How to Find out SMPS / PSU Requirement for your PC
SMPS or PSU is one of the most important parts of your desktop PC. A good and proper capacity power supply is required for providing sufficient power to all your computer components so that they function properly even at full load.
SMPS or PSU comes in different wattage (W) and with different amount of current listed on 12V Rail. The amount of current on 12V Rail is the most important and deciding factor when choosing a SMPS. It is so because all the major components like CPU, Graphics Card, Hard Disk, Fans etc. draw their power from 12V Rail. Every SMPS has different amount current listed on 12V rail but you should note that this current must be sufficient enough for a SMPS or PSU of certain Wattage. This means that a 400W SMPS should have at least 30A listed on its 12V rail, a 500W should have 40A or more and so on.
12V Rail and Current Listed on it
The 12V Rail in a SMPS may or may not be divided into smaller units and if it is divided then these types of PSUs are known as multiple 12 rail power supplies.

Finding out your Power Supply Requirement
You must know that every PC has its own power requirements and for that power supplies of different capacities are available in the market. So for different PC configuration, power supply having a particular capacity is generally used. For example a PC requiring up to 400 Watt, you can use a PSU of 400W – 450 Watt but if you use a PSU of 300 Watt for that then you should face many problems like restarting, reduced performance and also you will be at a greater risk of damaging your computer components. So it is safer to use the higher capacity PSU rather than using the lower capacity one for the given power requirements of your PC. So here in this post I will show you on how to select the proper capacity SMPS for your PC.
Components that Draws Major Power in your PC
Below are the components that draws or uses major amount of power from your SMPS.
Processor
Graphics Card
Hard Disk
Fans
From the above components, Graphics Card consumes or draws the maximum amount of power when playing games or running graphics intensive applications.
SMPS / PSU Power Requirement Table
Here is a useful table to find out a rough estimate on your SMPS requirement. Please note that here I am only talking of branded power supplies only.
| CPU / Processor | Graphics Card | Number of Hard disks | RAM | Number of Cabinet Fans | SMPS Requirement | |
| PC1 | Dual Core | None | 1 | 2 GB – 4 GB | 1 | 350W – 400W |
| PC2 | Dual Core / Quad Core | Entry Level to Mainstream Graphics Card | 2 | 4 GB or more | 2 | 400W – 450W |
| PC3 | Mid-range Dual Core / Quad Core / Multi Core | Mid-Range Graphics Card | 2 | 4 GB or more | 3 | 500W – 600W |
| PC4 | High-end Quad Core / Multi Core | High End Graphics Card | 3 | 8 GB or more | 3 – 4 | 650W – 700W or more |
If you are still unsure about your SMPS requirement then you can ask me by leaving a comment below, clearly stating your PC configuration.

8 Gb ddr3 Ram
gtx 750ti graphic card
500 Gb hard disk
asus motherboard
You are still using a very bad PSU i.e. Zebronics 450W and you should upgrade your PSU to Corsair VS450 or Cooler Master Thunder 450W as soon as possible.
Can you send me your zebronic 450w psu image?
sorry i don’t have it
Motherboard Asus x99 deluxe / x99 Pro

This is my configuration can please suggest a smps for this configuration. or PC4 configuration is enough for this configuration
I advise you to go for either Antec VP650P or Corsair RM650 SMPS
i-5 2310 2.9ghz 8gb ram ddr3 1333mhz 1tb hdd gtx 750ti asus p8 h61 motherboard of and also tell me is my cpu and motherboard good for mid range 1080p gaming out do I need to upgrade anytime soon
your cpu and motherboard is ok as of now. for smps you should go for Corsair VS550
How much psu in watt i need if i want to build a xeon pc with one processor and a dual cpu motherboard and later upgrade it with two cpu and one gpu with it and maybe two gpu in future for crossfire or sli
please list the gpu models, then i can tell.
Ooh and um could you tell me if these symptoms mean my 3 year old smps is failing
1. Sometimes the fans power up after pressing the power button but the computer does not show the cpu red indicator light or boot moreover when this happens the fans too stop spinning after 1or 2 seconds
2. The fans keep spinning after the computer shuts down
3. Sometimes the computer mysteriously loses power(evens fans don’t spin nothing gets power and then reboots or atleast tries to reboot but someone’s during this attempted reboot sometimes it succeeds and sometimes the problems in point 1 are shown
May be. which SMPS do you have?
Dunno probably some local one but it’s a 450 watt psu hopefully it’s not the motherboard
If it is local one then the problem lies with your PSU only. Get yourself Corsair VS450 power supply
My build
AMD Phenom II X4 955BE
4GB 1333 DDR3 RAM
Seagate Baracuda 1TB HDD
Powercolor R7 250x
I have used power supply calculator http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator to find out the max wattage of my build. it came upto 386 watts at full load.
I saw many positive reviews on VS450 and then i came across your blog and read some articles.
What I want to know is would VS450 be enough for my build ?
I am on a really really tight budget and the price seems to be very much attractive (2.5K at the moment).
If you are using VS450 could you say what build you are using the PSU on ?
I have done the wattage calculation on most of the cheap PSU’s like you’ve written in your blog it only comes in as peak power, which is not good.
This my first buy. Have to be very careful, thats why asking in detail.
Love your blog and your articles. Very much informative.
Hello
For your current build Corsair VS450 is sufficient. In future if you change your graphics card to a high end one then only you have to move to a good 550-600 Watt PSU.

Hello,
For Motherboard -> ASUS H170-PRO
Graphics Card -> ASUS STRIX-GTX960-DC2OC-2GD5
For SMPS if you want in Cooler Master then go for Cooler Master Thunder 500W but i would personally advise you to go for Antec VP550P which far better than Cooler Master all in terms of performance, quality and reliability. You can get it at here http://www.amazon.in/Antec-VP550P-550-Watts-PSU/dp/B00565RGQA/?tag=aksha0b-21
Thanks for the guidance.
Take care.
Just to add with my last post, I am going to use 2xInlet fan & 2xOutlet fan (120mm) with the cabinet and stock cooling for the CPU.
Regards.
i have Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G2020 @2.90 GHZ ……. 4GB RAM …32 bit operating system…. x64 based processor
which graphic card is best for my pc ??
how much is your budget for graphics card?
umm….. around rs6000……max rs6500
Then I would advise you to get Zotac Geforce GT 730 2GB DDR5. This is the best card you can get in this budget. You can buy it online at great price here http://www.amazon.in/ZOTAC-NVIDIA-DDR5-Graphics-Card/dp/B00L61VGPU/?tag=aksha0b-21
would i able to play games released in 2015 ?? 😛
which games? please specify the games you want to play
Gtx 1650 is good for gaming..?
Yes, good for 1080p gaming.
basically fifa, PES and modern combat …..
Yes you can play them easily on that card.
thank you so much (Y)
My system is intel pentium dual core E5200 @2.50ghz processor
intel DG41TY Motherboard (ddr2)
3gb ddr2 ram
Zebronic 450w psu
Does zotac nvidia geforce gt 730 2gb ddr5 graphic card which is pcie 2.0x 8 lanes support my motherboard ?
Is zebronic 450w psu is ok for running the graphic card?
Not at all. Never use Zebronics PSU with any graphics card or a PC even without a graphics card. I would strongly advise you to get Corsair VS450 PSU. Read more about it here https://www.akshatblog.com/corsair-vs450-review-best-budget-branded-smps/
Thank you sir and one more question
intel DG41TY (ddr2) motherboard
Does zotac nvidia geforce gt 730 2gb ddr5 graphic card which is pcie 2.0x 8 lanes support my motherboard ?
Yes GT 730 will run fine on Intel DG41TY Motherboard.
Does a ddr2 motherboard support a ddr5 graphic card?
Motherboard RAM type has nothing do with Graphics Card. The only requirement is that your motherboard should be having PCI Express x16 slot.
Thank you sor for your answers.
Can i be able to play Gta 5 on nvidia gt 730 2gb ddr5 graphic card and at what settings?
Yes but on low to medium settings
I have one 1Tb hardisk and 320 gb hardisk.Can you please tell how much watt of SMPS does it require???
Please tell me your processor and do have graphics card installed (if yes then specify the model)?
My system is intel pentium dual core E5200 @2.50ghz processor
intel DG41TY Motherboard (ddr2)
4gb ddr2 ram
Corsair VS 450w psu
Does zotac nvidia geforce GTX 750 ti 2gb ddr5 graphic card support my motherboard ?
Yes it supports your motherboard.
My dg41ty motherboard is pcie x 1.1 slot and the graphic card is pcie x 3.0 that is what my doubt.
It will run fine but you may suffer a slight loss in performance because of PCIe x1.1 slot.
Can i will be able to run gta 5 wwe 2k16 assassins creed syndicate far cry 4 at what settings and fps?
Yes you will be able to run them but on medium kind of settings. FPS would be around 30 – 45 fps.
Which quad core processor can support intel DG41TY motherboard?
May be Q6600 and Q9550.
I have assembled PC with i7 4790 ,3.6 Ghz processor, Mother board GA H97 D3H,8GB Ram ,1TB HD external, 500gb Internal HDD, 24″ Dell LED monitor, corsair VS 550watt SMPS. My system frequently restart whenever put on A/C . should I change SMPS to solve the problem of restart of system.

1. Do i have to purchase new SMPS or will that be enough.
2. Do I need single rail or dual rail. I play lots of game and my PC be on 18 hrs every day.
3. Kindly suggest Best SMPS
Note: after your forum i checked my circle smps it show +12V1 32A max, 0.5A min and there is no dual rail e.g. +12V2.
Hello Naved,
Thanks for your kind words. Well looking at your computer specifications and your gaming needs & routine I strongly suggest that you buy a good branded SMPS. Single Rail SMPS are better when handling sudden large load especially during gaming. You can read more about single rail and dual rail smps here https://www.akshatblog.com/single-vs-multiple-12v-rail-smps-psu-comparison/. For you i would advise you to get Corsair VS50 and you can get it here http://www.amazon.in/Corsair-VS-VS550-Watt-SMPS/dp/B00DQ5OB4C/?tag=aksha0b-21

Akshat
Thanks for providing prompt feedback.. I would like to know difference between Corsair VS series and CX series (Not CXM).
Antec are mostly dual Rail.. but u think that it VS 550 will be sufficient.. also what shall i do with the existing smps…
VS is the value series or entry level series from Corsair. But that does not mean that they are not good. CX is the mid-range series and is 80 plus bronze certified. They are a bit expensive too.You can read more about them at here
https://www.akshatblog.com/corsair-smps-psu-range-from-budget-to-high-end/
https://www.akshatblog.com/smps-or-psu-80-plus-certification-explained-in-detail/
Antec is on the top when it comes to SMPS. There is not much of performance difference between single rail and dual rail SMPS. Yes Corsair VS550 will be more than enough for your system. Keep your existing SMPS with you as backup.
Thanks for your response.. Appreciate your hard work..

May be i add addon graphics card+HDD/SDD+ODD later?
Thank You
I can’t seem to understand why your display is not coming because Corsair VS450 is enough for your current specs. If you really want to buy to buy a new SMPS the go for Antec VP550P to remain future proof. You can get it here http://amzn.to/2msgAbp
Sir my motherboard is Intel DG41TY which is already having a 320 gb hdd and 250 gb hdd.
My question is can i be able to add 2tb segate hdd to this? will my motherboard DG41TY support 2tb hdd?
Yes it can support it but make sure you have a good SMPS installed on your PC.
yes sir i have corsair VS 450 smps.
Then it is well and good.
Thank you sir.
Sir will i5 7500 processor support windows 7?
No it does not support Windows 7. It only supports Windows 10 and higher.
Sir will i5 6500 processor support windows 7?
yes it will..
I have a nvidia gefotce gt 730 4GDDR3 GPU,i3 processor,Seagate baraccuda1TB HDD,4GB RAM.Will Corsair vs450w psu support my pc?

Asus B350M-A Prime
16gb ddr4 hyperx ram
Zotac nvidia GTX 1050TI
Segate 2tb hdd
My question can i use Corsair VS 450 SMPS for this PC?
It should work fine but it would be better to go Corsair VS550
But currently i am having Corsair VS 450 in my old computer can i use this psu for 2 more years in the ryzen build?
You can use it but your graphics card should not consume more than 75W of power
I am going to use Zotac GTX 1050Ti only which is 75w power sir.
because my monitor is 1400X900 p resolution and it has only VGA port.
ok then it will do
Sir my Motherboard is Intel DG41TY and I have a pentium dual core E 5200 Processor does Zotac Nvidia GTX 1050TI 4GB Graphics card support my Motherboard and processor?
It should run fine with your motherboard and processor.
But if there will be slight performance decrease in my games sir? due to pcie express 1.1 slot the graphics card is pcie 3.0?
Yes there will be a slight issue in performance but not much or noticeable.
Thank you sir.
Hi,
I am planning to assemble a pc. When i see indian cpu cabinets like intex, zebrobics, etc, they have smps mount upside. And i want to install branded smps like corsair vs450. But the fan of this smps is at bottom. So it will exhaust the heat into the cabinet. Will it affect the pc. Else, please suggest me some cheap cabinets that have smps mount down at bottom of cabinet. Thanks in advance:)
The bottom mounted fan in these SMPS / PSUs is not an exhaust fan but a blower type fan that throws air on the smps components. So you can fit these PSUs in any normal ATX cabinet whether Indian or not.
Oh! thanks for clearing my confusion. But it would blow the air released from cpu heatsink fan. I think that air will not do much cooling of smps. Isn’t it?
It should be fine so don’t worry about it.
I have one 2 GB ram , Intel dual core processor and motherboard, 1 hdd of 500 gb,…what kind of smps is needed for these requirement. Is 500 watt or higher than 500 watt ok with these configuration.
You need only a good 350W to 400W SMPS.
Intel I5 7400+msi h110 pro vh plus mobo +8gb ram+asus gtx 750ti 2 gb oc my current smp iball marathon 500w can i upgrade or enough this smp
I strongly suggest to go for a better SMPS. I recommend Corsair VS450.
Sir I am going to build a new pc
Intel Pentium G4560 3.5 Ghz Processor
Gigabyte H110M S2 Motherboard
Crucial 8 Gb Ram
Zotac nvidia GTX 1050 Ti Mini 4 Gb Graphic Card.
Corsair VS 450 Watt SMPS
Is this system ok for playing games or i should look for another pc?
Your PC looks fine. You will be able to play latest games on high settings at 1080p.
Thank you Sir.
Sir,
GIGABYTE H110M S2 or GIGABYTE H110M DS2 which motherboard can i choose for my gaming pc with Pentium G4560 Processor?
Go with the GIGABYTE H110M S2 only.
Sir What is the difference between GIGABYTE B250M-D2V and GIGABYTE H110M S2, which is best for Pentium G4560?
The main difference is of chipset. B250 is a higher and better chipset for gaming compared to H110.

I bought new AMD ryzen 3 1300x, Corsair vebgeance LPX 8gb, MSI A320M Pro-VD/S Mother Board
Can I use my old dual core/c2d smps and cabinet in this new configuration?
Please tell me your SMPS and Cabinet model.
cabinet is Odyssey
smps is CIL-ODYSSEY-MARCH.2011 450W Model 450 PA 10091
Cabinet is fine but need to get a better SMPS. I recommend Corsair VS450.
I don’t want to purchase extra smps if this current smps works than it is best option for me.
I don’t think it will work because it has got 4-pin ATX 12V CPU connector and your motherboard requires 8-pin.
Hi
Howmany watts smps required for i5 7th generation processor 8gb ram 2 tb hd gigabyte 250m d3h motherboard. Please suggest me. Thanking you
A good 400W SMPS is enough for this. I suggest you to go for Corsair VS450.

Yes you need to change your SMPS to a good one. I suggest you to get Corsair VS450 SMPS.

Corsair VS450 should be enough for your new config.

It can be due to various reasons that include faulty RAM, bad Hard drive, video card, corrupt windows systems files or may be a faulty SMPS.
Things you need to do:
1. Check hard disk health using CrystalDiskInfo (https://crystalmark.info/en/software/crystaldiskinfo/)
2. Reseat your RAM and graphics card
3. Check and Repair Windows system files using sfc /scannow command
after installation graphics card driver cd machine starting normally but when sometime it’s hanging due to put in dvd and pen drive in my pc,,,sometime blue screen shown in my pc and crash memory has come and automatically machine has restarted,,,My HDD purchased recently and memory 8 gb,,,ATI and ZEON Ram installed in my pc both are 4 GB,,,I dnt know why my pc is hanging also shown as device driver not installed and no sound has come in windows,,,
Reinstall Windows and also try booting it with different RAM.
I check everything and it’s ok like Ram,HDD,SMPS,,Graphics Card,,but my pc still now automatically restart and blue screen has come and never to go in windows option,,,My windows installation save defaults in D drive how can I change it C drive defaults through command prompt,,,
Try deleting the partitions and recreate them again.
I found my pc hanging problem ant it’s about RAM problem but both slot install different RAM like ADATA and ZION when I remove one and reinstall Windows again it’s works fine but after 2 days same hanging problem has been issues,,I search in google which is the actual Ram required for the core i5 -2320 2nd generation DDR3 pc then some listed shown there like Corsair,,Black Diamond,kingston,Dell and others,but ADATA and Zion not listed there Now will you tell me which particulars Ram required for my pc,,,kindly help me
My motherboard specification-
Intel core-i5 -2320 2nd Generation
Motherboard model -DH61WW
Your motherboard supports DDR3 1066/1333/1600MHz(OC) RAM and any compatible RAM will regardless of the brand. However, I do recommend to always go for branded RAM such as Corsair, Kingston, Hynix, Crucial, ADATA.
Many Many thanks to you,,
You are welcome.
Sir i3 7th gen
4tb + 4tb+4tb(7200 RMP), 2 CPU FAN,
64 RAM(16*4 DDR4) ,1Nvme(250gb),
No graphic card
1 external lan card,
Currently I am using Dell 250w SMPS
24*7 system is running
do i need to upgrade
Actually I am using this system as home NAS
Please gaude
No need to upgrade PSU unless you plan on adding a graphics card.
after reading this page i want to inform you im using a 250w intex psu with i5 and 8gb ram 2-HDD with gt730 gpu should i shutdown my pc instantly
I suggest you to get a better one.
I’m using i5 9400f GTX 1650 and 64 gb ram how many smps would I need?
A good 450W SMPS should be enough. I suggest Corsair VS450.
Hello Akshat ,
Hope you are well in this pandemic , Akshat I am confused about choosing right UPS , though I am using APC Br1500G /1500VA . so can you please guide is that proper which I am using or any thing good would be preferable . System Configuration mentioning Below .
Motherboard- gigabyte Auros Z270X-Gaming 7
Processor – Intel I5 7500 7Th gen .
RAM -24 GB Corsair Vengeance
PSU- Cooler Master Silent Pro 1000W M2
HDD -12TB
No Graphics card Included using System Shared graphics 2 GB of graphics Intel HD Graphics 630
ATX Motherboard / Mid tower Cabinet of Zebronics matrix
32” Monitor Sony Bravia Full HD .
That’s it .
So is APC UPS is good for that config or better require for that same .
Please suggest
I think APC Br1500G should be enough for your system.
Sorry, I have a different question – if I put in a high wattage power supply (mine is, I think, 500W), it won’t DAMAGE the motherboard or other parts, will it? Like, there is only a maximum that the motherboard can take? If the physical plug of the power supply goes INTO the motherboard, then they are compatible, right? The whole thing *must*, necessarily, work? (My mobo is age-wise new, but for an old 2.8 Ghz chip – cheap, 2K Zebronics mobo).
Thanks for your help.
A high wattage power supply will not damage your motherboard. The power draw from the PSU is dependent on the components.
Processor model – Intel i5 10400 10th Gen (6core)
Mbd model H410MS2
RAM – 16 GB 3000 mHZ

Which SMPS I need to buy

Corsair VS450 will be enough for your build.

Sir, I’m building a pc with msi h310m pro vdh plus, i5 9th gen and gt710 graphic card for basic use(as the company is forcing me to use i5 9th gen or later where core 2 duo is enough for that basic application). Can I go with basic smps and cabinet or else I’ve to buy premium cabinet. I’m very tight on budget and spent 35k on the remaining components. Now 1k is also very big thing as 4500 will be difference if I install cooler master cabinet and smps
What is your budget for the SMPS and cabinet?
As i said before, i can invest a maxiumun of 2.5 to 3k on both sir
The best cheapest SMPS that I can recommend is Ant Esports VS500L. It will cost you at around 2K. Rest 1K to 1.2K you can use to buy a cheap Zebronics cabinet.
Bro , iam buying a new cpu , I have the following configuration , which SMPS shouild I use
Intel i3 – 10gen
Asus 410 mother board

My system started to fully hang or freez on April 2021 and I checked it and I need to change my motherboard gigabyte ga b250m d3h because it was my boards problem.
I’m thinking of taking gigabyte h110m motherboard but not sure it will support the SMPS – cooler master bronze v2 750w.
What do u think?
Yes, they are compatible.
Well sir, I used a powerx h110m motherboard and it showed some problems like after system shutdown the cpu still running. So I was wondering using gigabyte h110m board is a good idea or not?
Well, Gigabyte is a reliable brand and I think you should be good.
Is fingers 450 w SMPS fine sir
No, but Ant Esports VS500L should be fine.
please suggest me PSU for my components .my components are
1.Asus B85m-e

A good branded 450W SMPS should be enough. Get one from Corsair or Cooler Master.

Hello Akshat Sir,
I have
1) Processor i5-4460
2) 20 GB RAM
3) One 240gb Samsung SSD, One 6TB HDD, two 2 TB HDDs, two 1TB HDDs attached
Can you please suggest a good SMPS so that all my hdds work without any power issues.
I would suggest Antec Atom V450 450W SMPS.
ok.. but I have Cooler Master – Model rs-600-acab-b1 (600W)..I was having occasional clicking sound in one of my HDD even though health of all hdd was good. I removed two HDD load and everything seems OK now… So I thought I will need something more than 600W. Should I replace this cooler master?
Well, 450W is enough but if you can spend a little more then better get the Corsair VS600. The clicking noise from HDD is very serious and it can arise because of a faulty power supply.
Hello Akshat,
These are my specs
i7 8700 3.2ghz
Asus z370m D3h motherboard
24 gb ram
GTX 1650 4GB Gpu
I currently have a 500w smps.
My PC runs smoothly for hours, but I face this problem every time I play a game for about 5 minutes max and when I export videos above 500mb in Adobe premier pro, the display goes black while CPU keeps running. I cannot restart or do anything. I’d have to switch off the CPU from the power button.
Is this because of GPU or SMPS problem? I recently installed this new GPU and since then I’m facing this problem. There’s seems to be no problem at all if I do not run games or export videos from premiere pro.
What SMPS do you have (model & wattage)?
Mastercooler 500 230v
Try the following:
1. Re-seat the Graphics Card
2. Re-seat the RAM
3. Remove the graphics card and monitor your system without it.
4. If possible, test your PC with another SMPS.
Hi Akshat, hope you’ll reply. So apparently whenever i start my pc the display shows me the my motherboard intro(i.e GIGABYTE insist ultra durable) and then the display goes NO SIGNAL and the cpu keeping on running. Sometimes after pressing the start button the fan and system runs and suddenly stops after few seconds then it does this for 2-3 times and then start but again with no display but system working. my vga wires are fine but i dont know whats the issue. Is the power supply issue? I have zeb-450WIDSATA. Pls help me find solution
It could be an issue with the power supply. What is system configuration? Also, I would advise you to reseat your RAM and check again.

There could be multiple reasons for this so proper diagnosing is needed. Try removing and installing the RAM and check again.
I did that but still the result is the same.
Sir, can you suggest me graphics card from budget to mid-level one suitable for corsair cv550 watt smps

Hi brother,
I would like to upgrade my old desktop with a few parts. I’ve already changed the Smps and Hard Disk, 2years back ,when issue arised due to them with “Artis VIP400R+ 400WSMPS” Max Power 310W and “WD 1TB HD”. So without changing them I would like to replace the “mother board”, “processor” and “ram”. I need it for personal use and for my son’s school learning, not for any heavy gaming purposes.
Can you please suggest me a proper compatible combination of the parts within ₹15K. Also please suggest a mother board having inbuilt Wi-Fi.
Here are components
Intel Pentium G6400 Processor
MSI H510M-A PRO Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB DDR4 RAM 3200MHz
For Wi-Fi, you can get Wireless USB Adapter like TP-Link Nano USB WiFi Dongle 150Mbps High Gain Wireless Network Wi-Fi Adapter (TL-WN722N)
Motherboard MSI Z690 Tomahawk Wi-Fi DDR5
RAM KINGSTON 32GB (5200Mhz) DDR5 – 4 = 128 gb
RTX 3090 24GB
CPU Cooler Lian Li Galahad 360 ARGB AIO (White)
Primary Storage 1TB Nvme SSD WD Blue SN570 – 1
Cabinet Lian Li Lancool 2 Mesh (White) – 1
27″ LG 4K Model 27UL500 – 1
Power Supply Deepcool DQ850-M-V2L Gold – 1
will this smps of 850 w sufficicent or do I need to go for 1200 watt – smps- cooler master
I think it should be sufficient if you don’t overclock.
i am using Maya 2023 of autodesk and having performance issue, system is not working smoothly and hanged some time
I an using i5 4570 with 2+1 TB HDD + 128gb SSD + 4*2 GB RAM + GT 610 Graphics card. And powered by 400w Circle PSU.
With this configuration i face a problem with my new 2TB HDD (it disconnects and connects frequently)
So is there any power supply issue? Please help!!
Motherboard is of Gigabyte H81-M-WW
Yes, it could be an issue with the power supply.
I am using i5 2nd Gen with 2 x 1 TB HDD + 240gb SSD + 4*2 GB RAM + 5 Fans. And powered by 450w SMPS
Display issues.
If I remove fan connections it’s working
Solution pls
What is your SMPS model and brand?
I am buying the following configuration. Please suggest a PSU and UPS.
i9 13900K, Nvidia rtx 4070 ti, Gigabyte Z790 Arous Elite AX motherboard, 64 gb DDR5, 2Tb NVMe SSD, cooler Master 360 w 3 fan cooler, 34″ 4k monitor.
Antec 1000w 80 plus gold smps suggested.
What should be the smps and ups?
I would like to suggest the following:
SMPS -> Corsair RM850 850W
UPS -> APC Back-UPS Pro BR1500G-IN 1500VA / 865W
Thank you for your reply.
I also plan to add another rtx 4]90/4090 ti in future. Then which smps and ups should I buy?
*** Rtx 4090/ 4090 ti
Corsair RM1000x 1000W
Just further questions, there are some calculators to figure out how much smps would be required. With the above configuration with 2 4070ti graphics cards, the calculators are arriving at somewhere between 1300w to 1500w. What do you think? Can you explain further. Thanks
I did not know you were talking about two RTX 4070 Ti graphics cards. For running two RTX 4070 Ti cards, yes do need a 1300W / 1500W PSU.
Sir I have two SMPS but I don’t know which one is better how can I know which SMPS is better…???
1 SMPS VIP-400R
2 SMPS VIP-300 WATXP4
Is this model number “VIP-300 WATXP4” correct?
Yes sir if you want I can share a pic of my SMPS
Hi Akshat,
Thanks for writing a blog on the subject. It is indeed very useful. Just wanted some guidance from you.
I am currently using:
Intel Core i3 7100 3.90 Ghz processor
Gigabyte H310M H2.0 motherboard
2*4 GB DDR4 RAM
HDD 2TB
DVD Disk Drive
Zebronics 450 W Economy Power Supply SMPS
I intend to add additional storage of WD 4TB internal HDD + 240 GB SSD.
Do you think I will have to upgrade my SMPS? Will Artis Vip 500 Gold suffice on the power requirement? If not, kindly suggest some best ‘value for money’ SMPS for the upgrade. Thanks in advance.
You should be OK but I would suggest getting a better power supply for the well-being of your hard drives. Artis Vip 500 Gold is a good choice in the budget range.
Thanks bro. Appreciate!!

Suggest SMPS for core i7 12700f with 16 gb ram 8 gb dual graphics card 1 tb hdd 512 SSD
What graphics card do you have?
hi, iam using gigabyte ga-h81m-ds2 mother board , along with 3 ssds, 1 pci external usb slot, intel core i5 4th gen processor,
sometimes i connect external dvd writer, (but it is getting auto disconnected continuously) i wanted to know which smps is suitable for my motherboard , right now iam using zebronics 400W plus smps (230v)
The issue is not because of the SMPS, but I would recommend a better PSU for your system. I would suggest Ant Esports VS450L 450 Watt PSU in the budget range.
ok thank u !
bought this today
need to check…
i have connected the smps but its not powering on
any suggestion ?
Check the connections and cable.
ok, with some great pain i have replaced the smps, looks like my pc speed slightly increased but this ext dvd writer still getting disconnected, once in a while, the same ext dvd writer works well with laptop, so is this motherboard issue ? bcoz this prob started after replacing my mother board , is there any permanent sol for this ?
Yes, it could be a motherboard issue because you said that the problem started after changing the motherboard.
Hey I need help my computer specs are
I3 10100f,
Currently using 710 might upgrade to 1050ti
Ram 8gb upgrade to 16gb or 24 gb
Micro ATX motherboard h410m-b msi
Storage 1 sata right now maybe 2 in future of 512gb ssd and might be m.2 nvme in future
Should ant eSports vs400 is enough iam not a heavy gamer nor heavy editor just office work and small games
Yes, Ant Esports VS400L should be good enough even if you upgrade the graphics card to GTX 1050 Ti.
I’m going to buy this following configuration
Asus amd prime b 450 m a II
Corsair vengeance 16gb lpx DDR 4 ram
Ryzen 5 4600 processor
I ask yu which SMPS is good for the above configuration ? and whether ant esports brand is good ?
In budget segment the best you can get is the Ant eSports vs400. The brand is good for budget segment products.
Why not 600 ant esports sir ??
400W should be sufficient but if you can spend a little extra then 600W is definitely a better choice.
Not spending little extra. I calculated the wattage total in cooler master website for my configuration it gave 477 watts and I made 100 extra watts for remaining peripheral i connect further so my doubt is whether wattage increase will damage the mother board, ram , SSD life span ??
It does not work like this. More wattage does not mean your components will get extra wattage or power. The power draw will be according to your components requirement only. The extra power is just left unused.
Please share ur WhatsApp number to my mail id sir balajigovd35@gmail.com
Sorry, I don’t share my personal number.
Okay fine thanks u clear all my doubts here then
I bought a Gigabyte-B250M-DS3H with 2 CORSAIR 8GB Vengeance LPX DDR4 PC4-19200 2400MHz Desktop Memory and 2 1tb HDDs along a wifi card, with a Power supply of Corsair VS650
it goes slow when running virtual machines,
Planning to add another 32 GB Ram , and SSD, along with a graphics card,
Will that still go with the same power supply thats currently installed
forgot to mention the processor intel i5 7th generation
forgot to mention the processor intel i5 7th generation 7600 with 65 w power supply usage
You should be fine as long as the power consumption of graphics card is 200W or less.
7th gen intell i3
Asus h110m-cs motherboard

Yes, you can.
Can my pc motherboard supported 500 watt power supply?

Yes it can but you will need a 24-pin to 6-pin power adapter if you buy an aftermarket ATX PSU.
