power supply issue

Vergille Hell · Oct 21, 2014

I recently bought Asus radeon r9 280 and in its Recommmended system requirements it says:

Minimum 750W system power supply (with a minimum 12v current rating of 24A)

I have 730W smart SE (87% efficiency) Thermaltake == is it enough? help!

That will be fine. There's no way it's going to draw all that power

I mean it's enough....keep in mind your PSU is in tier 4 which is close to paper weight status. It's made with a bunch of cheap internals.

It is enough but a 750W is playing it safe. Your choice.

playing it safe? are there any risks involved?

A quality 550W PSU would be enough for a R9-290X in a non-OC Intel build.

Thing is, you do have a low quality power supply. If you don't mind buying a new PSU, get one from Tier 2 or Tier 1. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html

No risks involved as such

no no -- those are too expensive -- i don't have enough money for it now

. I am not over clocking or anything . I am guessing it's enough for now?
