get something with 80 plus stamped on the side, and dont be afraid to go a little overboard
if your pc is just turning off on you in the middle of a hot cyberpunk scene you might also wanna take a look at your nasty 10 year old power supply

Welp, looks like I was right...I need a better power supply. I upgraded recently since one of my components died and I did a small upgrade but my 550 W PSU didn't like that. This video 110% proves that I messed up and I thank you for this.
Np homie glad i could help
What did you upgrade? I upgraded to a 240mm aio from a stock fan cooler and now I have random restarts I have a i712700f paired with a 3060 ti and a 600w psu. I’m trying to find the reason for the random crashes.
@@germanlopez745we have the same problem, my psu has 500w and I recently upgraded to 3060 and AIO. I might get a new 750w or 800w psu
Thank you for this great video! I would have thought that the setup wouldn’t start at all and couldn’t imagine that it can damage the components.
I’ll certainly use the bequiet calculator before getting my new graphics card in 2023.
using a 750 watt gold psu with an rx 6950 xt and a 5800x, so far i have had bad performance and some apps crashed.
great advice, thanks for the help!
thank you, i have a question. my system specs: r5 5600g, rx 6500 xt, b450m and a 120mm aio, 450w white psu from cooler master. would my psu be enough for a b550 or a b550m. i hope to get a clear answer. thx
Such a great Video dude 🥰!, I wanted to ask: I am using a ( Ryzen 5 3600 / 1660 super / 4*8Gb ram / 1ssd / 1hdd) with a 500 w psu, whenever I load the pc ( rendering, Playing games) the hdd suddenly disconnects and reconnects, I have changed the SATA/Power cables, even tried a new hdd but still had the same problem! is it possible that my PSU isn't enough anymore 🥲🥲🥲 ?
Omg thank you so much I’ve been looking online for 2 days trying to no to find out why my system keeps turning off. Everyone was saying it’s the gpu (RX 7600) or the cpu (Ryzen 7 5800x) is overheating. I swapped for my old gpu (RX 6400) and the cpu was still hitting the same temps idle. Thank you so much man!
When it shut off did the gpu fan start ripping at full speed? I’m having that problem under load sometimes
Not to knowledgfable with PC's but I made my first PC back in 2014. I have been transferring my PSU as I upgraded parts over the years. its 1050 watts. Its a very old model now tho, its U12-41564 and 80 plus bronze. I now have a 3080 OC, 64gb ram, ryzen 9 3900x and hella fans and rbg. It powers everything fine but I worry. thanks!
This is very helpful. I am getting ready to upgrade from Ryzen 5 2400g to a 2600x, running a GTX 1660 6GB, 16 GB RAM, two HDD drives, and some fans. I am using a 500W gold 80 plus. Do you think that will be enough?
Its perfect
@@CoilWhine Agreed. 500w gold es perfecto.
thank you very much for your intel. i am a complete ignorant when it comes to hardware. i bought da asus huracan 21cn which has a two piece external power suply for around 400w. i upgraded the gpu from a gtx 1080 turbo to a rtx 2080 turbo a few days ago. and it apears that the power suply is not enough for the new gpu since it simply turns uf under load. now i dont know how to fix the problem since the mainboard is wierdly powered with two powersuplies.
I use RX5600 XT 6GB I3 10100F with power supply 500W. Is it enough
Damn, so i need a titanium, my pc is $5k. Thanks for the help, I've had a 750w 80gold for a year. It's starting to turn off randomly, currently using the warranty to get a new psu, but I think based off your advice I'll sell the replacement psu and use that money to get a newer psu higher wattage and higher grade
Just installed a cpu water loop with pump and 2 fans bringing my total fanage to 5 case fans, my pc is running a ryzen 5 5500 at 4.2ghz, 2 16gb 3600mhz corsair vengence ddr4 ram oc’d to 4000mhz, and a lightly oc’d radeon rx 6600 xt. My pc crashes under full load or when I overclock it, my psu is 700w, would you say the psu is the problem? I feel like it is but don’t want to spend the money.
I have a question yeah i know it's weak (be queit 550w gold) but i use it with ryzen7 2700 and an rx6700xt and it was good and worked well but after i changed my cpu up to a ryzen 5 5600x does not work anymore can't turn it on. It's not enough to run the pc anymore or i do something wrong ? I have chance to change the pw supply up to 650w... 😅
my pc power supply failed after 2 years i replaced it with the same 600w one , should i got a more watt one ?
My monitor wont detect my new RX 6600 8Gb, also the vga led light on the mb is lit, when i plugged in my old gtx 1050 ti, it work just fine, is it a power supply problem? my specs are i7 3930k, 8gb ram, 1tb ssd, 500w psu
So i have a Antec Neo Eco 500watt psu
And my specs is
Ryzen 5 3500X
Msi b450 bazooka plus
Thermaltek Tough Ram z one 3200mhz Rgb
Aigo Dark Flash Twister 240Mm AIO
Evga RTX2060 KO ultra
1 120Gb ssd
1 1Tb samsung 970 Evo plus 1tb
1 toshiba 7.2k rpm hdd
3 fans and 2 controller.
Is it Enough?
If i have a rtx 2080ti and i9 9900ks what is the absolute minimum psu wattage (is 550w enough?)
I got a 6700k and a recent rtx 4080, and it doesn't feel like it is performing to its full potential, with a 750 w psu, it shuts down once in awhile, or wont boot up to the lock screen
Yeah, Even the very best 750W PSU will cause a restart from time to time. Those 4080's can spike to well over 500W. Your problems are likely to occur when playing games that work the CPU at the same time. I have a 3080 and a more power hungry CPU than yours. In some games I need to set my GPU to 70% power draw to avoid crashing.
I have a ryzen 5 3600 with an rx580 , 500 w PSU. I never had a crash , but l can't play games without Vsync. When l play with uncapped fps , l play with some games up to 100+ fps but it doesn't feel smooth. I have 75hz , l was wondering if my monitor isn't having enough power when fps is uncapped .
I installed a new gpu and the pc wont boot up I unplug the power from that gpu and it turns on any idea would a low wattage power supply cause this? Or could the gpu be dead?
I just ran into this scenario.
4 months or so ago, I got an RTX 4080 to go into my 5600x system. Realizing that while in the 5600x was a good CPU, it was bottlenecking my GPU, I went with a 7800X3D build. I have a 750w 80 plus white and with the 5600x, it was managing "just" to run my 4080. But as soon as I got the 7800x3d and an extra SSD, I ran into issues! Well today I ordered a Silverstone 1000w 80 plus Gold PSU and have undervolted and underclocked the GPU and CPU until it arrives
What kind of issues? Elaborate please?
Turn off turn off right? I have problem where no signal yet my pc still on, is that PSU?
AMD A8-9600 RADEON R7, 10 COMPUTE CORES 4C+6G 3.10 GHz running 2 1gb hard drives + 1gb ssd plus 2 cd rom is a 600 watt enough ??
Hey man great video, I have a GTX 1660 super and an i5 10400f and randomly throughout the day my monitors would turn of and say no signal, is this anything to do with my psu as I have 500w one or is it a hardware issue.
I had the same issues as well but the difference is the monitor shut downs and my keyboard lights turn off also. Sometimes it restart by itself sometimes not and i need to force it to boot or turn it on again by turning the whole pc off. But the thing is. My pc still running all fans and lights are running and on including the cpu fan but why only the monitor and keyboard loss signal or lights?
Even in idle or RUclips still random crash or shutdown.
Can anyone help me address what's the problem of my pc??
I recommend 600-750watts PSU. Im using a 400watts PSU for AMD Radeon Rx 550 and it Crashes black screen and gpu fan speeds triple during i start any game like assassin creed, battlefield, need for speed etc. So im buying a 700 watts psu
Well I dont really know much but I think I have that problem
With psu of 400w
While my gpu and cpu alone should use 365w
With additional usage
And power loss
Im definitelly going over board with the psu
And I got it turn off And on multiple times this way...
My poor pc 😥
This video was awesome. Do you think a 750w gold will work for a 3070 ti and an i7 12700k? Thank you!
u can use pc partpicker and check the wattage and use more than the recomended
@@captsilva1973 thanks. I built it and its so sexy and the psu wasnt a problem at all. Booted first try
i have 5600x 3060Ti, is it enough 650w GOLD psu?
I am using ryzen 5800x3d with sapphire rx6800xt and 2 nvme drive. My psu is corsair hx 850. Do you think its enough for my current setup🙏🏻
You should be fine, I'm fairly certain.
My brother uses the same cpu and gpu with a 750w corsair 80+ gold psu and no problems so far.
3080ti and 5700x on 650w, I like to live on the edge.
My gpu 3080 and my psu 750 same thing happen my monitor black screen but pc stil on and gpu and fan still working.theres no issue in monitor Im very sure. Do you think I need to changed my PSU to 850 golld? Thank you
God damn it man, bought 6800xt eith 7500f and using 750w xpower psu and this happen to me should i change psu?😊
12900k with 3090 with 850 watt psu and my monitor turns black and pc remains on with fans spining
I dont think my powersupply is strong enough to power my 3080 the rgb isn't working(assuming it's my 1200w (idk what vrand it. Is)(I bought a Thor 1200w hopefully that fixes it)
Running a 3600x cpu
5700 gpu
X570 prime -p mobo

Is this enough I feel like the core of my problems is that a 550 is topping out
Hi I have a rog strix x570-e motherboard and 5900x with 850 Corsair psu it stays on for like 8 hours and then cuts out any ideas what it cud be please thanks
I have the same board with same cpu with 850 thermaltake rgb grand gold power supply and a asus tuf gaming 6900xt oc edition with 64GB RAM corsair lpx vengeance cl18 and I am getting BSOD Page_Fault_In_Non_Paged_Area
0X00000050 BUG STRING CHECK Saying NTOSKRNL and NTFS.sys is what drivers are failing and I am not sure what to do next. CrystalDiskInfo says my WD BLACK SN850 2TB w/heatsink and WD BLUE NAND 2280 m.2's are healthy 100% both, and my two 32gb ram sticks passed after 7 and a half hours with memtest86.
My Gpu maker asus says this specific gpu recommended psu is 1000w when paired with my ryzen 9 5900x. Would the lack of power explain my blue screens and occasional black screen restarts?
My PC tends to run very loud before shutting down while running max graphics on games. Adding up my wattage I saw with just my graphics card, CPU, and motherboard I pull about 710 watts from my 850w power supply. Not including fans rbg and CPU cooler. Would a 1000 watt fix this or and I looking at a heating issue?
Yes it would. If you overclock then you definitely hit the limit. I was running a 750watt with a 3090/5800X3D, 13 fans and 3 SSD's. Upon overclocking I'd have an issue on some games where it would shut off like his did. Got 1000 and now my GPU is getting fully utilized and I've had no more shut downs
i have an i7 11700k, 32gb ddr4 3600mhz, 1tb ssd, 6 rgb fans with water cooler, and a gtx 1660 super, so do you think a 750 gold would be enough to install a 2080 or 2080ti
a 750 should be fine unless you're doing some crazy overclocking on your cpu + gpu.
Nvidia recommends a 650w. I ran a 2080ti and a 3950x with everything boosted without issue on a 650w.
My issue is that when even i play even a small game my pc crashes and the sounds hang up cuz my 500watt psu got blown up and i installed a 380watt psu and this started happening so then my problem must be the psu cuz i have a rx 470 4gb and i5 3470 10gb ram and 2hhds am i right?
Yeah that is probably not enough
I have a 3060 i7 8700 non k variant and 16GB of ram is 550 watts good enough or should i upgrade? No errors or blue screens since i uograded a couple months ago
Sounds fine
I have a 600w evga 80+ power supply with a rtx 3060 tuf i5 10500 hyper 212 evo 5 fans rgb strips one m.2 sdd one sata ssd and a hdd I keep having random crashes on valorant and other games I can play assasins creed valhalla for hours no problem but the pc full shuts off on valorant and restarts same with league or elder scrolls sometimes ive had it happend on gta aswell idk what the problem is but it fully shuts off out of nowhere
Should be more than enough
I bought a pre made pc and it came with a i5 cpu and 3060 ti gpu. I’ve already had the gpu replaced because twice because of it shutting down, but I’m still having it shut down, so you think it’s because of lack of power. I think my power supply is 600. Thanks
what kind of ram do you have and is xmp enabled?
wow, a decade old and it had 750 watts, while my PSU which I got in 2018 has 450 watts and cant supply my computer anymore XD
Also, I just did a bit of research after hearing some of the things you said, and yeah, its definitely my PSU that's messing my computer up
Would 400 watts be enough for the, MSI Ventus GeForce RTX 3060 12GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 Video Card RTX 3060 Ventus 2X 12G OC?
I'd avoid that personally. They say to use a 550 or above with a 3060, and the card itself can hit close to 200w of consumption on it's own. Add in a CPU + mobo and whatnot and you're uncomfortably close to the limit of your PSU.

I dont know if youll reply, im using i3 4150 XFX amd radeon rx 550 2gb dual fan no power connector, everytime i start campaign on any game like assassins creed, need for speed, battlefield, call of duty elden ring and ETC, my computer crashes into black screen "No conncetion" and my GPU fan triples its speed, all i could do is restart😓😥😣
What power supply watts should i use? I use 400 watts power supply unit. I d appreciate your help, thanks and happy new year🥰🥳
That setup should be fine on a 400w PSU, though your power supply could be failing.
I'd check your temperatures first though, get something like hwmonitor running and see what your temps look like as you apply a load to the card. The thermal paste on it could be bad, or it could be full of dust.
So idk if it is the psu or not but my pc is turning off and on and off and on. Its not booting. Its power cycling
Ah man, theres alot of things that can cause that. You can hop in the discord and we can try to help you out.
Will not having enough power prevent the PC from turning on?
potentially, an insufficient power supply is really noticeable when you put it under load, like in a game or when running benchmarks. Pushing a PSU to the limit can cause extra wear and tear though, so it might cease to power on after a while. A damaged PSU can also damage other components.
I had a PSU start causing crashes because it wasn't good enough for the 3080 (forgot I only had a 650w in the system). It ran fine for over 6 months, now it causes intermittent crashes. Swapped to a 750w and it's fine now.
I've also had a cheapo power supply kill my old rx-470...
Generally, I don't mess with PSUs, buy a quality one that meets or exceeds your expected workload. It's cheaper than rebuilding an entire system that got cooked.

Hello, I have a ryzen 5900X, 32 gb Ram with Noctua cooler and a RX 6950 XT, 2ssd and 1hdd on a X470-F Gaming motherboard.. my PSU unit is bequiet 850W... when I play games it crashes, my pc turns off and I can start it again only if I pull out the cable from the PSU for a few seconds... you think this because of the PSU?
Bro you have top of the line everything, that gpu and cpu combo is super power hungry, I would upgrade the psu to at least 1000-1200 watts whenever you can
i have gtx 1660
i5-11600k

ram 3000mhz 16gb
psu njoy 550w
i tried many things optimizations
changed cpu motherboard 2 ssd’s
internet provider and i still have massive input lag/delay in all games and i can feel it on desktop too,
can it be psu? problem
nah thats not really a psu problem
Hey if my pc got stuck in sleep mode then I hard shut down and now wont post, even or any fans u have any idea of what I can do beside re seat every component which I did moved ram to every configuration possible have cleared cmos and nothing just ram lights up but no fans spin. It was running yesterday but I guess sleep mode was too much for it idk 😐 I'm losing my mind watching ppl say the same things I tried please any help would be amazing love your guys channel, honestly only place I know I could maybe have a shot at contacting you guys
I would think its like a ram error but I'm starting to think ps failed or a fan cause hard shutdown but its like wtf it was just fine ill never use sleep mode again I wiggled my mouse as it was going to sleep and it froze in that state , but fans came back on like it was waking I think. But after shutoff nothing makes any noises no fans just rgb ram
@@jalepeno_pete3589 mind joining the discord? Im going to sleep for tonight but id be glad try to help tomorrow
@@CoilWhine thanks. Ok
If u have a link maybe on a newer video I'll check,, never-ending i found it lol
could having a power supply not powerfull enough make the screen go no signal or make the game freeze and lag
Yes, that's exactly what happened to me.
It went away after upgrading my psu - despite ppl telling me that it can't be the reason, but turns out it was.
But I was 50w lower than recommended psu with my previous one.
i think u wanna put some more foam on the walls
Dont film there anymore
I have a ryzen 5 3600

ever since I got my index Vr and full body I had to connect a lot of usb and my pc turned off and I’d turn it back on and it will last me maybe a few minutes and then it just turned off so I decided to buy a gold 80+ 850 w do you think that’s enough ?
Its a safe bet
I have a slightly similar PC but with a 3060ti and 750w PSU bronze from Corsair. So far I have never experienced shut downs, so I guess you should be fine with a 850 PSU.

Definitely not a psu issue
Hey I got a rtx 4080 i9 13900kf
Has 4 led fans. Us 750 watts 80+ gold enough?
Also the computer turns off randomly and tries to start up but doesn't even make it to the bios screen, all the lighting and fans still function for a bit when this happens..after i unplug and wait 5 minutes it'll turn back on and issue will arise randomly once again! Do you guys think the psu is not enough???
Hi there i just got a new pc and went to go connect it to my monitor which was working fine via dp for a while, until it started to lose signal after playing a game, i got rtx 3060 and a ryzen 5600x with a power supply of 700W do u think the problem is the power supply
Doubtful thats more than enough wattage
Try and update your video drivers or downgrade them if the issue occurred after.
Would you say my power supply isn't enough for my machine 500w for a ryzen 5 3600/ gtx 1660 super/2tb ssd samsung qvo/1tb hdd wd surveillance/240gb ssd with no manufacture/ atx motherboard/ 2 fans top of pc and 1 cpu fan (heatsink) , My D drive disappears every now and then while playing games and sometimes when i load my pc it cant find the c drive, so tells me i dont have an operating system
that could be just the HD dying from bad sectors, 500w seems enough for that PC (assuming it's a good one). you can always try reducing power of your GPU with msi afterburner with very low impact in fps.
@@Strytax ok thank you :)
i was getting a lot of stutters in my Ryzen 5 3400g and GTX 1650, i thought it was my ssd bought an NVME and the thig still going on. i used an Powersupply calculator online and it turns out that i need atleast 580w for what i have. My pc only restarted suddenly once but it was months ago, the thing that bothers me is the sutters. whats your opinion about this mate? should i get a new power supply?
or its too late? i mean for the hardware damage idk
@@StreamerWorld I wouldn't worry about hardware damage at this point. Power supplies are a bit annoying to work with, sometimes you have an issue like yours where your power isn't enough, sometimes you're Zax and running 100W less than recommended without issues.
You didn't say what PSU you have, but I'd definitely get a nicer unit from a good brand (corsair, evga, seasonic, etc) to keep your hardware safe long term. I've personally killed 2 GPUs with a cheap PSU in the past...
In the meantime, you might want to consider lowering the power limit of your GPU in MSI afterburner and/or turning off PBO for your CPU in the bios to reduce some of the power draw.
@@CoilWhine my PSU is 500w, but i did the test wrong tho, i selected 6 processor chips thinking it was equal to cores, lol thats why my estimated consumption went up a lot. so the correct number for my pc is 280w not 580w lol. idk how to fix my suttering tho been like that since forever did a lot of pc tweaks and nothing. my only option rn is to do a clean format lol. i did an undervolt with my 1650 to 1800mhz and 900mv and still doing bad. ty for responding mate, i apreciate that.
@@StreamerWorld well what games? It's likely your GPU; I had constant stuttering on a 3050 in Control at 2k (60-90fps), and upgrading to a single fan 3060 solved it in a snap. Your game/settings/gpu matter more for consistency imo.
Is 750 watt good for my pc it has i9 13900k, rtx 3070,
750 should be fine. Nvidia recommends a 650w for a system running a 3070 + 10900k. The 13900k should pull roughly the same amount of power as the 10900k. I can't vouch for any overclocking though as that can massively increase power draw.
I have 6 fans, gtx 1650, a ryzen 5 5600, with 16 gigs of ram with a 600w bronze psu are those good?
What do u recommend to change out
Should be fine
After upgrading my CPU to 11700k, paired with 3060 Ti, my PC always freeze and restart when playing spiderman remastered with Ray tracing on after around 10 minute without stutter before freeze and no freezing/restart when i turn the RT off. Trying undervolt CPU and GPU, it last 30 min before freezing and restart. Im using cooler master sfx 650w. I hope it really just the PSU, ordering 850w
Edit: temp GPU and CPU never above 70 before freeze and restart
Did it fix the problem for you? Currently, I have the same problem and don't know for sure if it is a faulty card or my 850 psu just isn't working properly
Same question, did it work?
do you think a 450W bronze will be enough for i3 10100F gtx1050 ram 16gb 3000mhz and a 240gb 2.5 ssd_
Hmm I have Almost exactly the same setup but im using a nvm.2 instead the 2.5ssd , and 2 fans and Is going pretty good atm, no RGB
@@christidesson so ur using a 450w psu?
I'm so afraid of messing up my system, I'm building my first pc gaming and I have an old Corsair cx650 watts.
My specs are:
CPU: Ryzen 7 5700x
GPU: RX 6800 XT 16GB
RAM: 2x8 GB 3600 Mhz
CPU Cooler: Water Cooler 360mm Rise Mode
Do you think an old 650 watts psu is enough?
They recommend a 700w for the 6800xt, but the cpu you're using is only a 65w part so you should be fine.
My question is how old is this "old" PSU?
A psu is something you really don't want to gamble with, I've personally had a cheap psu (rosewill) kill a GPU of mine.
I also had an "old" corsair 650w running a max pbo'd 5800x (140w under load) and a 3080 (recommends a 750w psu), and it ran solidly for about a year. After that, i started to get weird crashes. Turns out the PSU was bad, thankfully the corsair didn't damage anything on it's way out.
TL;DR: Should be fine, consider getting a newer PSU in the future to stay safe. Pick a good brand (corsair, seasonic, evga, etc) not a cheapo no-name, or....apparently gigabyte lmao.
Also don't be so nervous, building a PC is like playing with fancy legos. Just be a bit careful, watch some guides, and have some fun.
@@CoilWhine Oh Thanks for replying. I have decided to buy a new psu, here in Brazil we have a XPG brand which is highly recommended, I'm going to buy a 850w, Idk if it's a known brand in America. My old PSU is around 5-6 years.
So I got an i5-8600k, 32gb ram, 2x 1tb hdd, 250gb ssd and a rtx 2060.
I had a 650w and it wasn't enough just upgraded to 1000w to make sure it was enough lol
Aint no kill like overkill
Honestly that’s how to do it. In my experience it’s well worth going overkill and wasting some power rather than have your system act up and risk component damage. Hell if I knew a 1600w would solve crashing problems I’d drop that money in a second
I have an 3060 tuf an i9 4x8gb ram water cooling but all my games keep lagging.. can this be because I only have a 400w power supply?
Really doesn't seem like enough but it wouldn't cause lagging
@@CoilWhine oh.. so do you know if you could help me ? cuz i just don’t understand ive got everything i need and while my friends get like 144fps in games with an much cheaper and worse gpu and cpu i just can’t reach 144 fps without drops
@@CoilWhine i tried a lot and asked a lot of people but no one can really help me
What are you trying to play at what resolution
@@CoilWhine minecraft valorant fortnite cod all kind of games tbh but it’s just no fun when everything lags, my gpu n cpu are at 30% max and my fps drop the whole time
People on reddit still be recommending a 1000+ W for a 3060 and an i5 lol.
I know right? Whenever I go check if my 750w power supply is enough I see extremely weird recommendations.
How do I test if my psu is failing, like every time I play a game it just randomly freezes then reboot, and in the event view I get. Error code 161
Doesn't seem like a bad psu, might be an unstable ram,cpu or gpu overclock
@@CoilWhine but every thing is stock i dont know how to over lock so i just left it, my ram i put it on the xmp file thats about it.
@@CaptNemo_ try turning the xpm down or off and see if it crashes
@@CoilWhine ayyy it turns out one of my ram is dying.
@@CaptNemo_ dying ram is spooky
I’ve got a rog rtx 2060 with a Ryzen 5 5600x and a 500w psu with 2x8 sticks (16GB) and 4 fans 5 counting the AMD fan should I get a better psu bc my case turns on without the gpu connected but does turn on without it connected to gpu I’m confused
Somethings wrong with that gpu (possible internal short) 500w should be enough
I learned today that my 850 W power supply isn’t enough for my system got an RTX 3080 AMD Ryzen seven 2700 X 32gb ram I guess it’s just too little for
Power supply might also be dieing, or your ram speed is unstable
It's plenty. Something else going on in ur system. My running same amount of ram but a 6900xt with a Ryzen 5 5600x3d. 6 case fans a AIO, HDD and 2 NVME, all off a 750w Gamdias Kratos PSU.
Bro, my PC is consist of core i5 11gen (11400) processor and mother board is Asus B560m plus with 16 gb ram. I have Cooler Master 550w 80+ bronze PSU. Can I use RTX 3060 with the 550w PSU on my PC?? Is it safe?? Please reply me.
sounds fine
I know this is an older video. But I wanted to put this here so maybe It might help someone in the future.
I have a system that draws 640w. I was using a 650w power supply. The system never powered down once or any BSOD or hardware events in event viewer. I just got very abnormal behavior, Such as corrupted data on the SSD repeatedly , drivers crashing, corrupted drivers, Instability, random freezes lasting a second or less, apps refusing to open, stuttering in games, internet dropping out, and random spikes of input lag, sometimes the mouse would also seem like the dpi had changed and would feel very fast and the next min feel slow. sometimes the keyboard would ignore inputs. I replaced every component until this thinking it couldn't be the power supply causing this because the pc never powered down like this and the voltage monitoring in hw info never showed the 12v dropping below 12v. It was the power supply.
Yup. I ran a 3080 and a 5800x (Max PBO, so 140w under full load) on a 650w.
It ran fine for a good year or two until I got random blue screens and odd behavior.
It's definitely one of those things that will work for a while, but not forever.
@@CoilWhine i was running a 9700k and 3070 strix 300w version and changed to a 12700k and z790 motherboard thinking it was just the cpu struggling. Same behavior. New power supply all issues gone. Motherboard had llc set to auto it dropped from 6 to 3. Cpu now requests less vcore dropped cpu temps 12 degrees. Got my 3070 to overclock to 2200mhz on the core. 8000 on memory. Im going overpowered power supply on every build in the future.
Hi, New subscriber here, Do you mind helping me, I have Ryzen 5 3600, Rx580 and using 700W 80+ bronze. I have 3 RGB fans and AIO twister ARGB 2 fans, But at first i use it smooth, After few days, My monitor keeps on turning off suddenly and needs to restart to open it, Not sure what is happening, Is it my Power supply? Please help. Btw i have 2 monitors
Both monitors shut off?
@@CoilWhine Yes. Both of them. The music on my Pc still on. But no display for both of them. Tried ko unplug and plug the monitors. But didnt work
Id try unclocking the gpu and setting a higher custom fan curve and see if the problem improves
@@CoilWhine you mean, Overclocking?
Come on. I been running a 2070 super with a ryzen 5 5600. Overclocked on a 450 watt evga power supply for a few years. Runs great. You don’t need 650 watts for a mid tier computer
I think I do. I have a Ryzen 5 5600X and an RTX 3060 and it crashed on me at 100% GPU usage. I have a 500W PSU
@@stygiannYup, same thing here! Used a fairly new quality 500w 80+ gold psu.
Rarely BSOD, more than sometimes crash to desktop!
People kept telling me "nO, it cAn't Be thE pSu!" - and they were WRONG.
Switched out the psu for a quality 750w one because I had enough of crashing and wanted to be double sure aaaaaand... It worked! No more crashes of any kind!
Im a bit worried and confused.
The calculators say i need around 650w
I got a 850w last month just to leave some upgrading room..
Got a new GPU today and on the case of the GPU i just bought they say the min requirements is 900w. 🤨😐
Well, the gpu vendors say that because they don't know if you're running a 65w 5600x or a 300000w i9 13900ks.
It really just depends on the cpu + gpu you're running, and if you're doing any overclocking or PBO with it.
I see you responding to a few folks here. Appreciate your input in advance.
Rocking a 750W Gold
Intel Core i9 12th Gen 12900KF 3.7GHz Processor;
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti 12GB GDDR6X;
32GB DDR4-3600 RAM;

Oof, it will work but might not be enough if you start turning up the juice. An 850 would probably be the least id go with that combination.
@@CoilWhine thanks brah
For those crashing but are hesitant on getting a new powersupply because you already have something in the middling range (500-600w), try decreasing your GPU's clock speed. My baka-ass AMD RX 5700 XT suddenly started crashing my entire rig for seemingly no reason. Updated, uninstalled, reupdated, and all that jazz. Basically zeroed in on the problem after unplugging and replugging my GPU, which ultimately was a tempt fix before it started crashing my PC again.
I ultimately found my solution in going to AMD Software > Performance > Tuning > Custom. Then edited my GPU tuning to decrease it's speed from 2000Mhz(which is honestly too much) to around 1740Mhz. The next to be edited is the fan speed, which you turn into a rather aggressive curve. She'll be noisy, but it works.
I've also seen post on chaging the PCIE plugs on the GPU from a Y-split to a two cable instead. I don't recall but I don't my power supply had a secpmd GPU plug, but the above settings solved my crashing.
Also, the 5700xt should be undervolted anyways.
i spilled coke on my pc, i can boot it up maybe play something but then ill get a green screen or it will crash. my friend said that it was my psu or gpu. any way i can test what one it is?
hear me out… 500 watt psu with ryzen 5 1600 af and an rtx 3060
Should be ok
thats what i like to hear!
Like and a follow just for the GME mention 🚀🚀🚀
First.
Have an rtx 3060ti a i5 12400 16gb ram 3 fans and a water cooler is that fine for 600 watts or i screwed up again.
I know its an old message but if someone will read it - yes its much more than enough. Also i5-12400 barely consuming any watts at all
Is 500 W enough for 3060 ti, 2 case fans, i5 11400f, noucta uh-u9s cpu cooler and m.2 1tb ssd and 16gb ddr4?
I would say go higher, I don’t know if it’s my power supply but I have a i5 10400f 3060ti, two case fans 16gb ram, and 2 1tb ssd and i been having my pc shut down a lot while gaming, I don’t know if it’s the card tho
@@sqtisfy hi there, I almost have the same rig as yours but I have 3070. Did you fix the problem that you’re having? As I have the same issue for months now.
@@User-sk5zf i havent but i have a few guesses now, i have the intel stock cooler, and this is happening to me less now that i removed the tempered glass side panel, i dont think its my card overheating tho, because when i tested it a few time ago, it was like at 60c when it shuts down, i haven't had the time to test if its the cpu cooler
@@sqtisfy I’m also using intel stock fans. In my case, whenever I played a game, I can hear my fans revving like a turbo jet, but temperature wise it is still within the normal range. It’s either a PSU or CPU issue I guess. This has happened to me months ago and I had to do a clean install of windows, after that it’s all fine but the problem starts to reappear again.
@@User-sk5zf i havent tried the clean install, im planning on changing my motherboard because my ubs ports died, i will try to upgrade my cpu and the cooler too, but yeah the same happens to me, the fans goes to the max and then i need to restart everything, it's only on certain games, thats why i think it may be the cpu
