    Hello my first post. I have a question.

    I understand. Thanks. I contacted corsair and powercolor directly. Corsair said that I'll be fine. If I wanted to OC they used the words "juice up" they recommend a 550W psu. I asked if I'll be good long term at 300-350w they said "that is fine" fine is better than ok. Powercolor said silent...

    Hello my first post. I have a question.

    I dont mean to argue and if I'm missing something or not seeing what you guys are trying to tell me I want to understand! So after doing some more looking into my question. I still feel confident that the sf450 platinum psu will be about 100w above what I'll need. As the ryzen 5 2600 shouldn't...

    Hello my first post. I have a question.

    Thank you all for your inputs. I admit I see what your saying about headroom and power draw spikes. I've already ordered the parts a day or so ago. So it's set. However I will continue to educate myself and plan on potentially reselling or if I'm able return the SF450 platinum psu to Amazon and...

    Hello my first post. I have a question.

    The analogy works and so will my PC. Just because you say you've built 100s of PCs doesnt mean you know everything. I've looked into this extensively. I may be wrong and that's ok if I am as I will learn even more with a open mind.

    Hello my first post. I have a question.

    Thanks I appreciate your input. I'm aware that hardware companies recommend certain things like psu wattage. Just like video game companies recommend certain systems specs. Both dont mean if you dont get what's recommended that the system wont be able to do what you want it to do without...

    Hello my first post. I have a question.

    I understand what your saying and your right if one knows they might plan to upgrade/get more power hungry parts then yes a 550-600w psu is what I would recommend also. My next planned upgrade is zen 4. I've never wanted dual GPUs or plan to OC. Thanks for your reply.

    Hello my first post. I have a question.

    I've seen people use the SF450 gold with a 2080 I estimate I'll be at around 69%/300watt max used of the 450w available. I've seen the SF450 gold tested by I believe Johnny guru and he got around 500w from it if memory serves. Side note the screen shot the pc is using a intel 9900k OC to 5Ghz I...

    Hello my first post. I have a question.

    Thanks for the quick response. First time AMD anything guy here. Looking back at my late 2016 i3 6100 gtx 10603GB build I should have waited for ryzen. So amd GPU drivers still have a ways to go? Any suggestions once I build the system in way of drivers? Thanks

    Hello my first post. I have a question.

    I am about to build my second gaming rig and it will be AMD focused. Ryzen 2600 with a rx 5700 red dragon. It will have 16GB ddr4 3000 housed in a core 500 with a sf450 platinum PSU. Also it will have 2 140mm fans and 1 120mm fans all noctua. The CPU will be cooled with NH-l12s. NO OC. Just...
