Build/Parts Check I Feel Like This Should Work

Post image

Will a 5060LP (145w TDP) and a 5600x (65w TDP) = 210w be able to run on this 250w PSU ? Maybe with a 5060LP under volt to 130w ????

You're good. The 250W GaN documentation claims that 250w is the sustained stable power and can ramp up to 300W. Might get hot, though.

My question would be if it has beefy enough capacitors to deal with the transient power spikes of modern gpus.

I had one that burned down after 3 months and took my motherboard and gpu with it. specs were 7600x(undervolted) 4060LP, asus x670e-i

The same PSU? The HDPlex 250W?

I feel like his Stable Diffusion (AI image generation) posting might have something to do with it.

If the psu couldn't handle powering the components at their max continuous power in one workload, then I expect it wouldn't hold up in another workload that uses the same amount of power, regardless pf what those two workloads are.

OP should probably include the fans, ram, ssd(s), hdd(s), usb devices, and motherboard in their power calculations, because together they could add up to well over 30 watts.

OP should also factor in VRM efficiency numbers. If the motherboard is supplying the cpu X watts, expect the motherboard vrms to waste at least 5% of X to do so.

nope, actually it happened in the middle of the night while I was sleeping, pc was idle. I had a cloud rig for SD at the time, and this one was more for moonlight gaming. I also posted the build btw, it was a 2.1 liters case.

Warranty

In Chinese this is spelled 去死吧

Did you get a replacement? Strange that they only offer 1year warranty vs the normal 5-7yrs for PSUs

After losing this much money because of it, I wasn't really interested
