Those recommendations usually include the whole system. Since the enclosure is only powering the GPU it should be fine.

Hello all! I am currently building a semi-powerful work house of a Mac mini, and am looking at getting the Akitio Node eGPU enclosure and an Sapphire Pulse RX 570. My only question is, will the 400 Watt PSU on the Node be powerful enough to provide stable energy to the card? On the AMD website, it says it's recommended to have a 450 Watt PSU.

That's to power a whole PC though

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
