Can a 240w power supply run a gtx 1050ti?

[WhoSaidThat]

Ok so im gonna order a gtx 1050ti, but i dont know if i have a big enough power supply my cpu is i-5 6400 2.7GHz 8gb ram ddr3 and my pc is a dell inspiron 3650, please help

[Sentryy]

don't think so, might need an upgrade

[Moress]

You would be pushing extremely close to your PSU's limit as the 6400/1050ti consume an estimated 140w by themselves. That leaves only 100w for all other components. 

I would suggest against it.

[Droidbot]

it should work fine. that's a 65w TDP CPU, and the 1050Ti pulls around 60-70w from the PCIe slot. 

entire system should add up to around 200w. 

 

people say 'oh lol that won't work' - 3770+1050Ti in a prebuilt dell, a common system, hits 75w under load without the GPU, for a total under load with the GPU of 160ish watts. 500GB7200RPM HDD inside.

For future reference, you can use this.

I probably would err on the side of caution and not use it. 

Pushing a PSU too far can be dangerous whether you blow a cap or fuse or it just dies. i wouldn't want the potential power spike ruing my other hardware.

so it will work?

and if so do you guys know a power supply taht will fit my pc becasue i couyldnt find any

Who's the OEM on that Dell PSU? If it's Delta, I would trust the unit to actually handle close to 240W. If it's anyone else, not a chance.

 

I'd feel better about the load if you had a 6400T. If the PSU can actually push 240W--and that's not a given--you're probably ok.

what do you mean by if its anyone else

No, that's about as proprietary as even Dell PSUs get. Your best option for a PSU upgrade might be to set your better PSU on the table behind the PC and run the cables through the hole in the back where the original PSU was, if that makes sense.

It's a custom PSU, so I don't think any PSUs besides the Dell unit will work in it. 

 

However, PCPerspective has actually gotten one of your systems and used a 1050Ti in it, see here: https://www.pcper.com/reviews/Graphics-Cards/Upgrade-Story-2-Using-GTX-1050-Ti-convert-OEM-PC-Gaming-PC

If it's manufactured by any OEM other than Delta (the "manufactured by" should be on the sticker), I would be highly suspect of that PSU's ability to carry 240W.

 

Remember to quote people when you reply, or we'll never know to look back at this thread and answer you.

I doubt it, honestly. Big companies like Dell and HP usually have pretty decent power supplies in their systems that are rated quite honestly. 240W is not anything too impressive, so I quite firmly believe that's an honest rating. I highly doubt he'll have any problem running that GPU of his. Plus the computer's load probably will be around 125W when gaming, so really it shouldn't be any problem.

[HKZeroFive]

Seeing how your PC is a Dell prebuilt, it's safe enough to say that your PSU is from a decent OEM (such as Delta or Chicony) and isn't a piece of crap that can't supply enough power on the 12V rail.

 

240W is more than enough for a i5-6400 and a GTX 1050Ti. You'd be fine.

I had an HP power supply die on me for no reason once, and a 300w dell PSU I used to have struggled over 150w, took a couple of tries to get it to stay on.

I've seen a Corsair RMx blow up, too. That doesn't make me recommend them any less.

Dell PSUs are the best on the market

Dell PSUs are the best, running a GTX 660Ti on a 300W Optiplex

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

In my signature is my media PC. It's got a 250W SFF power supply.

 

I'm running a 120W GTX 55Ti OVERCLOCKED and an i5 3470 with 8GB RAM, as well as an ODD and two hard drives. Never had any problems.

 

I'm also running a GT 620 at the same time in a cut 1x slot.

 

I ran a GTX 580 in a 300W PSU just fine.

It will work and you can still add more hardware like additional drives or PCI USB cards

[WhoSaidThat]

so you mean i can add a gtx 1050ti
