psu calculator

[johnyb98]

Hi dear members.

Please, maybe the answer to my question is obvious, however I would like to upload it.

I use an online PSU calculator. The CPU I enter is AMD APU 2200G. So, as you know, in specific APU, there is the integrated video card.

In calculator, you have the opportunity to choose video card. In this APU, the video card is RX Vega 8. It is not listed in VGA list of calculator list.

Does it happen because it is integrated in APU, so there is no need to be listed, and choose it?

 

Thank you for your time !

No need to be listed.

What's your full system? Typically PSU calculators overestimate a lot

[Firewrath9]

for just a 2200G, anything more than 300W (for future upgrades) should be fine.

[GoldenLag]

Dont use PSU calculators. They are more like marketing tools than anything 

 

 

And the powerdraw of an APU is included with GPU.

A high quality PSU that is.

 

Dont grab any old 350 watt and call it a day

 

 

Cx450/550(2017) is a good pick for most of the world in terms of price 

 

And if you are in the UK. Pick up a Bequiet pure power 10/11 400/500 watt. Or a bequiet system power 9 500/600 watt

It's going to be like 100W if only 2200g

What's a CX 2017?

A cx450/550 (2017) is the non-modular greylabel PSU from Corsair

 

Not the same as the semi-modular

The System Power B9 is incredibly cheap and is good quality too.

Corsair CX power supply series, 2017 version. For CX450 you don't need to specify this, for CX550 and up you do.

I thought there was no CX 2017.

There 'is', it's just that for every wattage except 750W it's unnecessary to say it's 2017.

100% agree. Online calculators are shite.

 

must say the pcp one is quite ‘accurate’ as in not overestimating heavy.

why not the 400?

[johnyb98]

Really appreciate your answers!!! Totally helpful.

It was the next step to go. To upload full system parts, and see for your recommendations. I will upload parts to see it, and tell me watts needed. Just when I complete parts, I will upload parts list.

No good reason really, other than having a bit more overhead when you step down in quality. I dont perticularly like the pure power 400 watt either

honestly a weird reason... only 350 or lower have major differences at be quiet psus

It is a wierd reason. Mostly cuz i dont like sub 500 watt PSUs

Hello again.

 

Here are the two optional systems.

 

system1 (micro ATX)

CPU AMD RYZEN 3 2200G 3.70GHZ 4-CORE WITH WRAITH STEALTH BOX
ASUS PRIME A320M-K
RAM G.SKILL F4-3200C16D-8GVKB 8GB (2X4GB) DDR4 3200MHZ RIPJAWS V DUAL CHANNEL KIT
SSD SAMSUNG MZ-76E250B/EU 860 EVO SERIES 250GB 2.5'' SATA3
PIONEER DVR-S21WBK INTERNAL DVD WRITER

System2 (ATX)

CPU INTEL CORE I3-8100 3.60GHZ LGA1151 - BOX
ASUS PRIME B360-PLUS
RAM G.SKILL F4-3200C16D-8GVKB 8GB (2X4GB) DDR4 3200MHZ RIPJAWS V DUAL CHANNEL KIT
SSD SAMSUNG MZ-76E250B/EU 860 EVO SERIES 250GB 2.5'' SATA3
PIONEER DVR-S21WBK INTERNAL DVD WRITER

 

Also, information that you need to have. USB peripherals are

-keyboard

-mouse

-barcode scanner

-USB laser printer (has its own power cable)

-and a small usb kit for adjusting a rolling led bar. Small kit. No special energy needs for this kit. Think of it as a mouse size.

 

Also, no needs for O.C.

 

So, what would be your PSU suggestions in two systems?

 

Thank you !

something 400 watts or higher i'd say, and tier b or higher from that list i showed above, but higher is always better

 

correction: wrong topic, here's the list

 

Edited May 26, 2019 by LukeSavenije

[johnyb98]

Of course I agree higher is always better. But, in order for save money, it would be too much for a 650. Correct?

 

e.g. a 500-550 would be a good choice for both good/enough power and save money. How about that?

BitFenix Whisper M 450W; good quality cheap fully modular PSU. Just make sure to keep the extra cables, you'll need them.

is a option, but a good 450 will be more than sufficient

Each manufacturer has its own extra cables? e.g. if I have a SATA extra from BitFenix, may I use it in a e.g. Seasonic or CoolerMaster. Or damage?

Since it's about same system (the first one), I thought to ask it here. I hope this is not a mistake.

So, in first system, motherboard is this one:

 

https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/PRIME-A320M-K/specifications/

 

As for memory modules, and telling that I want to use 3200MHz RAM, this RAM here, with no O.C., won't be recognized in 3200 automatically? UEFI won't auto recognize them in 3200? In order to work in 3200, I should manually overclock? If I do not overclock, auto UEFI where will it go in no overclocking speed?

RAM sticks have a default JEDEC speed it will go to if you don't set anything in the BIOS.

 

Higher-end RAM sticks will have XMP profiles for you to select, or you can do it manually if you know what you are doing (do note there will be a lot of trial-and-error for this)

 

Also get a B450 chipset at least, A320 chipset won't have support for the newer Ryzen series so your upgrade path is essentially dead. And I think you need to flash the BIOS as well for a 2nd gen Ryzen.
