I m planning to build my pc tell me which psu is good for
Processor ;amd fx 8350
Motherboard: m5a78l m usb3

Will depend on what graphics card you plan on using with the system.

Just a fyi, that motherboard is a poor choice for that cpu.
Without VRM cooling you are going to run into bad temperature problems with that board.
I suggest getting something like this at the very least:

Your looking in the 500w-800w range depending what/how many GPU's your going to add.
Corsair, XFX, Be Quiet, Antec all good brands.

Actually Right now i m not planning to add any gpu but suggest me
some psu which supports later gpu add on

But later atmost i add only one gpu

ShadyHamster :

Oh god but actually i bought that motherboard because i fall into that budget only
so is there any techniques to prevent above said problems... :heink:

Corsair CS750M, RM series are great PSU's.

ShadyHamster · Feb 27, 2014

What are you planing to do with this PC?

May i suggest going with an APU instead.

As i said before the FX8350 and that board is a terrible combo.

Usaually I record Game Videos And Do Mostly Video Conversions

And use Video Dev tools Such as 3dmax Pinnacle Studio...etc

CAUTION:

The FX 8350 is NOT on the supported CPU list for that board. The 95w FX 8300 is, but the 8350 is a 125w+ CPU. Every CPU on the list that IS supported is 95w or less. And their Specs page says "Supports CPU up to 95 W".

The FX 6300 is actually a good alternative to the 8350. It is a 95w 6 core CPU and will still perform well for most games and apps.

If you are comitted to using an FX 8350, then you need a different board, preferably one with a 990FX chipset and good VRU/VRM.

If you have already purchased both the board and CPU, the safest course of action is to down-clock the CPU or disable turbo core or disable one of the core pair modules on the CPU (* not supported in some BIOS) to drop it to 6 cores. It will work like a 6 core and draw less power until you can replace your board. If you cannot disable the cores in the BIOS, there *may* be a way to tell Windows not to use all the cores but keep 2 of them parked, but I cannot remember where I read this.

But that Board Support Cpu upto 140 W

Official website tells it

Right Now Pc Temp Anything bad ???

benchmarker :

So do you already have a GPU to use?

Vnxc · Feb 27, 2014

benchmarker :

Everything here looks good.
EDIT: At Idle

ShadyHamster · Feb 27, 2014

Vnxc :

I'm going to assume they are idle temps though, under load will be much different, and i guarantee you will be hit with thermal throttling very quickly with that board if you run the cpu at 100% usage.

Edit: just noticed the cpu usage lol.

benchmarker · Feb 27, 2014

Bill Reinhardt :

Yeah I have a basic gpu

Yep You Are right I m going to put cpu to 100% and check it ..

benchmarker · Feb 27, 2014

cpu 100% Resulted in Power Surge

This is my Psu [Ancient one i think] :??:

Vnxc · Feb 27, 2014

Could be either to old or to in-efficient.
Have you checked that its pumping out the correct voltages?

benchmarker · Feb 27, 2014

Vnxc :

How to check???

Vnxc :

Looks Kinda of Very tricky process
But my basic question is does the above specified processor and motherboard good enough for this psu(400wats)
Or need change Of Psu to overcome Powersurge Problem because its great Headache whenever i load cpu it get turned off due to power surge

whats is good psu for amd fx 8350 with m5a78l m usb3
