Is 430w enough for an i5 4690k and 750ti?

gorebs · Aug 25, 2014

I don't plan on over clocking any time soon. I have a high quality 430w psu right now. Here's to hoping I can save some money!

Should be okay, a 500w would be more safe

You are cutting it close.

Agreed with Legend001523, I use lots of Corsair 430W units in my workstations but typically I dont like to put less then 500W in anything with a decent graphics card.

Cutting it close? You'll be running around 300w most likely...

jimthenagual · Aug 25, 2014

edit: 430W is plenty. A system with that card draws less than 200W at full load.

gorebs · Aug 25, 2014

Yeah. The particular one I have doesn't use a connector. It draws power from the mobo. I'm not very knowledgable about power supplies.

I think you mean the full system load. The 750 ti itself only pulls 76W.

The 750ti with no additional power connector will pull @63w, a 4690k stock system @200w. You could OC to @4.3 and still be ok, but higher than that is pushing it. CX are not what I'd consider quality units, mediocre would be a better description.

Thank you. Yes, I mean full system load. Edited my post for clarification.

more than enough… just make sure you get a quality unit. if your looking at the "builder" series, you would be better off just getting the antec vp450 since it is a much higher quality build in a lower wattage.
