Gts 450 power

[Fraser_1]

Where is the 6 pin connector? cant seem to find it for the gts 450

 

[Eximo]

Right there on the back, left in the picture. The black box with the right angle pins coming out of it.

If you are talking about you not having a 6-pin PCIe connector, then the power supply is likely not enough to run a 100W GPU.

 

[bignastyid]

PSU doesn't have one. Even if it did I would want to power that card with such a weak PSU. It only has a 20a 12v rail(240w) which is very very poor for a PSU advertising itself as a 500w PSU.

any higher wattage?

I didn't really see any need for a higher wattage unit. A good 450w psu is easily enough for any socket 1151 cpu on a b150 board and a gpu that only requires a 6-pin power connector. Even if you had an i7 and a GPU that would all it's available power from the pci-e slot and 6-pin connector that system will still be only be ~300w of max combined power usage.

what if i want to upgrade graphics card in future?

what if i want to upgrade graphics card in future?

Those 450w PSUs would be good for a GTX 1060, RX480 or even a GTX 1070 and the 550w Superflower will easily power a GTX 1070 or 1080.

how bout gtx 980?

 

[bignastyid]

450w would probably do it but would rather have 550w for that one, especially if it's an overclocked model.

Can you recommend a 550W and a modular?

does it have PCI - E 6 pin connectors?

Yes
The corsair has 2 6+2 pin pci-e connectors
The EVGA GS has 4 6+2 pin connectors
The G2 has 2 6+2 and 1 6-pin
6+2 pin connectors work in 6-pin and 8-pin ports.

Would a PCI - E 6 pin adapter work on my current PSU?

 

[bignastyid]

An adapter exists but would be a bad idea with the quality of that psu you'd be gambling with the health of the system and creating a possible fire hazard to boot.

 

[Fraser_1]

my old psu was worse but it still worked

 

[bignastyid]

I wouldn't do it with my money and hardware seen too many junk psus wipeout other hardware. The reason for buying a quality built psu is not a lesson you want to learn the hard way as I and many others have. But ultimately its your decision if you want to risk it.

out of the 3 you linked, which one would you chose?

 

[bignastyid]

The G2 would likely be my personal choice of the 3. Scored a 10 out of 10 from jonnyguru.
