Threadripper&Vega On My 750

[The Blackhat]

So, I recently found an incredible deal on a threadripper system, and am also looking at upgrading my gpu, currently all I have is a 1050 ti and my psu is a Corsair CX750M. I was planning an upgrade to Vega 64 and I feel like it will barely be enough but have next to no headroom, the Threadripper is a 1920X, and I just didn’t want to upgrade my psu yet, will it be fine like I think?

No. I wouldn't trust that PSU with either. 

 

You can afford a good PSU if you can afford that Threadripper system. That's a low end PSU designed for low end parts.

 

Why Vega 64, BTW? A 1080/1070 Ti would probably be better, and the Vega 56 OCed pretty much reaches the same tier of performance

Because I’ve found good deals on Vega, I may decide to go for a 56 in the end but I certainly won’t be going back to nVidia, but to the low end parts comment, yes, I agree, however a new psu was less of a priority at the time than raw performance, the psu worked and worked well, so I kept it, and a note on affording threadripper, I’m more or less selling my current components and buying a local Cpu Mobo and Cooler combo, for effectively the same price

Buying and AMD GPU in 2018 seems insane to me. I think that PSU would be fine with that system as long as you're not overclocking.

I am overclocking, but I’m undervoltig the gpu to save myself some thermal and power headroom

That's just you.

Especially when Freesync comes to TV there is another Reason for AMD cards.

And its already on the way to XBox One X...

Not really, the CX750W isn't something I'd use on a high end system like yours.

 

I'd get a good 750W unit like Bitfenix Whisper M, be quiet Straight Power 11 or Dark Power Pro P11.

Good points, it was either stick with what I have for a little while, or buy something like an hx series psu
