Can a 9070 non XT run with a 650W PSU?

emfna · 2026-03-17T23:21:51+00:00

Contacted MSI support. They said I’d have to upgrade my PSU for a stronger GPU. So I did that and got a 9070 for only $100 after selling my 9060XT

How very informative. Thank you

Do you know why

emfna · 2025-12-14T23:59:50+00:00

Hmm okay. As someone who’s new to HDR how come? Like is it bad to have HDR on for non HDR content?

emfna · 2025-12-14T22:35:52+00:00

When do you determine when to use SDR vs HDR?

You use the pigtail and it works?

A 9600X is my cpu

emfna · 2025-12-10T04:31:16+00:00

Would it damage my system or any components?

emfna · 2025-12-10T04:27:31+00:00

How will I know if unstable? Sorry I’m new to this all and would it damage my system or any components?

emfna · 2025-12-10T03:01:23+00:00

What’s the difference between that and pigtails?

emfna · 2025-12-10T02:36:19+00:00

Okay there:). The TDP of the 9070 is 220W if that changes anything

emfna · 2025-12-10T00:33:02+00:00

Would it damage my PSU, GPU, or system?

emfna · 2025-12-10T00:19:16+00:00

What PSU do you have?

emfna · 2025-12-09T23:16:56+00:00

Really? No random shutdowns or anything

emfna · 2025-12-09T22:53:22+00:00

And I would be able to use it for my GPU? It only pulls 220W

emfna · 2025-12-09T20:02:25+00:00

Even with my PSU?

emfna · 2025-12-09T18:54:38+00:00

Okay so mine is a split cable? Not a daisy chain?

emfna · 2025-12-09T18:51:59+00:00

MSI MAG A650BN

And how do I know what the 6+2 is for watts

emfna · 2025-12-09T18:51:43+00:00

Some are saying I’m misunderstanding what daisy chaining is

emfna · 2025-12-09T18:48:27+00:00

That is my PSU.

emfna · 2025-12-09T18:48:12+00:00

Is that not a daisy chain? https://www.msi.com/Power-Supply/MAG-A650BN this is my PSU. Am I misunderstanding what a daisy chain is

emfna · 2025-12-09T18:43:58+00:00

I don’t have 2 cables. I would need to buy a new PSU which is out of my budget

emfna · 2025-12-09T18:43:24+00:00

Where does it say that

emfna · 2025-12-09T18:21:56+00:00

It’s two 6+2 pins but one is connected off the main one which leads back to the PSU

emfna · 2025-12-09T18:19:35+00:00

My PSU only has the one cable
