Is my psu compatible with gtx 550 ti ?

Solution


no


550 ti requires at least 24 amps on the +12v rail


on top of it most likely lying about it's specs, and will not be able to actually deliver on it's claims

that power supply has weak ass split rails on top of it all

I would not trust it no, does it even have a 6-pin pcie cable?

cheapo makers often straight up LIE about the wattage the psu can actually deliver

with crap psu's like that, it can go up in smoke and take other components with it yes

I'm with maxalge. That PSU is low quality and doesn't meet the amperage for the 550Ti.

No, if you use poor PSU your components will not burn. The wires leading from the PSU to the GPU will burn. I've seen it before. Very stinky.

Yeah. If you want cheap than the CX series from Corsair can get the job done... I wouldn't recommend them for a top end build, but for the price they're decent.
