Look I know this is dangerous and dumb, but out of the two witch one is a better option if you must use one? a8-7600 and r9 nano. Pcie slot should deliver 75w, so adapter needs to deliver 100w @ max peak tdp of the r9 nano. A8-7600 tdp 65w. The power unit this pc has is 300w.

So molex or sata? I own both adapters. Witch one is more suitable for the job. Yes I know this might turn into a bomb. Don't worry I'll record it and post here if it happens.

I wouldn't suggest either. The PSU has only 19A on 12V rail - 228W

Nano might consume up to 175W and CPU above 65W probably.

[Blasty Blosty]

Molex, each connector can draw up to 40w

 

Sata is like 4 or something

[whispous]

Enjoy your fire

[Kilrah]

Molex always, SATA isn't meant for carrying much current. SATA max 4.5A on 12V, Molex can do 10A. 

Also you can't just expect the card to take 75W from the PCIe slot.

 

That' said you're above the rating of the PSU, it can only give 230W on 12V which is what all major components are drawing from.

Not really... not for 12V (which is what you need for CPU & GPU)

19A x 12V = 228W

Someone has a gun to your head and you must continue using that PSU? 
Anyways, 2x molex to pcie 6+2 , because:

Single molex connector: max 11A (11A * 12V = 132W)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molex_connector

Single sata power connector: 4.5A (4.5A * 12V = 54W)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SATA#SATA_power

 

If you must set something on fire, go with that PSU and 2x molex xD.

Neither this is a guaranteed pc kill/fire.

 

Molex is the least bad but the fury nano will simply put cause more power drawn than this cruddy psu can even produce.

 

Stop, get a decent psu it doesnt even have to cost much ans then use the gpu.

 

You have 3 options here:

Dont add the gpu and use pc as is

Add gpu and dont have a working pc anymore

Buy a better psu

 

Trust me you do NOT want an electrical fire. Especially with big capacitors involved.

I'll just slap a 1050Ti 4gb in it and sell it.

rx 470/480 or 570/580 4gb would also work and those are like ~30$ whilst being the performance of a 1060 so unless your area hates amd cards thatd be a better buy, can be undervolted to ~100w .86v

 

psu wise just look for whatever half decent unit you can find ~10$ criteria being 12v no more than 100w below psu advertised rating (ex psu advertised as 700w but 12v = 50a/600w, closer to psu rating the better the psu) and single 12v rail only as multirails are all trash when we are looking at this sort of pricepoint regardless of combined rail wattage, branding doesnt matter as this criteria will filter most of the garbage but i do also reccomend checking online reviews if available or just looking the thing up just to make sure there are no known issues

 

id pick the sata over the molex as i havent had any melting issues with sata adapters, wont be drawing much from it anyways with an undervolt and dont expect it to spontaneously combust over 54w, maybe at 100w+ but i reckon even 75w would be ok, main issue is just the psu being incapable so you might run into shutdowns anyway but if you dont then psu upgrade isnt strictly neccesary but if its 10$ might aswell instead of having to deal with returns or complaints

45€ for rx570 powercolor oc here + shipping. 1050ti, 25€ + shipping.

[Marie Rose]

Planning to sell this machine, will just slap a 1050ti gpu in it. I already have 7 pc's in my house.

So it's a timebomb in a potential customers house.  Should work for some time.

[Marie Rose]

I will put 1050ti and underwolt it. Should be good.

god damn 25€ for a 1050ti

you sure its working though?

yep

just put a rather aggresive one that focuses on reducing power draw cause you should probably do an oc to the cpu and rams due to how slow they are

 

i do happen to have that particular asrock board and unfortunatetly seems to be trash at overclocking so probably just run the fsb as high as itll go stabily and be done with it, ram oc wise had issues trying to do 2400 which should be easy on fm2 apus though ill do some tests to see how far itll actually go so you dont have to manually thinker around and do a bunch of testing yourself

Yeah 25e plus shipping here. Cerberus model.
Sweet let me know about the tests!

[Brian McKee]

Man the Nano was a cool flop. Was barely useful for itx builds when it was relevant lol. Still wanted one though.
