What PSU Do I Need For An RX Vega 64

My current PSU (550w 80+ Bronze) does not provide enough power for my GPU even with a massive undervolt.

What Wattage PSU would i need to be able to overclock my Vega 64? The box says 1000W recommended but that seems a little high.

I have the Powercolor Water Cooled Vega 64.

A good 550-650W is fine. The recommendation will depend on your budget and where you'll buy from.

you can make a Vega 65 draw 500W or so once you start overclocking so a nice 850W is probably what i would go for. depends on what the rest of the system is though

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

Did you read my post? Said that my 550W PSU shuts off even with a huge undervolt

CPU is Xeon e3-1231 v3 and is also water cooled so that might use a little extra wattage

The card has two 8-pin PCI-E poer plugs which mean it's limited to 2x150W + 75W ~= 375W.

 

How strong is your PSU on the 12V rail? Does it have multiple 12V rails or a single rail?

 

If your PSU can provide 500W on 12V (42A) it shouldn't be turning off.

I have highlighted and underlined the important part.

 

What model is your current PSU?

yah i would probably get at least a 750W if you want to start pushing the Vega 64, make sure you get something thats not a bad unit either. anything teir 3 and up on this list will do:

 

there is a more updated list but i cant seem to find it as its not pinned, but this list is plenty good

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

In theory, that PSU should be enough. But since 12V is used by the board, CPU, hard drives, fans etc, your PSU it at its limit.

 

Can you try disconnecting all non-essential devices, fans and such and also undervolt the CPU by a tiny bit? How old is the PSU?

 

Consider a 750W quality PSU. The Rosevill you linked isn't a one.

I'd say EVGA G2 or G3. Seasonic.

unsure about the quality, its single rail which i dont think is that good for a big PSU but im no expert at this stuff

I narrowed the search down to 4 PSU's below $200AUD, which would be the best, I'm leaning towards the P7 or TX-M which are all top tier PSU's

Aerocool Project 7 (P7) is probably one of the best PSU-s you could go with.

The G2 is quite long, and not particularly quiet. The G3 has issues with its protections and it's very loud. Seasonic is a brand, has issues with cold solder, uses quite mediocre fans, and the Focus is known to have issues with Vega.

Out of these I would probably go with Whisper M. Sure, P7 might sound like a fancy unit, but it has single rail, which is meh. 

TX-M will be loud as hell, I replaced the 550W because even at idle it was pretty annoying.

Why not this? Ok, not sure what that GST is.

Here is testing by Cybenetics.

It runs its fan much faster than other comparable PSUs. And you still have the issues with its protections to worry about.

When I had to choose a new PSU that I would get from the Fractal Edison M 550W RMA I had limited choice and from what I've read the G3 550W was the best out of those 3-4 available units. At that time I didn't read about any serious issues with the G3 or the Leadex platform used in them. What kind of protection issues does it have? Should I be worried?

When I had to choose a new PSU that I would get from the Fractal Edison M 550W RMA I had limited choice and from what I've read the G3 550W was the best out of those 3-4 available units. At that time I didn't read about any serious issues with the G3 or the Leadex platform used in them. What kind of protection issues does it have? Should I be worried?

My current PSU (550w 80+ Bronze) does not provide enough power for my GPU even with a massive undervolt.

What Wattage PSU would i need to be able to overclock my Vega 64? The box says 1000W recommended but that seems a little high.

I have the Powercolor Water Cooled Vega 64.

I m gonna ignore most of the comments. As @seon123 said you don't need more than 550-650 watts assuming you re not running a server along with the vega. Just get a quality one. Also it would be nice to write down your pc specs.

I used to run a Vega 64 and 8700K on a CX450M. Just get a decent PSU, even a CX grey would work.

Exactly.  You don't need an 850W.  You just need a PSU that's not a piece of shit.

Did you read my post? Said that my 550W PSU shuts off even with a huge undervolt

Yes and what is "your PSU"???
Your specification is worthless for us to tell.

As there are decent 550W PSU, even with 80plus Bronze

But most of them are just garbage.

 

"550W" Starts at 27€ or so for the utter nonsense and stops at around 123€ for a Dark Power Pro P11.

That there should be a difference between the 30€ and 130€ PSU should be obvious.

Oh and there's also an almost 200€ Fanless "digital" unit as well.

OKish units are at minimum around 40-50€.

But I still would NOT recommend any of those for VEGA.


The bare minimum I'd use would be a ~100€ Gold one for example be quiet Straight Power 11.

CPU is Xeon e3-1231 v3 and is also water cooled so that might use a little extra wattage

Depends on what you're doing, how much you want to kick your shit and how long you want to keep it...

If you want to keep it, you look at optimization -> undervolting and slight increase of clockrates.

THat also slightly increases performance while reducing noise and also increases the lifespan of the components.

Currently, I have a CoolerMaster GX 550W CM Storm Bronze

...wich was pretty bad when it was new, almost 10 Years ago!

That it doesn't work should be rather obvious, shouldn't it??

Its a 2010 PSU in the Seventeam Version...

I might try that, if/when I get my VEGA.

If nothing goes wrong, that might be the week after next, at the end of February...
