G3258 and HD5770 on Pico 160xt kit

[Viesulis]

I got a lead on G3258 for 40 euro and I already have an 5770 so will it be too much for the Pico?

It will be way too much for the Pico

[Damascus]

G3258 

53 W

 

5770

108W

 

total - 161 W

 

pico PCU - 160 W

 

 

There are  other micro PSUs with higher wattage limits (180W and 300W)

But the Pentium and 5770 draw about 160 watts together why will it be too much?

And what about under volting 5770

Are you using their TDP to get that number?

TDP: Thermal Design Power
I would look at reviews of the HD 5770 or use ExtremePSUCalculator, which is what I'm doing right now.

[TheGhzGuy]

Also, do you plan to OC that G3258?

No I don't have the budget for a better mobo just a itx one.

Also I'm putting the system in Xbox 360 case so thermals are going to be toasty.

You could still OC, but yeah I see why you wouldn't want to. Also, I always wanted to do that lol. ExtremePSUCalculator says 251 Watts under load, just FYI

Maybe a GTX 750 Ti? Or an RX 460? Or a 1050 Ti?

I'd expect pretty much any older AMD discrete GPU to be much for any PicoPSU.

Change of plans I have found g2030,4gb ram and matx motherboard from ASUS

Together with 5770 the take 163 watts

One option is undervoltting

I'd still not do it. I'd avoid using anything that consumes more power than a 1050ti.

Yeah, or 1050ti. Anything that runs off just PCIe power and no external power.

Got thanks!
