is the seasonic s12ii 620w good for this build?

[Codebreaker3683]

I'm on a very tight budget, I am going to buy a new PC. Please let me know if this PSU is ok or not. I'm very confused right now.

My specs:

Ryzen 5 3600

RTX 2070

MSI MORTAR MAX MOBO

G-Skill Trident-Z RGB 16GB DDR4 3200MHZ

No

At least tier B, preferably higher.

I would go up to 750 or 800 casue the graphics card

3600 dont even exceed 100w from the socket while RTX 2070 cant go over 250w no matter what you do to it, I see zero sense to go to 750w or more. Even 500w is sufficient

oh I thought they pulled quite a bit more, maybe im confusing them with a different one. Sry

What about the Thermaltake smart se 630w?

That's even worse.

 

Where are you located?  U.S.?  Canada?  Europe?  UK?

 

[Codebreaker3683]

I'm from located in Bangladesh. How many watts do I need for this build? Will the ANTEC truepower 550 be ok or the NEO ECO II 550m

Is this the one you are talking about? It's Tier B, so it should be fine.

Thanks bro, I was so worried man

Yes it will be. The S12II 620 is capable and well-built enough to handle pretty much any single-GPU setup. 

 

I have the S12II 500W with a Ryzen 3600 and a RX480, which will be at most only a 20-30W difference in power draw compared to your system, and performs perfectly.

It's a 10 year old group regulated unit that performs like garbage when crossloaded. You don't want this powering a 3600/2070.

The S12II although and older design can power that setup. No problem.

mind you, these aren't the same thing

 

yours is a Seasonic ET, while S12ii x20 is a Seasonic GB Bronze.

 

for multiple reasons, I wouldn't let a S12ii run this system. It's group regulation, it not meeting haswell standards, it not having OTP/12v UVP and so on

 

it was a decent PSU at it's time, but not a decade later

It has the power and integrity to run that setup. Older design but capable. Upgrade when you can.

Capable ? Yes. Recommended ? No. Because it wouldn't perform good under crossloads associated with modern PCs, you're unlikely to notice that as it's not that terrible, GPU and motherboard VRM will cope but that would degrade their lifetime.

[Gorilla Warfare]

That's all speculation.

No, that's a common sense, if you have high-end PC - don't get low-end PSU.

 

[X1650]

I have this exact model powering a 2600 and a RTX 2060, plenty of drives and fans. It works fine. Despite its flawed design, it stays within spec in crossload tests (admittedly barely, but it does) and it does have UVP, unlike stated earlier.

 

But you shouldn't buy one. It's extremely old and, while it's one of the best GR units out there, it's GR. It will struggle under certain load scenarios that you will probably meet in your day-to-day, and it may not always handle those scenarios gracefully. It's a decade old. It's missing several protections that have been developed over the years.

 

You've got a lot of money invested in those parts. You want them to last. Get a decent-quality unit with a modern internal design. Drop the RGB tax on the RAM, or get a weaker GPU, but don't skimp on the PSU.

But not on the 12v rail.

 

As stated earlier.
