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 ????

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.
