Need help choosing a power supply

[Therios]

hi , im building a pc that have a ryzen 2700x and an asus strix 1080 what psu should i go with ? 
i found one witch is corsair tx550m 80+ gold for a really good 44$ deal would be enough for my build ?

[Jaxzzzzz]

id go with something that has a bit more power and pay a bit more for it, especially if  you want to OC

[Allupyourfinger]

tx550m should be enough.

 

I would put all of your parts into pcpartpicker.com and see what the estimated wattage is to make sure.

There isnt really any reasom to OC the 2700x of you have a X470 board due to presicion boost 2 . Id still get something a bit more powerfull than 550 watt even though its techincally enough.

 

Yes the 550 watt will work

 

Id get something like this instead:

if you have an x470 board there is no reason not to, the whole point of those is so that you can get good oc performance

The 2700x allready have a sort of "pre-overclocked" setup. The 2700 makes sence to overclock to bring om par with the 2700x. The thing is that you womt get much more than 4,2 on all cores. The 2700x stock configures itself nicely and trade blows with an overclocked versiom of itself

550 Gold from corsair i believe.

if i go with a better psu i will have to downgrade my gpu from a 1080 to a 1070ti 
will it be worth it ?

550W is absolutely plenty for an overclocked Ryzen 1080 Ti system. And he has a much lower power 1080. 

[seon123]

The TX550M is plenty good and has plenty of wattage. Do keep in mind that it's not that quiet. Other than that, it's fine.

No not really. You can squeeze the 1070ti to a stock 1080. But since you are squeezing the 1080 its better to go with the 550. 

 

Tbh most powersuplies are overkill. I picked up a 1000watt on sale for no good reason.

Yes it is a solid PSU, good quality and 550W is all you need.

Actually you'd be surprised to know it's very quiet, my TX650M at least is near soundless... it does do a weird CLICK whenever the system starts or shuts down though which I have never had with any other PSU.

That's an electromechanical relay disconnecting the NTC thermistor from the bulk capacitors, so the inrush current is lower when you turn the PC on next time.

From the results from Cybenetics, it's not very quiet, with 1500RPM under a light load. Some of it will have to do with the 40°C testing, though. But compared to most higher end units, it's definitely louder.

Sure "reviews" "reviews" "reviews" I'm talking about real life comparison with a RM850x side by side with a TX650M and they were near identical...

600B is definitely a no go when the TX is so cheap. In fact, only one lineup of Bronze PSUs from EVGA is actually good, and that's the rare and usually overpriced B2.

G2, in comparison....

[STRMfrmXMN]

The TX550M for that price is a steal. Go ahead. Plenty of power for your system with OC.

Yes, and?!
Then you live on a highway and might not hear it due to enviromental noise, your PC is very loud anyway or are hearing impaired.

So pls stop saying that your point of view is the only right one when objectively it is not.

 

Because its not true. Especially in comparisation with an RM Series!

Those aren't particularly loud, quite the opposite...

Its electrical OK, the noise is on the higher side though....

Real life for only your scenario, which could be one in a thousand. Because in real life scenario there are too many factors for an opinion to mean anything, unless you describe those factors.

 

This could include workload, case, other parts, how sensitive you are, how far away the computer is, what/if headphones are on, environmental noise, and what you define quiet as.

 

Whereas “reviews” or testing will describe the RPM or noise levels with a set methodology so the readers can decide for themselves.

 

For you it may be “quiet”, for many other people it may be “loud”.
