HP 300w PSU with Zotac GTX 650??

RaDiz · Jan 5, 2017

As shown in the picture, this PSU won't provide more than 260w at 50 Celsius. So I'm a little bit worry about the new gpu that I am going to get one, the Zotac GTX 650 Thunder Edition.

But from what I've researched, this GPU doesn't require additional power and there's no 6-pin connect on this gpu.

And another problem is that I'm not sure whether my PSU will be RELIABLE or not since it only said " Standard Efficiency ".

So what do you guys think? Will it be able to handle my new GPU??

Thanks in Advance!

PS. The reason I go for GTX 650 is that my Very Old Mainboard from Pre-Built HP which is BIOS Legacy DOESN'T support UEFI GPU.

A 550w or greater psu is recommended.
Still i dont belive it will cause any trouble to do with that pu considering it dosent actually draw power from the psu... so go ahead. Its not optimal but it will work

^^^ Wrong.
Everything gets power from the PSU.
Depending on all of your other components, it might work.
My build, listed in my signature, uses a 300W PSU. It's been working for a year.

Hey man,

You can use this link as reference to see if it'll support your new GPU or not.
http://www.coolermaster.com/power-supply-calculator/

Since GPU doesn't have any additional power connectors it means power consumption is 75W max since PCI-E port delivers that amount to the card.
When you calculate approx. how much power your configuration drains you need at leas 1/3rd more power to be in "safe zone".

If you are not sure how to do it, post here your detailed hardware specs. and I will help you.
Peace!

No laki you are wrong at max besides it i true that does also draw power from the pau it first draws the power from the mobo... so this means the own graphic card will not draw more than 70w.

My PC Specs. are:
CPU A6-3620 2.2GHz (No overclocking)
Ram 1 x 4 GB DDR3
1 HDD (1 TB)
1 Case fan

According to this specs at 100% load of CPU you can expect 178W of power consumption.
Cooler Master calculator recommends 228W Power Supply Unit (PSU).

Since you have 300W you are good to go.

Peace!

And the new gtx 650 that I'm going to buy one very soon.

Btw. Do you have any ideas about my psu? Is it reliable or not?

cyber-what · Jan 5, 2017

It is reliable, don't worry. If you are suspicious you can always add UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) to your PC.

You can buy that GTX650 and enjoy.

Peace!

And a UPS will cost more than a new PSU.
