Posted October 1, 2018 So i am planning on getting a Vega 56 and in know they are power hungry so i just want to if my psu will be enough.If i need a new psu could you recommend a cheap but good psu.I also have an i5 4590 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 1, 2018 It use 210w, so probably yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted October 1, 2018 The Vega 56 will be a bottleneck for that i5 and the Corsair VS series is concidered rather crap, so those are both things to consider here. Yes, in its current state, your PC will work with the Vega card, albeit at reduced performance. PC Specs - AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D - MSI B550M Mortar - 32GB Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR4-3600 @ CL16 - ASRock RX7800XT - 660p 1TBGB & Crucial P5 1TB - Fractal Define Mini C - CM V750v2 - Windows 11 Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 1, 2018 The VS power supply line is quite unreliable. Get a Corsair CX 550 to replace it. Also, you're pairing a modern high end graphics card with an old mid end CPU, that's just asking for an unbalanced system. What graphics card do you currently use? I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B Primary PC: i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me. Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference. How many watts do I need?

I think an i7 4790 would be good to get from the used market, and if you want something more modern, get a ryzen 5 2600 on a B350 or an i5 8400 on a B360.

I might not be a power supply expert, but one shouldn't have to go to a link archive whenever giving hardware advice.

I might not be a power supply expert, but one shouldn't have to go to a link archive whenever giving hardware advice. We all know where the tier list is, but it doesn't say the VS is "unreliable". You specifically stated that the VS is "unreliable", which would tend to suggest that they have a high failure rate. Unless you mis-spoke. We don't know how long the OP has had his VS. It would be good to know that and if he's had any issues previously that would suggest that it is somehow "unreliable". I'm not sure if the Vega 56 has the same transient spikes that the Vega 64 has. This would be a concern. 650W is more than enough power and the VS650 is rated to output 650W continuously unlike a lot of other cheap PSUs on the market today. I would suggest the OP get the card and run some benchmarks on it (I suggest Catzilla since it has a lot of transient spikes) to see if there's any abnormal behavior before shitting on his PSU.

I suposse you're right about my wording, the quality is what is in question as opposed to reliability. I did once seek the efficiency curve of the VS series, and it appears many corsair PSUs are most efficient at 30%, but I couldn't find the VS specifically. Hopefully a non-certified PSU doesn't lose all too much efficiency at higher loads, or else a high power draw system is far from ideal.

Depending on where you live a Bitfenix Formula, Cougar GX-F, be quiet Straight Power 11 are good options, 550W or more.
