Is rm550x 80 plus gold enough to power this system?

 

ryzen 7 3700x + 2080 super

Other system spechs: ballistix 16gb ram , x570tuf, noctua dh-15, NO RGB, 7 fans

 

I read that some users are going for 700-800 watt psu, while others says that it's fine 550 watt.

 

Doing some maths: cpu+gpu peaks at 400 watt usage, so there are 150 watts spare for the rest of the system

 

thanks!

In theory yes it should work, but boost wattages could be restricted. Personally I’d advise against it if you can get another power supply, but if it what you have from a previous system, don’t sweat it.

CPU: Intel core i7-8086K Case: CORSAIR Crystal 570X RGB CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H150i PRO RGB Storage: Samsung 980 Pro - 2TB NVMe SSD PSU: EVGA 1000 GQ, 80+ GOLD 1000W, Semi Modular GPU: MSI Radeon RX 580 GAMING X 8G RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum 64GB (4 x 16GB) DDR4 3200mhz Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX Z370-E Gaming

When the cpu or gpu boost up, they usually increase the amount of electricity they use.

cpu+gpu of his will  use max 400 watts,150 watts left, it's extremely unlikely that  gpu or cpu boost could cause any kind of issues.

They still won't break 350W for the CpU and GPU

Asus TuF X570 is the best value board with that chipaet. Solid BIOS, good VRNs and affordable

@tony01 For gaming ? Yes, 400W are enough, 550W are plenty. For rendering or smth like that ? 550W should be still enough but most PSUs would be noisy under full load.

Tag or quote me so i see your reply

It's still enough. Even if maxed, the whole system won't pull more than 400W
