Asus STRiX RX470 and Corsair VS550 PSU

GamingAddicted · Apr 18, 2017

Just got a new gpu from Asus. The STRiX RX470 one. I thought my PSU would be enough for it even if its a bad brand. ( Inter Tech or something ) Its a 400W PSU with no PCI-E connectors, so i have to use an adapter for it to supply the needed power to the card. After i installed the gpu, got the drivers installed, and went to GTA V, the PSU started buzzing and after a while shut itself off and turned back on with a message 'Asus Anti-Surge was triggered due to instable power supply unit.' or something like that. After going on some web stores that offer computer parts, i found a Corsair VS550 PSU for 50 ish Euros, it has a 6-pin connector, but will it be enough to power my computer ?

Parts list:

Mobo: Asus H110M-K

CPU: Intel i3-6100

GPU: Asus STRiX RX470 OC

Hard drives dont really draw too much power, but Seagate 1Tb drive ( Dont remember the model )

Never use an adapter with a psu.

Technically, the Corsair VS550 would work, but it is not a very good psu as far as reliability goes. I would certainly get something better or you'll find yourself having to upgrade again sooner than later.

If looking for Corsair, go for CXM 450 or 550 (450 should be enough).

How about a VS650 ? Its 10 Euros more here.

But looking from another side, atleast its better than some 'cheapo'.

Surely there is a better option than a VS Corsair. I would not buy a VS. They are simply not very reliable.

Can you provide a link where you are going to be buying from or at least give your country? Maybe I can help you find something better.

forget the wattage, forget the names bronze gold platinum.

its about build quality and voltage stability.

get the xfx ts (gold) 550w/ corsair cx550m (bronze).
seasonic g series/ evga supernova gs/g2/g3 if you have got the money

Latvia, found it in 1a.lv.

@superninja12 yeah, but the problem is that i wont be getting it myself, my brother is going to buy it for me, and his budget for me is only 50ish Euros. Maybe i can ask him to buy something else for the 50 euros and try to get that PSU myself. Maybe a 120gb ssd or something, as an OS Drive.

OP, buy that one ^^ but tell your brother you will pay him back.

GamingAddicted · Apr 19, 2017

I dont really know, i can maybe ask him to buy a cheap ssd or something for those 50 Euros and save up like 80 Euros for a psu

GamingAddicted · Apr 19, 2017

I can get a CX750 for 96 Euros there if i do what i said above. I dont know, but that may be able to run 2 of these cards, cause i actually wanted to buy another one later on and crossfire them.

For 2 of rx 470, 650 W will be enough
