6900XT ...with 650W?

[aDoomGuy]

So... apparently my new GPU was shipped with lightspeed mode on and my new PSU was not. 

 

Lets say... would I be able to run my PC with the 6900XT and my current 3 year old Corsair RMx 650? I don't need to game but would be nice to ship off this 2080 to it's new owner and run the PC with the AMD card. I explained to the buyer of my 2080 that I couldn't ship it immidiately so that's fine, but we all know what it's like waiting for that graphics card, right? So yeah, would prefer to get it shipped ASAP.

 

So, what we think will the specs below blow up the 650W PSU (or trip protections)?

 

Asus 6900XT Tuf Top (rec:850W)

Ryzen 5 3600x

B550-E Gaming

2x NVMe

2x SATA SSD

1x 7200rpm spinny drive

6x 140mm fans

BeQuiet! Dark Rock 4 (135mm fan?)

 

I'll be decent for a day or two for light tasks right? 3600x don't use much juice, hmm?

RMX is solid PSU, try it out! Will work fine most likely. If you notice random shutdowns you can just replace it. The rest of the system isn't using much power

Yes, it should be fine. 

The idle wattage of this card is low, any demanding tasks might be a bit sketch.

 

You could always lower the clockspeed and voltage for a while.

 

I've personally seen 325w sustained during gaming.

Thanks doc. I got a RMx 850 on the way but I got it from another store on Black Week discount. Was ordered two days before the card so I didn't think the card would be the first to arrive.

Thanks, sounds good. I can probably ship the dude the 2080 today or tomorrow then. Awesome.

For future reference, I'm pulling 270W (+40W on the CPU) sustained in RDR2 benchmark. No crashing (yet).
