6500 MHz GPU with 530W PSU?

Panji- · Apr 1, 2017

I'm gonna buy a Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB that needs 6500 MHz and i don't know if my PSU(530W) will be good to hold this power.

depends on make and model of that power supply

just stating it's wattage doesnt tell us anything, because most crap psu's lie about it

That power supply is absolute junk, it only has 350w off both 12vrails, and i have never seen the brand in my life.

What brand do you recommend?

bishopi5 · Apr 1, 2017

anything thats bronze(80+) or higher, stay away from corsair unless you get gold(100+) as there are some dodgy models

Is CoolerMaster a good choice? Like "CoolerMaster V-Series".

Yes, well known brand

for a 1060 you want a tier 1 or 2 model in 450w or better
