Can a 460 watt with liquid cooling power supply run this spec

intel 17-7700 with gtx 1060 6gb

 

the sales person told me it would be a problem since it has liquid cooling

Liquid cooling doesn't consume much power. It depends in the psu model. 460w is an odd no and I don't recall any 460w psu out there that are decent. They will work but not something recommended.

You have liquid cooling in your PSU? Dang dawg, that's extreme!

 

 

 

Yes, 460W is enough for a 7700 and a 1060, a pump and a couple of fans don't draw that much power.

That sales person sounds like an idiot, but then again he sold you a i7 7700 paired with a 1060 and a probably very cheap power supply.... not the best combo me thinks

Which exact PSU you have in mind? Just because there is 460W on the packaging doesn't always mean it can handle 460W, there is a lot of sketchy marketing with many sketchy manufacturers in the PSU industry.

psu bveen upgraded to 460 watt with liquid cooling instead of fan

and gtx 1060 intead of rx 480

the chassis option does not add liquid cooling the power supply,

it adds an aio(all in one) to the case for cooling the processor

 

it's just a plain 460w power supply

 

your power supply does not matter for the number of monitors, both will get there power from the mains(wall socket)

 

hope i helped a little.

I'm not sure why, but if you scroll to the bottom of the configuration it shows 2 power supplies for this build....

 

#1.) 460watt may be enough, but it's way too close for my liking and would NEVER have my margin of power available to power usage be that close.

 

#2.) You could build this PC yourself, and probably save yourself a couple hundred dollars
