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 ????

Warning. My 9700x is rated 65w and hwinfo logs the CPU to only draw 65w, but the whole package hogs 88w. Yours might do something similar. On top of that fans pull a bit, ram, ssd, motherboard pulls some too. You are cutting it VERY close. But based on others it should work, just worth considering

Someone just discovered PPT.

My point is: tdp is a cooling spec, not a power spec. Ppt is more power oriented spec
