Can a 600w thermaltake psu handle 980ti

karim abbas · Feb 17, 2016

hello I have a 600w thermaltake psu and i would like to know if it can handle a gtx 980 ti
i have 2 hard drive and 2 optical drives installed
will it cause a problem or damage the graphic card ?

Hello... 250 TDP GPU... you need 21amp @12vdc PCIe power output from it... got a website for me to look at the PS specs?

Most Thermaltake power supplies are not great quality. Using one with a very expensive video card could be a bad idea. You need to list the exact model you are talking about and how long it's been in use.

Agree, exact model is required. Wattage on it's own is meaningless. The PSU in a gaming build spends long periods of time under high loads, you want a high quality and stable PSU.

Recommend any psu to upgrade to?

I ve been using the power supply for 2 weeks with my new 980 ti and now im seeing some artifact and system crashes. Did it damage my gpu or was the gpu faulty ? Noting that i re installed my old gtx 760 and didnt see any porblems

Have enough budget?

Try CoolerMaster 1000w

You won't regret it.

You forgot to mention what cpu you're using. The CPU consumes too much power as well, however, a 600W might not be enough regardless the cpu you have and if it could handle a gtx 980 ti you would be limited in terms of upgrades.

I recommend a 700W power supply for the system you have, going for a poor PSU is not a good idea

Hello... http://www.thermaltake.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_00001775
High temp to GPU, high clock rates, and Power starve are causes for artifacting... your CPU will require 7 amps.
Output +12V1 is rated 25 amps... try that one. But your PS is really a 500 watt PS and The PCIe Output may not be up to the task for your Fine card, Graphic settings and EYE Candy B )

How are you hooking the Video card up with connectors needed and Power outputs?
