Will this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QR7wDZ Rig work for one day?

[ColonelFPS]

It's my current build except I bought a used GPU off of facebook and I have 3 day testing warranty. That warranty will be gone before my A650GF arrives. So just for testing that the GPU is cool or not. and you know just a little testing to see whether it will work or not. Can I use this build for a day?

Edit: OP's question is: "Is my Cooler Master MWE Bronze V2 450W acceptable to test a used RX 6600. I've ordered a 650W PSU, but won't receive it before the 3 day testing warranty of the RX 6600 expires."

1. Is your actual question: "Can I test a used GPU (model unknown) with my current PSU which is a Cooler Master MWE Bronze V2 450W"?
2. What GPU did you buy? (I'm assuming it's NOT the RX 6600 listed in your pcpartpicker build.)

In theory it should work. Its might be tight but it will run games.  Maybe not hit the hardest hitting games but you can absolutely make sure that the GPU is functioning.

If that GPU is the 6600 in your list.

1. Correct.
2. Yes it is the newer one, my old GPU is a Gigabyte GTX 1650

are you concerned about PSU wattage and GPU power draw? (of the new GPU)

yes it is and what should I throw at it, I'll tell you what I have. I have Tekken 7, apex legends, VALORANT, OverzzzWatch 2, Witcher 3, Batman Arkham Series (Every Game), RDR2, GTA V and summertime saga.

is your PSU MWE V1 or V2?

 

but sounds like it could handle it,

 

worst case: protection will trip on PSU

Witcher 3 and RDR2 should do the trick   Walk around in the open world, should tax the GPU enough to see if its stable or not
Will be fine with the 450w PSU until you get that 650W from MSI.
Happy Gaming and Happy Holiday!

You need to do actual GPU testing first. Then play games on it after that completes successfully.

1. Install MSI Afterburner to monitor temps
2. Use OCCT to test the VRAM and GPU
3. Avoid using FURMARK
4. You can install Superposition also and run that multiple times
5. Play games after all those tests are complete
   Play as many games as long as you can
6. Let the computer just idle on the Windows screen after signing in for a few hours, let it go to sleep, wake it up etc.

Remember to take into account what CPU he is running as well and not only look at the GPU's PSU recuirement.

If he was running a 13700k, I would not recommend running that RX 6600 with a 450w.

Luckily he is using a 3600 with a TDP of 65w.

So just download OCCT and run the tests and badaboom?

V2 is good news, V2 MWE Bronze Cooler Master is B-tier PSU on the tierlist (basically means 2nd place in race in simple terms)

what does OCCT do?

I edited my post to add more tests. TL;DR no... you need to subject the GPU to all the different loads (including gaming) to test all clock speeds and power states.

OCCT will just be a good way to catch obvious/major defects in VRAM/GPU or cooling quickly.

Still need to game (a lot if possible) in different games and restart the computer multiple times to check for instability at low clocks/power states (a common place GPU (and CPU) instability occurs). (see my previous post)

Okay, so I received the GPU. I ran OCCT on it, 1 hour no errors detected (VRAM, there was nothing explicit for GPU) then I ran SuperPosition at 8k Optimized. The FANS WERE GOING but the temps were stable at 69 to 71 with 18 fps. Then I ran it at 1080p Extreme. 35 FPS and temps were the same. Then I ran Unigine Heaven because it looks pretty. Max FPS was 140. Then I ran TimeSpy which gave me a good rating compared to other R5 3600 and RX6600.

And I played Shadow of the Tomb Raider. CRANKED TO THE HIGHEST AT 1080p (monitor native is 1080) and it was running smoothly at 60 degrees.

Should I play more and then give OK? or just let it be?

You can always stop, but the longer you can do any of them the better. Regardless, make sure you do number six below:

I did do number six, it woke up. I played some games on it. They ran fine, honestly the amount I expected them to. Except Overwatch and AMD GPUs being too obsessed with running at 60 at first with everything cranked to Ultra.
