Using EVGA 550 GD to power i7-7700 and GTX1060

curxe

This is my first time building a rig, so I've picked parts that cheaper for it but I don't really know how to look their quality as there are many parts out there. I've tried googling their review but some of my parts are flat out non-exist. And this time I searched for EVGA 550 GD PSU info but I can't find it anywhere. Please help me out. BTW, I'm new here but I've subscribing LTT for 2 months now.

550 GD looks like tha Asia model, that being said you are fine running this config on that psu you should not be using more than 350-375 in real world usage.

If I recall correctly, @Stefan Paynesaid it was an Asia-market unit that was a “bleh” FSP design.

 

Probably fine for a 1060.

I'm a bit worried that my mobo couldn't handle the current and I'll use 1060 for a while before upgrading it. I want to use either Titan Xp or 1080.

I still couldn't find a good thing in this post. Are this PSU will even perform as the box state?

That nice to know. I'm bit afraid that my board will burn to crisp.

Yes, probably, but overload behavior is unknown.

Its entirely possible that it will die while overloaded.

Well, no.

Its 25W for a normal slot.

75W for a graphics slot. 

You have to take a look at your Motherboard manual to know wich is what....
