Question about I3-6100 and old Codegen 450W PSU

lubjakas · Nov 13, 2016

So my question is, will Codegen 450W PSU handle I3-6100 3.7GHZ, MSI GTX 750 Ti 2GB Low profile, 8GB 1333 RAM?

Thanks, waiting!

I would not use that PSU it's a very low quality unit and posses a danger to the other components in the system.

That PSU is horrid.

Get a quality unit. Even a good 300W will be more than sufficient for an i3 and GTX 750 Ti.

Can you give me some advice what PSU to buy? I have a very low budget.

lubjakas · Nov 13, 2016

I was thinking about LEPA MX-F1 500W ATX N500-SB-EU. That's around 30-40€ here in Estonia. Is it good enough?

damric · Nov 13, 2016

The Rosewill ARC has been my go-to PSU for customers with low budgets. The newly updated Corsair CXMs are very good, but slightly more. Just don't get the older 30C rated Corsairs.

Is CORSAIR VS450 PSU 450W good and is it compatible with micro-ATX PC case?

damric · Nov 13, 2016

The VS is outdated. I would not purchase one as it is not fully compatible with the new Intel low power states.

lubjakas · Nov 13, 2016

Okay, so what about LEPA MX-F1 W500?

Is it compatible with micro-ATX case?

lubjakas :

Not good. Not Haswell/Skylake compliant. Very outdated and inefficient PSU platform.

lubjakas :

1333 RAM? Sounds like you're trying to pair DDR3 memory with a Skylake CPU and mobo which need DDR4 memory. And if this is a new computer build you should probably just tweak the entire build so you can afford a decent PSU. You could probably get a better GPU than the 750Ti now for the same price like the RX 460.

So I need a PSU for micro-ATX pc case. I couldnt find any Rosewill ARC PSUs, what are the other choices?

turkey3_scratch · Nov 13, 2016

lubjakas :

Your country? Your shops you buy from? Your budget? Also, did you see my post above, because your computer won't work unless you listen to what I say about the RAM.

damric · Nov 13, 2016

I have had DDR3 on my Skylake testing bench all year without a problem. It seems to have at least as strong of an IMC as Haswell.

damric :

True I forgot about those boards with DDR3. But seeing as the vast majority support DDR4 I just don't want him to make that mistake. And no reason to get a DDR3 board unless you have old RAM you insist on reusing.

lubjakas · Nov 14, 2016

I'm planning to buy 8Gb new ram, so I should go with DDR4 not DDR3?

turkey3_scratch · Nov 14, 2016

lubjakas :

Well you need a DDR4 motherboard. All you need is for the motherboard to be compatible with the RAM.

lubjakas · Nov 14, 2016

Okay, thanks for helping me out
