Posted April 24, 2019 So im in the process of working on a new build, i have most of my components decided on now, but the one that keeps giving me fits is figuring out what PSU to go towards. I've narrowed down to the point of going for a 650W unit, i dont think that i'll need anything more powerful then that, while at the same time, it gives me some overhead on my 2600 and Vega 56 to draw on. Now what im having the most problems with is deciding what unit to actually go with. Im trying to keep myself around the $60-$70 range. I've seen afew Rosewill Capstone and Photon units on Newegg that are either on sale, or openbox at this point. By the PSU tier list, these are both listed as B tier.. but then i keep seeing people say they arent very reliable units. I've been seeing alot of people reccomend the TX-M, but thats alittle more expensive them im wanting to do, if i have another option open to me first.

Posted April 24, 2019 You can get CX 2017 it's cheap and a good PSU overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 24, 2019 Even 550w will do, you need extreme overclocking to need more wattage.

That's what happened to the Seasonic Focus series and lead to the "fix" of not having OCP anymore, but other PSUs should be fine CPU: i7-2600K 4751MHz 1.44V (software) --> 1.47V at the back of the socket Motherboard: Asrock Z77 Extreme4 (BCLK: 103.3MHz) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 RAM: Adata XPG 2x8GB DDR3 (XMP: 2133MHz 10-11-11-30 CR2, custom: 2203MHz 10-11-10-26 CR1 tRFC:230 tREFI:14000) GPU: Asus GTX 1070 Dual (Super Jetstream vbios, +70(2025-2088MHz)/+400(8.8Gbps)) SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB (main boot drive), Transcend SSD370 128GB PSU: Seasonic X-660 80+ Gold Case: Antec P110 Silent, 5 intakes 1 exhaust Monitor: AOC G2460PF 1080p 144Hz (150Hz max w/ DP, 121Hz max w/ HDMI) TN panel Keyboard: Logitech G610 Orion (Cherry MX Blue) with SteelSeries Apex M260 keycaps Mouse: BenQ Zowie FK1 Model: HP Omen 17 17-an110ca CPU: i7-8750H (0.125V core & cache, 50mV SA undervolt) GPU: GTX 1060 6GB Mobile (+80/+450, 1650MHz~1750MHz 0.78V~0.85V) RAM: 8+8GB DDR4-2400 18-17-17-39 2T Storage: HP EX920 1TB PCIe x4 M.2 SSD + Crucial MX500 1TB 2.5" SATA SSD, 128GB Toshiba PCIe x2 M.2 SSD (KBG30ZMV128G) gone cooking externally, 1TB Seagate 7200RPM 2.5" HDD (ST1000LM049-2GH172) left outside Monitor: 1080p 126Hz IPS G-sync Desktop benching: Cinebench R15 Single thread:168 Multi-thread: 833 SuperPi (v1.5 from Techpowerup, PI value output) 16K: 0.100s 1M: 8.255s 32M: 7m 45.93s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tested a couple and the HEC made 550W were fine. All three of them (Gold and Bronze). Though couldn't get it running reliably on the DELTA 500QB... The funny thing is that Multi Rail might actually be better for VEGA than Single rail, if done right...
