Can My PSU Run A 980ti along with My CPU

[Alpha741]

I would like to know if a Corsair 600m power supply could run a 980ti, a corsair h90 liquid cooler, and my AMD 6350? 

[The Official Czex]

Nooooooo!

 

1. Bottleneck alert!

 

2. CX PSU' s are baaaaaaad! Especially in such a rig as yours.

[MLG Doge]

Forget the PSU, why do you want a 980 Ti with a poor little 6350?

 

if you need a performance increase, up your CPU (move across to Haswell or Skylake)

[Smooth Bunz]

I do think a 600w min for the 980ti I may be wrong on that but I would say get a 750w just to be safe

[AresKrieger]

AMD 6350????

This^ you'll have bottleneck like crazy, also a 980ti with a CX, that seems like a horrible idea

Those PSUs are not made for gaming. Those are used for basic builds.

Your comment pretty much sums up why i am not that active on the forums anymore.

 

1. There will definiteley be a bottleneck with the FX 6350, but why should this stop OP from buying the card? He can (and should) upgrade his Motherboard/CPU down the road.

 

2. CX PSU's are made for bang for the buck but they are not chinese firecrackers in a box. It will do jsut fine with a 980 Ti.

People act like if there is a bottleneck you can't use your pc.

Why would he buy crap for 50 bucks when he could buy a good one for 50 bucks? Also they have a positive resistance feedback, aka if they get hot the resistance increases causing the temperature to increase causing the resistance to increase...... do you see the problem with that, I'll admit they are not the worst but they are still bad if you need a lot of current

I would not let that CX PSU anywhere near that 980 Ti. And the bottleneck can be resolved in the future, I just wanted to vent my opinion on it. 

[Arwanell]

cx will work, 600w is enough, but it's far from a good PSU for you build

You didn't link to any particular power supply.

Whoops, why did it do that???

 

I fixed it and posted it here as well

Probably because you searched for one and then you linked the main page because you expected the results to be reflected in the URL but they sadly weren't?

An increasing resistance with increasing temperature is a physical law that even expensive PSUs have to obey. It's because the atoms of the metal-grid vibrate stronger at higher temepratures (entropy and temperature correlate according to the Gibbs' enthalpy) and this causes electrons to collide more likeley with the cores, restricting electron flow. At least that's the easy explanation. So as you see this is a material dependend propeerty, not PSu dependend.

 

The Corsair CX PSus might put out more heat since they are just 80+ Bronze, but still, they are 80+ bronze, not 80-china.

Don't try to talk over my head with electronics or physics that won't work (i'm aware of the properties of resistance), what I meant is that once it gets hot your screwed as it's heat tolerance is terrible, thus causing the feedback loop, aka a good psu will not experience this issue to the degree a cx will, due to CXs having very thin of wires thus not allowing for good current flow.

 

In short don't recommend CX as they are not the worst but there are better options for around the same price

I would never recommend CX PSUs myself, because there are truly better options on the market for the price, but OP already has the PSU. It would be an unnecessary investment for him to change PSUs, just because its not the ideal one.

He never said he had it yet, and I didn't assume he did, would it work yes, would it be a good idea to do forever no.

While he can buy the 980ti he won't experience really any gains from actually having it in his system as long as he currently has around a ~380 / 960. Now if he has the budget to upgrade his CPU / Motherboard in the near future then by all means pull the trigger on the 980ti and just deal with no real performance gain if he has one of the above mentioned graphics cards for a bit.

 

However if he is just looking to upgrade his PC and that is a long term budget of not being able to upgrade for a year or more again after this. Then I would strongly recommend a new CPU + GPU if he has the left over budget for a new GPU. Because this will lead to much more tangible performance increases from his PC that he can live with until his next upgrade much later down the road. 

 

it really depends on how often the OP is looking to upgrade / spend money on his PC and what kind of performance gains he is looking for from this upgrade. (along with what the rest of his current system specs are).

cx will work, 600w is enough, but it's far from a good PSU for you build

Okay, for the people bashing on Corsair, saying their CX600M is shjt, can you please provide a SOURCE for your claims?

 

Because I actually went looking for a review, and what I found tells me the CX600M has excellent numbers. Ignoring the price (and competitor offerings), this is FAR from being bad. Might not be the best PSU ever, but it is still a very solid one.

1. A guys says it's bad, so ti must be, right? No testing needed, if it says "it's bad", then IT IS, PERIOD.
2. Didn't even bother, same as above.
3. Didn't even bother, same as above (again).
4. Didn't even bother, same as above [again (one more time)].
5. ....

Are you stupid? Provide TESTS, not just people saying it is bad or not.

I can't handle heat caused by high current use, which will occur if a 980ti is running a game. The other numbers are fine, minus the build quality.

 

"CWT really had an off day on this one, didn't they? The whole point for soldering comes off today, for some dreadful work to a level I don't usually see from them. Another point comes off for that big flake of whatever the heck it was on the PCB. Another point for sleeve bearings in the fan. Half a point comes off for second tier capacitors. Finally, half a point for the damaged wires. 6."

Keep in mind this was on the 750W variant, the heat issue is present on all of them, the only non crap one is the 850W but that one never comes up due to it's price being crap

I'm not talking about the 750w version. I'm talking about the CX600m specifically.

 

Just because the series is the same, doesn't mean the quality matches (ex: Gtx 970-980 Vram).
