It's garbage and not even a 600w PSU. Maybe 400w on your luckiest day when all the planets are in one line.

No OCP, no OTP and 2 fake 12v rails that are tied together on the PCB.

So a fire hazard.

I'm using a 3070 Ti with a 650w PSU. It's a Seasonic Focus GX though, so... It really depends on the quality of your PSU.

Assuming a mid range or higher PSU, 600w is fine.

 

Remember the suggested minimum power supply is intended to take into account the entire system with a large safety margin.

 

The 2060 itself will peak at around 160w at most unless OC'ed.

 

Assuming equaly power efficient and non-OC'ed hardware you could even get away with a 'quality' 400w PSU, though not ideal.

The power is enough, for sure. What PSU though? Not all 600W PSU's are created equal.

Its a Xilience one, doesnt have a 8ß plus rating but has TÜV which is like a german safety department
