will my power supply do the trick?

Phil Abrogar · Jun 13, 2014

I'm planning on getting a r9 290 tri x, will a Aerocool 600w Modular do the trick?

Onus · Jun 13, 2014

Considering that Aerocool appears here: http://www.johnnylucky.org/power-supplies/psu-lemon-list.html (possibly the very model you have), I'd say not.

No, get a 600W+ PSU from XFX, Seasonic, or Corsair (TX, HX, and AX series only).

Well, it won't sit up and beg, and if you are referring to the SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X R9 280X 3GB GDDR5 TRI-X STD WITH BOOST, then the specifications for that puppy says you need a 750W power supply.

will a Corsair cx750w do?

Eduello · Jun 14, 2014

Phil Abrogar :

I wouldn't recommend it; It uses bad capacitors that are known for early failure and heat issues. What is your budget and where do you want to buy from?

Vic 40 · Jun 14, 2014

With what other components are you using that aerocool? Do you already have it?

What is your budget and where (a site->link) are you looking?

Phil Abrogar · Jun 15, 2014

My budget's only at a 100$. what would you recommend if I'd just get a gtx770 trifan?

Eduello · Jun 15, 2014

You can stick with the r9 290 tri x, just get a quality PSU like this one: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1650snlb9
