Will my setup start a fire?

[TheJudg3]

After a decade using notebooks, I came back to PCs.

 

So I started buying parts that I could find deals on, willing to mount a budget gaming pc.

 

Due to a very good price, I bought this PSU:      Corsair CX-430W - CP-9020046-WW 80 Plus Bronze

 

It needs to power this setup:

 

I5-6600K

Z170x Gaming 3 (Gigabyte)

GTX 1060 3gb Zotac (Mini)

SSD Sandisk 240gb Plus

Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3000mhz 2x4GB

212X CoolerMaster CPU Fan

2x120mm Aerocool Fans

Wifi PCI-E Intel Card.

 

Using  Outervision Power Supply Calculater it resulted in the consumption of Recomended PSU Wattage of 334W.    Link to the results: http://outervision.com/b/LzCIJM

 

This build is a budget future proofing on the Mobo and Processor, has a decent GPU and decent Ram capability.

I dont plan to Overclock right away, as I dont need it for now.

 

I think the PSU unity will be working on its limit.

 

My doubts are: Will it even work?

 

What may happen over time? A fire? A dead psu? Other parts damaged?

 

Or am I ok for now?

 

Thanks for the help.

Any powersupply from a large brand won't start a fire.

 

That psu will be fine

A CX430 will power a 1060 fine with endless overclocking.

 

EDIT: Also gotta put the usual "fuck Outervision and all other PSU calculators" out there as that's next to double what your system will be using under nearly any circumstance.

Should be fine. you might not have enough watts to overclock (with overvoltage) anything though.

that PSU isn't the best of quality, but it wont explode., it might simply die and stop working

430W is way more than enough for an i5 and 1060.

So I have low risk of damaging other components and the PSU will probably last for a few years?

Very low. Any psu from corsair or a large brand won't kill anything else.

It is enough. but overvolting CPU and GPU may take too much power. Did you read what I wrote??

My 4770K at a 1.3Vcore takes a max of 150W. plus a GPU which may take another 150 or more with overvolting, plus motherboard fans, etc could get pretty damn close to 430W

Hahaha 

 

 

Here's an i7 + GTX 780 using about 430W at the wall (so the PSU was being demanded of about 365W by the system since PSUs are not 100% efficient) and keep in mind an i5 and 1060 both use drastically less power than both these components.

Here's Guru3D's testing of a GTX 1060 where, under max load the entire GPU consumed 134W. Even if you were extremely generous and doubled the consumption of the GPU (realistically a 1060 isn't going to overclock like mad due to limited potential power draw) you'd never need more than 300W with that sloppy math. 

 

Another "from the wall test" - an old video JayzTwoCents did: His heavily overclocked 3770k and 680 using about 350W from the wall.

 

I could go on. OP will be more than fine.

Wow

Guess I was wrong.

How the fuck did my CPU use so much then? and why does a GTX 1060 have an 8-pin power connector, which supplies 150 Watts? (plus the PCI-E power which is 75) for a total of 225 Watts?

Your CPU doesn't use much, just look at overclocking results from Tom's Hardware or something. And it has an 8-pin as that makes sense to put on there?

The 10 series by nvida is good for minimum power consumption and it's power efficiency. Also like someone said earlier a good brand won't make a psu that would break and if they did you would know due to reviews and news about it.

[TheJudg3]

Is there headroom for pushing the multiplier to something like 44 instead of the stock 40 in this rig? 

 

On that video above, jaytwocents was using an overclocked system, with many fans and a lot of stuff, getting a demand of 350w on load.

 

Maybe, I can try to overlock my cpu to 4.4ghz with my corsair cx 430w. What do you guys think?
