Estimated wattage

[Ralee]

Hello, i would like to ask if the Sama Armor 550w Gold is enough to cover non oc-ed rx 5700 xfx? It's will be paired with 3.9ghz ryzen 1600x, one ssd, one hdd, three fans and cooler master 212x hyper. I don't plan to oc it so yeah. Fans are stock from 410 phantom. Ask if the details are not enough, the motherboard is b350-F Gaming.

 

Thanks for your time

I don't know about the wattage but why have you gone for a 212x hyper? Because the stock AMD cooler is actually pretty good on its own

1600x doesn't come with stock cooler.

It's enough.

Can you elaborate?

CPU <100W gpu <250W so 350W but i just forgot what the gpu actually pull when it's full load, Just a rough estimation but works everytime.

Based on one forum, the peak gaming power is around 183 w. So i guess i'm fine but still wanted opinion.

Oh oke I thought it did but still you can better spend a bit more money on a better cooler like a scythe mugen 5 or a be quiet pure rock

It's already old 5-6 months now, and i don't really wanna buy new cooler for no reason, i mean you just change graphics and cpu on a pc from time to time

Never heard of Sama Armor, so I can't comment on the quality of the unit, but it should be enough.

 

5700 will use around 180W, 1600X around 100W. I'd guess around 350W total for the build under full load.

Most consumer PC will not even reach 300W even a i5 8600k and 1070Ti is not reaching 300W it's oc'd also.

cpu 80-100w

motherboard incl. ram : 25-40w

ssd : ~5w

fans : 2-3 w each

cooler : 2-3w

5700 : up to 200w

 

So you want a psu that can do a minimum of around 350w... to be very conservative, let's say 400w on 12v rails.

 

According to Google, the Sama Armor Gold can do 44A on 12v, or 528 watts, so your psu should be perfectly fine.

My i7 8700K and GTX 970 easily consume over 300W under load. This is pretty common, especially on mid-high end builds. 

 

Under load, the RX 5700 uses approx 180W (https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-radeon-rx_5700-rx_5700_xt,6216-4.html), and the 1600X uses 60-90W depending on the load. (https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-ryzen-5-1600x-cpu-review,5014-9.html)

Add a little for the SSD (1-3W), HDD (5-10W), fans (~2W each), chipset, peripherals, etc... and you end up with around 300W, if not a little more.

 

Keep in mind those are load power consumptions, not idle.

Maybe not 300 but 350W maybe more or less not 400W is for sure.

550w is more than enough.
