Will A Corsair vs450 45w psu be sufficient for the following config.? intel core i5 4670 asrock z87 extreme4 asus nvidia gt

Solution


Only the VP550P V2 model. The original VP550P model is not Haswell Compatible.

VP550P <=== Not Haswell Compatible
+12V1, +12V2 max. load: 540W

VP550P V2 <=== Confirmed Haswell Compatible
+12V1, +12V2 max. load: 444W

Make sure you get the correct one.


Corsair VS Series PSUs are not Intel Haswell compatible.

All of the Corsair CX Series models except for the CX750 and CX750M are also not Intel Haswell compatible.

What is the brand and model of the graphics card?
 


What is an "asus nvidia gt"? Is it a GeForce GT 645 (OEM), GeForce GT 640 (Retail), GeForce GT 640 (OEM) with 128-bit GDDR5, GeForce GT 640 (OEM) 192-bit DDR3, GeForce GT 640 (OEM) with 128-bit DDR3, GeForce GT 630 (Retail), GeForce GT 630 (OEM), GeForce GT 620 (Retail), GeForce GT 620 (OEM), GeForce GT 610 (Retail), GeForce 605 (OEM), GeForce GT 520, GeForce 510 (OEM), ..., etc.

What PSU brands and models do you have available for purchase? Do you have a link to an online vendor that you deal with?

Its an asus nvidia gtx 660 direct cu II (not ti and not OEM)
I am also adding a 120 mm cabinet fan (Deepcool XFAN120)
I checked the haswell compatible psu list and i'm going with the Cooler Master Thunder 500W (I'm on a budget)
Also will my given config work?
As in are all the parts compatible?
 
Cooler Master does not test the PSU according to Intel's test procedures so I put no faith whatsoever in their published list of Haswell-Ready PSUs.

They have been known to put liar labels on some of their PSUs so they can't be trusted.

The major reason why I won't recommend the Cooler Master Thunder 500W is because its +12V rail will drop below the minimum +11.4V allowed by the ATX12V Power Supply Design Guide Specifications.

Case cooling fans are not high power consumption components.

Two 80mm fans would only add 4 to 5 Watts if using conventional fans. If using high performance fans then 16 Watts more.
 


There's no way to tell if it's the V2 model from the information they posted. There's no picture of the label on the power supply unit.

I will have to assume that it is the original non-Haswell compatible model.

Contact the seller and ask.
