Will this GPU work with my PSU?

[brandino312]

I have an Msi r9 280 that I can put in my new computer.  But I only have a CXcorsair 430w power supply. Will these two work together? I will not be doing any overclocking and btw my processor is a pentium g3258.

Yes, it should work just fine.

 

If you give me a minute I'll calculate it.

 

Actually, I'm not too sure.

You'd be pushing it, I think.

Maybe you could get more help, if you mention what else is in that pc

I doubt that the GPU and CPu themselves take up 430 Watts.

R9 280 draws about 305W under full load. Which for most 450W Power Supplies should be fine. Whether or not a CX Series can handle it is a different question. If it was any other decent Power Supply wouldn't be a problem, but the CX Series is a different story since the CX series cant do its rated wattage on the 12v rail; so the CX430 is a 384W PSU not 430W as the 12v rail cant do more than 384 watts.

You really will be pushing it. Haswell draws a fuckton of power when OC'd, and I doubt you're running that G3258 at stock. If you are, you MIGHT be able to make it work... if your PSU is proper and will deliver 430W all the time.
