Is my psu enough for gigabyte gtx 980 g1 gaming

go4a.n · Feb 4, 2018

I want to buy a gigabyte 980 g1 gaming and I don't know if my psu is enough with 550w

DRagor · Feb 4, 2018

Depends on what model and brand of PSU it is, and what other components you have.

go4a.n · Feb 4, 2018

Opss sorry for answer down I'm new and I can't where to reply anyway my psu is some Chinese cpu i7-870 ram corsair 4x2 1.5V I don't remember the motherboard

DRagor · Feb 4, 2018

Well, 'some Chinese' that's not telling much. Does it at least have two 8-pin (or 6+2-pin) plugs? Can you drop a PSU label picture?

go4a.n · Feb 4, 2018

No it has only one 6, but I've bought cable 6 to 2 6+2 pins and right now I can't do a picture because I'm on a ski trip

If it has only one 6-pin cable, than I can assure you it will not be able to power gtx 980. And even if it does, it will do so for not long time and then blow up.

go4a.n :

That is a disaster waiting to happen - melted connectors, plus a PSU with no protections will result in a mess. If you can afford a GTX 980 you can surely spend something like $60-70 for a decent PSU.

Can offer me the cheapest suitable psu?

DRagor · Feb 4, 2018

go4a.n :

'Cheapest' depends on where you buy, as prices can be affected locally quite a lot.

Europe Bulgaria

Is segotep sg-d600 good enough?

DRagor · Feb 4, 2018

The availability of good units is somewhat limited from what I can see, but this one will not fail you: http://nikem-bg.net/computer-components/Seasonic-FOCUS-Plus-SSR-550FX-GOLD/

go4a.n · Feb 4, 2018

Will it be enough for the gigabyte g1 gaming?

DRagor · Feb 4, 2018

Absolutely.

go4a.n · Feb 4, 2018

Ok thanks!!!

go4a.n · Feb 4, 2018

Is this also good https://www.bequiet.com/en/powersupply/667
Because I have found it on a better price

DRagor · Feb 4, 2018

go4a.n :

I would not consider this safe choice. It might not be powerful enough, and quality is rather mediocre.

go4a.n · Feb 4, 2018

How?The one you considered to me 550w this one is 600w?

DRagor · Feb 4, 2018

Wattage is not all that matters - quality is more important. Plus that be quiet unit is a bit overrated - it's total wattage is 600 W, but 12V line load, that matters much more, is only around 550 W. Although it's not that awful as you can find - there are units marketed as 600 W that can actually do no more then 300 W.

go4a.n · Feb 4, 2018

Is focus plus platinum better I found like 5 dollars more second hand

DRagor · Feb 4, 2018

go4a.n :

It would be very good deal IF you can get original receipt with it - those units have 12 years warranty, but you can't claim it without receipt.

go4a.n · Feb 4, 2018

It has warranty to 2027 year

DRagor · Feb 4, 2018

go4a.n :

Then it's worth.

go4a.n · Feb 4, 2018

Am I going to have bottleneck with cpu?

DRagor · Feb 4, 2018

Depends on resolution, but I'd say a bit for sure.
