Will my psu be enough?

Rohan Fernandes · Sep 19, 2014

I have a i5 4670 (non k series) , and i am looking to buy a graphic card for gaming which is a zotac nvidia GTX 750, Will my 450 watts PSU enough for graphic card and processor of mine?Or do i have to buy a new one?

yeah the psu will be fine, what make is it?

Novuake · Sep 19, 2014

Not all power supplies are made equal, just because it SAYS its 450w, does not mean it IS 450w.

What EXACT PSU make and model is it?
If you do not know, take a picture of the sticker on the side and post it here.

The PSU only produces 264w of usable wattage on the 12v rail.

While that seems like it enough, that PSU is EXTREMELY bad and I would avoid it like the plague.

WOW cause i just got that PSU,thought it would be good , its been like literally 2 weeks .
How much power does i5 4670 need?

Rohan Fernandes :

Can you return it? I would.

Novuake :

Dont think the guy takes returns and stuff but will try.

Rohan Fernandes · Sep 19, 2014

On what basis is a PSU selected? Cause i really thought this one was good . And this PSU doesn't give anthing near 450W?

Novuake · Sep 19, 2014

Rohan Fernandes :

Not much, 84w at most.

Like I said, 284w is ENOUGH, but that is IF you believe the sticker, considering that the PSU is marketed as a 450w, how can you believe anything relating to the PSU without opening it up and testing it.

For future reference, here is a tiered PSU list.
When getting a new PSU, stick to tier 1 and tier 2a/b for all PSU purchases.
If they do not appear on the list or any reviews online, assume the PSU is junk.

Graphic card says it need 400w? does it really need that much or its something i am missing?

This is TOTAL system power consumption of a system with a GTX750 and Intel Core i7-4960X .
