520W is more than enough for that system

Posted

Hey guys, 

I am throwing together a silent computer part list for kicks but i am stuck on the power supply. 

In the part list I have an i7 6700k and a 980. I know that Linus used this power supply in his build guide but its only 520 whats and i am not sure if it would Handel it correctly without issues I may build this system and use parts from my previous one to do this. Not sure yet.

Thanks

Imo, go for a Supernova and use Eco mode. Even with everything in my system highly overclocked, I don't recall the fan ever turning on

Would it be enough if i upgraded the 980 to a 980ti? If i do build this id also like to overclock the cpu to 4.7.

More than enough still

you can do submerged system which would eliminate noise generation from the mechanical components

I am too scared to do that because you cant easily go back, and getting a case for it and all that is such a bother. Thanks for the Idea though.

get normal PSU, get some cutters, open PSU and rip out fan. honstly not a good idea but its something :P

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.
