 2200G
GPU: https://www.asrock.com/Graphics-Card/AMD/Phantom Gaming M1 Radeon RX570 4G/ but can't use it yet because of wrong PSU
Motherboard: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/a320m-pro-vh-plus.html
PSU: https://www.amazon.de/LC-Power-LC420H-12-Netzteil-V1-3/dp/B0012BBLPE
RAM: 2 sticks DDR4 4GB

AMD recommends having AT LEAST a 450W PSU.

This would do the job: http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/power-supplies-by-wattage/b500ver2/

I would recommend you choose a better model altogether, if you can afford it. Something from Seasonic, EVGA, or Corsair.

I wouldnt buy that psu right now. You could get a better model. The rx570 is power hungry.

Here is a good quality 520w fully modular psu.

But it has the right pins or not?

The B400 i mean

The B400 i mean

Yes, but it is underpowered for the RX 570.

Not worth using the 570 with that psu and at a legitimate risk of smoke and failure killing your components.

3 euro over budget but the cheapest I'd recommend.

While AMD does recommend a 450 watt PSU, they are making that recommendation without knowing what kind of other hardware the card will be paired with. The 2200G isn't a particularly power-hungry CPU, so I suspect a semi-decent 400 watt might be okay. If it doesn't cost much more to go with a 500 watt model, it's probably worth doing so though.

As for the connections, that 400 watt Cooler Master does appear to have a PCIe 6+2pin cable. Most 500 watt PSUs should typically include two of them. Again, while it might work, paying a little bit more for a 500 watt unit like the one in the previous post might be a safer bet, and better suited for potential future upgrades.

Again, it may work but maybe not for long. If it does fail, it could kill everything in your system, or even worse. It's not worth risking $500 of hardware to avoid spending $50 on a quality PSU.

Thanks, i won't risk it, does all PSU work with every motherboard or does it need specific pins or something?

Also what do you mean with not for a long time, after i get that GPU i can get a new psu the next day.
Which one would be best? http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/80-plus/mwe-bronze-550/ or https://eu.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=100-W1-0500-K2
In my country the Seasonic ones really cost way more then in the US so that's why i don't pick those.
Is it better to pick a gold one or would bronze be fine?

 

[NightHawkRMX]

I ment over time the psu may fail. You may be able to run it on the current psu for awhile. Bronze would be fine a 570 and 2200g. Id get the cooler master for more efficiency.
