5700 5700 on 530w PSU?

[RiasadHuq10]

I want to upgrade to a Sapphire Radeon 5700. But I currently have a 530W PSU (Thermaltake smart SE SPS 530 bronze certified)

Now the TDP of the 5700 is 180W while the 5700XT is 225W while they both recommend a 600W PSU. Now other GPUs with a TDP of 180w such as 2060super/1070ti/1080 recommend 500W-550W PSUs. Also the total power consumption of 5700 rigs on YouTube is 315W. Less than 2060/1070ti/1080 rigs. Now I'm wondering if my 530w PSU will be enough for a Sapphire 5700

the wattage is enough yes.

How long have you used that psu. It might be very old and it can get faulty when using rx 5700 with it.

A 5700 consumes up to about 200 watts. The rest of your system doesn't consume more than 100 watts.

 

So if your power supply can deliver at least 300 watts on your 12v rails, you should be fine.

Around 4 years

Take my advice with a grain of salt but you're probably fine using your old PSU as long as you can connect everything up to it. When PSU's die they usually die only taking themselves out without impacting the other components. That's not a super great PSU so if you have the money, I'd say replace it but there should be nothing wrong with you reusing it in your new build. Just weigh the risks of your PSU dying and potentially taking out your other components.

I run a 5700xt with a 3600x on a 550 watt Corsair rmx just fine but that’s a A- tier psu 
 

I don’t know what tier your psu is in on the list, if it’s on the low end I’d probably get a new psu to play it safe.
