Sup overlords, would this PSU be enough to handle a R7 1700

What happened to people buying 750w+ PSUs? I still use my 1k watt psu from the fermi days.

Anyway people here usually recommend seasonic PSUs over anything, but I think they don't mind EVGA.

>What happened to people buying 750w+ PSUs

I am trying to power my PC not a death star

>>61055454
well heh back in my day 750watts was the norm

>>61055439

Kilowatt supplies are pointless for most builds.

>>61055467
Because you were using fermi.

It's fine and 600W are plenty for that build, but how much are you paying for it?

If you're in the US look also for the Seasonic Focus Plus, 90$ for 650W, fully modular, gold rated etc.

The only reason I got a 750W PSU is because it was only slightly more expensive than a 650W (EVGA G2), and I plan on buying vega, and using the current GPU for VGApassthrough (Ryzen)

How many watts do you think I'd be using if I had a 1080, overclocked ryzen 5 1600 @ 4.0ghz, three 200mm fans, one 120mm fan, and two HDDs?

Just add the power draws.

1080 - <270W (130W avg, 270W max)
[email protected] - ~140W (if you can get it there, 1600 doesn't clock very well),

Rest of system ~50W probably. Take the motherboard's ~30-50W into account.

Total about 460W.
a 550W PSU would easily power that.

When it comes to PSU's you want your max power draw under 90% and preferably under 80%

So if you have a 1000W PSU, your maximum possible draw should be 800W.

This is because PSU's get LOUDER when they draw more power, and they get HOTTER. A 1000W PSU drawing 150w probably doesn't even need the fan going.

So add up the maximum power draw of your components (including extra if you plan overclocks) and make sure you've got that 20% breathing room so your PSU isn't stressed.

Then make sure you buy a decent brand.

Just buy an axi series and be set for life.

>giving money to (((Corsair)))
3/4 of the stuff I bought from Corsair has failed at least once. Just buy EVGA.

No, you want it around 50% if you're aiming for the absolute ideal. That's where PSUs are most efficient.

>>61055755
Nah dude 5% is the sweet spot

>>61055548
>550w would easily power up a 1600+ 1080

>this shit suggests me a 650w psu for a 1700+1070

huh

Fuck off, tech-illiterate retard. It's a fact that PSUs are most efficient at around 50% load.
