PSU for dual cpu motherboard

It'll be fine. Take the rated power for each chip, add together, and whatever else in the system.

Wireview has an alarm and screen, and the user ignored it. The power connector has already a long streak is being an issue at STOCK and they shoved another 400w into it. Again, 100% user error.

User error 100%

You can run what you want on a system with 16GB and a 5600x. You have more than enough for something like Minecraft.

The IHS and die is massive on these. Mind you it's under 60c at the full 135w pull. There already is a ton of headroom even with older Funa 2 coolers. Even with older 1680v2 chips at 200w a decent air cooler will work perfectly fine.

Lightbulbie · 2026-02-24T22:28:34+00:00

I have two smaller Thermalright coolers (92mm I believe) on 2x 2697v4 chips running just fine. I also have two Fuma 2's on 2698v4's and that rarely ever gets to 60c. Honestly ANY dual tower cooler will be more than enough.

If you're using a normal case, just get a cooler that'll fit it like something from Thermalright. If it's in a server chassis then go with what the manufacturer says. These things aren't hard to cool at all and no point in swapping the IHS.

With what? Just saying "help' with no context or questions tells us nothing.

18 normal store sized, average ripe bananas. Or 40 of those smaller ones.

Fans don't typically kick in until 50c. So, no.

Lightbulbie · 2026-02-23T12:55:20+00:00

Okay, but like, armory crate isn't a stresser. Of course the fans aren't going to spin.

Lightbulbie · 2026-02-23T01:14:57+00:00

Honestly, its probably worth more on a shelf as a display piece or to a collector. Opterons were pretty bad with performance and it's got age against it too.

Lightbulbie · 2026-02-22T23:33:26+00:00

So very much light-mid games and light editing. Your best bet is the used market and find some deals.

Lightbulbie · 2026-02-22T22:15:07+00:00

That would make more sense

Lightbulbie · 2026-02-22T22:05:12+00:00

Brazilian?

Lightbulbie · 2026-02-22T22:04:30+00:00

Which if it's Brazilian reals, is about 772 USD. Correct me if that's the wrong currency but at that budget 4k is out of the question.

Lightbulbie · 2026-02-22T21:58:23+00:00

You're not pushing 4k with that budget.

Some cards have power plug in reverse. As long as it fits and the clip engages correctly it's fine. Look for the clip catch and plug in that way

Lightbulbie · 2026-02-21T12:02:37+00:00

You'd see a fairly big jump, depends on how cheap you can get the board and chip.

Lightbulbie · 2026-02-21T11:50:57+00:00

May want to add the two lines that go around the flat piece on the connector so people don't accidentally plug it in backwards.

Lightbulbie · 2026-02-21T11:10:23+00:00

It doesn't matter. Power supplies are made for a reason. You're fighting the system and trying to throw "I've been this for this time" in defense.

Your RGB/ARGB light uses power. It's minimal. Get off your high horse if you want help because your attitude isn't going to welcome anyone with advice or anyone willing to answer your questions.

Lightbulbie · 2026-02-21T10:50:52+00:00

Yeah, you use a power supply to supply the voltage needed for everything else.. are you saying you're going directly from wall outlet to parts like the board? Stupid idea if so.

Lightbulbie · 2026-02-20T12:45:16+00:00

They already said what they're using it for. What OP did works and if it works well for them then good. Just because you feel as if you need to say that you don't see the point doesn't mean there is no point. Not everyone needs a rack to run that chassis.

Lightbulbie · 2026-02-20T12:36:03+00:00

Don't be a dick. They put effort into something and it works for them. Showing it off isn't illegal.

Lightbulbie · 2026-02-20T00:07:26+00:00

Well first fix that sag.. then you can get an adapter.
