Title pretty much tells you all you need to know about my situation. In a turn of events tonight I’ve been gifted a used but working EVGA 3090 card to replace my seven year old 1070.
My current system hardware specs are:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core (upgraded from Ryzen 5 last year)
GPU: MSI 1070
MoBo: MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK
PSU - Corsair CX-550 550 Watt
x4 8GB Installed Memory
I also have a 2tb SSD drive with my OS and games installed, and 4 8tb HDD for media.
My main concern is with needing to replace my MoBo with a x3 PCi board and worries about my PSU not being powerful enough. I’m not particularly worried about my tower is a Phanteks Enthoo Pro PH-ES614PC_BK.
Thanks in advance!
the corsair power supplies are built by seasonic- at least the higher spec ones.
if you had a 500w or lower unit though you might have gotten some of their older import junk.
This is incorrect.
I believe this was true far in the past.
Most of the high end stuff from Corsair are OEM,d by flextronics.
mm, tells you how up to date i am. i will stop spreading such misinformation.
the last time i was SUPER super in tune with all the peripherial stuff was like 2015. thanks
Ya bro that was like 3 years ago
