Edit: Well guys, it seems i was wrong while looking for >700w psu's, my computer doesn't need such power nor will take advantage of having too much wattage, what i need is 500w or 600w tops nothing more, you can read all the fuss in case you are like me, someone who wants to buy overkill psu's to power up potato pc lol. Hello there, few weeks ago i made a topic asking for help to choose some cheap reliable psu, the EVGA 600 GD (2019) was the winner but the store where i get my stuff run out of 600w version ? so the only ones i have left to choose from were Cooler Master MWE 650 80 bronze and Gigabyte B700H 80 bronze as well BUT... I was thinking "cmon man, you can get something better..." so i was checking and i can get the next PSU's: Corsair 750w TX750M 80 Gold, semi-modular - part number/id: CP-9020131-NA (Tier A) Corsair 750w RM750 80 Gold, fully modular - part number/id: CP-9020195-NA (Tier A) EVGA 650w 650 GQ 80 Gold, semi modular - part number/id: 210-GQ-0650-V1 (Tier B) EVGA 700w 700 GD 80 Gold, not modular - part number/id: 100-GD-0700-V1 (Tier B) Each one have very good reviews at newegg, amazon and random websites, i'd say RM750 looks like the best choice but there's no way my potato can take advantage of 700w, according to psu calculator sites and LTT users like GoldenLag and rares495 my potato should be fine with any good 500w psu (Ryzen 1300x, 2x 8gb ddr4 ram, GTX 1650 Super, 1 HDD 1TB, 1 SSD 500gb, dvd-rw drive, hyper 212 evo cooler, 2x 120mm fans with rgb, front usb 3.0 panel) but i could always add more fans, rgb and gonna upgrade potato CPU in few months also can't find good psu's below 700w nothing beyond bronze or refurbished and good price, so what do you think? ps: hmm it seems RM750 has two versions, one very old from 2013 or something with RM colored yellow and 2019 version with all letters colored white & grey. BTW im very sorry if im breaking any rules by making a 2nd topic wiht almost the same subject, 1s one was about cheap reliable psu's.

dremel/drill and/or linesman/nose pliers

imo any 2nd hand gtx750ti or 1050ti lol but don't listen to me i'm a newbie, nvidia works good with blender u can use the cuda cores option for fast gpu rendering.

EVGA 600 GD out of stock, now i have to choose between 700 GD, CM MWE 600w or Gigabyte B700H, you told me MWE 600w was the plan B that's cool but over 700 GD? damn this sucks lol

All right, i'll check gtx 1650 s availability, one day you can see a good deal with huge stock then next day price goes up for 10-30 dollars and no units available, that's mexico. Rog Strix ver is the choice, if can't find it next week imma get any other ver, i know im making a big deal bout low tier gpu but as i said, im paying $220 (there's no better price here believe me) plus new PSU.

ohhh no, not the 1660 i wish lol, can't afford such thing here in mexico, well yeah i could but damn, what's the price in USA for 1660 super? 240 us? well here i have to pay 280-300 ikr that sucks. plus gotta change my old psu.

Awesome, i'll get the strix Only problem is the connectors, my old Benq secondary monitors gonna be useless since both dont have any HDMI just vga and dvi-d, my main monitor is OK it has hdmi. What about those cheap "dvi to hdmi" adapters/converter? do you think that could work to keep my 2nd monitors?

Greetings! ? I have this old 2013 "Revolt" ibuypower i-series 504 desktop computer that randomly with no apparent reason whatsoever goes nuts and loses video signal, it can take 30 minutes, one hour, sometimes 2 hours or just 5 minutes and then poof, bye bye video signal, screen goes black and different monitors say "there's no signal srry m8" jk I've tried with 3 different monitors, cables and connectors (DVI-D, VGA, HDMI) and nope, nothing, removed the HD7700 radeon card and it's been working for more than 5 hours with no problems so it's the HD 7770 huh? well maybe, because the PSU is just a tiny, skinny 17a on 12v and it says total output shouldn't exceed 250w lmao sure maybe this potato doesn't need moar power but damn this thing is so small and thin, anyway i put in back the HD 7700 and the computer looks good so far no video signal lost yet so im totally lost here, maybe it was some driver malfunction or windows power settings (sleep, hybernation, idk) btw this my friends potato not mine, the "display signal issue" happened very quickly there at my friend house so ... maybe his cables or room electric wiring, sockets, nobreak voltage regulator are defective??

The online store where i get my stuff from doesn't have EVGA, MSI or anyother GTX1650 Super, just Asus and Gigabyte, btw what do you think about that one? the gigabyte in the last picture. All the asus (and the gigabyte) cards have pretty much the same price, about $200-210 us dollars (yeah, thats what mexicans like myself must pay for low tier hardware) Local stores sell GTX1650 Super for $250-260 US. So Phoenix series are OK, the TUF could be noisy and less efficient due small/compact design (higher temp i guess) and Strix is meh, i can buy any coz the price difference is about 2-3 dollars, that's why im so confused ???

Greetings! ? I was wondering if there's a real, significant difference between the next 3 gpu's all of them GTX 1650 Super by Asus, the TUF version has slightly more "boost clock" but that's it, can't find any other difference besides the obvious like the appearence, size, fans, connectors and Phoenix ver doesn't have backplate, Rog Strix version has some little RBG in the "republic of gamers" logo, i'm asking coz maybe one model runs hotter, noisy, have malfunctions or something undesirable. I'm going to get one very soon and so far TUF is my choice, i know RX580 is cheaper and better value card but which GTX 1650 super would you pick from the next list? ps: i'll check rx580 and 5500 XT anyway, ty. - ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER OC Edition 4GB GDDR6 https://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/TUF-GTX1650S-O4G-GAMING/ - ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER Advanced Edition 4GB GDDR6 https://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/ROG-STRIX-GTX1650S-A4G-GAMING/ - ASUS Phoenix GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER OC Edition 4GB GDDR6 https://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/PH-GTX1650S-O4G/overview/ https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N165SWF2OC-4GD#kf I like the gigabyte design.

i just took apart an old "Revolt ibuypower 504" computer and found some tiny green firefly inside, obviously poor thing was dead already but the thing that gave me the creeps was this weird amber, yellowish round thing near the gpu like some decomposed candy or something, this computer has never been opened before and it has layers and moar layers of aluminium plates so i wonder how the !"#!#$@ that thing show up there, i bet it was some bug egg sac or something nasty.??

I was going to ask about why i shouldn't go higher besides fact i won't take advantage from the extra wattage, like does it explode or malfunction or anything bad could happen for having such potato running with 600-700w psu? Anyway i'll get the evga 600gd that one is cheap, actually all the psu's above are about teh same price but if for any reason 600GD runs out of stock what do you think bout Cooler Master 600w MWE 80 bronce or Gigabyte 700w B700H? excuse the engrish tyvm

Hello there! greetings from tacoland ? I have few options to replace my 7y old Antec 520w HCG high current gamer psu, it still works with no problems whatsoever but ... this psu is very old, ima get gtx 1650 super or anything with 6pin connector then a better CPU in the next months so i don't wanna push it any further with more hardware, it might work for few extra years but i think it's time to replace it with something equal or better. Here you don't have too much to choose from, local stores suck, at best you find some evga 500w white psu or rebranded chinese psu's like 700w with 15a on 12v. ? so my only options are online stores and this is what i've found so far that suits my budget. No Fractal, no Rosewill, BeQuiet or more brands why is that? idk those are very rare, couldn't find any available, finally most online stores sell only refurbished corsair psu's, nothing brand new and i don't trust refurbished stuff plus only 1y warranty with corsair and few months with the store? that sucks, btw thanks GoldenLag for the help in my previous post. According to PSU tier list 4.0: - EVGA 550w 550 Supernova G3 (Tier D+) (fully modular) - part number/id: 220-G3-0550-Y1 - EVGA 600w 600BR 80 bronze (Tier C) - part number/id: BR-0600-K1 - EVGA 600w 600BQ 80 bronze (Tier C) - part number/id: 110-BQ-0600-K1 - EVGA 700w 700BR 80 bronze (Tier C) - part number/id: 100-BR-0700-K1 - Gigabyte 700w B700H 80 bronze (Tier C) (semi-modular) - part number/id: GP-B700H - Cooler Master 600w MWE 80 bronce (Tier B)- part number/id: MPX-6001-ACAAB-US Can't find any of these in psu tier list: - EVGA 600w 600GD 80 Gold - (maybe tier B) part number/id: 100-GD-0600-V1 - Cooler Master 650w MasterWatt 80 Bronze (semi-modular) - part number/id: MPX-6501-AMAAB-US - Cooler Master 750w MasterWatt 80 Bronze (semi-modular) - part number/id: MPX-7501-AMAAB-US so if you had to choose one of the above which one would it be? imo i like the EVGA 600w GD 80 gold and Gigabyte B700H, even Cooler Master MWE 600w. My potato specs? thx in advance?

Ok sorry bout that golden lol, im bit clumsy, thx for the help, i'll get the gpu then look for a good psu, btw there's something very weird about Corsair psu's in most online mexican stores, all of them are refurbished psu's i could get the refurbished CX550 or CX650 and GPU at once but idk, anyway ty

I don't want 2nd hand hardware coz it didn't go well in the past, don't trust people here in my mexican city that sucks i know but thats me So i should change my old PSU that's a priority more than getting new GPU huh? i could take the risk and get the Super 1650 or RX580 and pray it won't blow up, my results from most PSU calculator sites (either with super 1650 or gtx 1060) are (give or take) 328-420 load wattage so my Antec 520w should be ok... anyway have to think about it. This one is good? evga 700w GD 80gold 5 years warranty https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=100-GD-0700-V1 i could get both in one month, psu and gpu but problem is the mexican currency, when our goverment does something stupid (which pretty much happens everyday) US dollar goes up therefore everything becomes more expensive, specially computer hardware

So it still works but being an old psu with outdated design should be avoided in 2020, the gtx 1650 is on sale at the store where i buy pc stuff and 580 is bit expensive compared with 1650 or even 1650 super, weird huh? anyway i'll think about it, getting a 570-580 instead gonna check amazon right now but do you think it's wise to make my 520w 7y old psu work with gtx 1650 super? what about the regular gtx1650 1 fan without 6pin connector version? why tho i mean do you think it can fail anytime soon and destroy something like the motherboard or ssd? i know it's a 7y old low tier psu but so far it's been working just fine that's why im tempted to push it further with the 1650 super (it has 2x 6+2 pin connectors) another option could be the regular, basic gtx 1650 and some EVGA 600-700 GD gold psu. CX450 is 80 bronze just like my old antec but has 70w less, is that a good thing? looks like cx450 is very popular but it can handle all my potato hardware plus gtx 1650 Super 100w gpu? im asking coz i have no idea, im a newb. Let's say for whatever reason i dont want AMD gpu, i'm a stubborn dumb newb in love with nvidia who wants gtx 1650 super running with 7y old low tier 520w psu, is that something stupid, risky, dangerous? i'll take 570,580 into consideration anyway thx

Hello there this is my 1st topic in linustech forums, btw yeah i'm mexican so apologies for making your eyes bleed with such magnificent engrish. So i have this ancient Antec HCG 520w, high current gamer it's a low tier 80plus bronze psu from 2013 lol so far so good, this lil guy has been working for countless hours since 2013 it's a 7 years old psu ohh god ?? and i have absolutely no idea whatsoever if it can handle something like the GTX 1650 Super which needs 6 pin connector, more precisely the Asus TUF GTX 1650 Super 4gb gddr6 https://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/TUF-GTX1650S-O4G-GAMING/ My potato is very outdated but im not the kind of gamer who wants everything at 2k with ultra settings so im just fine playing at 1080p with low-mid settings and that's what i have with my current setup: Ryzen 3 1300x Gigabyte AB350 Gaming motherboard (it has some RGB build-in) EVGA GTX 750 Ti SC 16GB 2x 8gb RAM WD 3d nand blue 500gb SSD WD blue 1TB HDD DVD/RW LG drive 2x 120mm corsair led fans (each one with 4 tiny red led's) Hyper 212 evo cooler (with another 120mm fan, no leds, it's the default 212 fan) Some corsair pc case with 2x USB 3.0 ports Cheap logitech wired keyboard Logitech G203 mice with some rgb. Logitech G332 headset 27" inch 1080p LG TN monitor and sometimes, i use this Benq 24" ips 1080p as secondary monitor ( it's not connected all the time) And of course, the Antec HCG 520w 80 plus bronze PSU, so whats the problem? i really don't know if i'ts a good idea to put moar load on this PSU, GTX 750 ti takes like 65w right? The GTX 1650 super needs like 100w or something idk, the 6pin connector tells me it needs more energy and i don't wanna fry my old psu or kill anythingg there like my ssd or motherboard, Asus says it needs 350w power supply, actually it says "recommended" so maybe a 300w psu could work? lol Any good and reliable PSU Calculator websites? Can you help out me to figure how much power my current potato is eating from my Antec 520w psu? Do you think i'ts time to shutdown and retire the 520w 7y old psu? anyway i could get the Asus Phoenix gtx 1650 single fan no 6pin connector and still would be a nice upgrade from my old gtx 750ti and maybe get 10-15 more fps? the reason why i want the Super edition i'ts because many websites say it has 50% more (something like that) performance compared with basic gtx 1650 hmm... sounds like marketing yadayada but can't be sure im a clueless lazy noob, thx in advance have a nice day guys ?
