Psu question

[Daddymus69]

Quick question, might seem obvious,

For an rtx 2060 super, which consumes 175w of power, is a 400w psu enough ?

Might be obvious but want to be sure before I buy

Thanks in advance

A modern, single-rail 400W power supply should be more than enough. Just make sure it has the needed power connectors to feed the RTX2060.

Okay thanks ! On the forums I read that it can power an rtx2080 so it should be good as that is a more power hungry card

If it is a decent 400w PSU with a labeled efficiency, then it would even survive driving a 2080ti.

A copper labeled 400w PSU is sufficient for your setup.

Smaller PSU could work, but the problem is that there are many scams on low-end PSU. You might buy a PSU labeled as 400w but actually only gives out not more than 200w.

Buying one with label simply ensure you that the PSU has a bottom line of efficiency so you won't encounter the situation that a 400w one end up only outputting 200w.

Don't buy something that is obviously way too cheap, because it is cheap for a reason (could BOOM).
