Psu confusion for gpu

7 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/psu-confusion-for-gpu.158860/

My config is core i3 prosy with 450w frontech psu.
I want to buy a ati radeon hd 6770 gpu for my pc.
But i can't find any 6pin gpu power conecter on my psu.
So what can i do. Plz help me.
Is my psu able to get the gpu.

you can try Molex to 6pin converter but that will result in the frontech going up in smoke. Time to change it.

lol.....yes.

@OP, Your PSU probably can handle HD6670 max.
For HD6770, better buy a decent PSU like Corsair 430 v2.

Hi Bro,

Get this PSU :-

Seasonic S12II-620 620
Seasonic S12II-620 620 Watts PSU | Psu | Flipkart.com

This company make different models of corsair and this is the best one, I have purchased it before few days

Even Corsair CX 430 v2 will meet your requirements. Go for it and save some bucks.

imo
check PSU's label for current capacity at 12v (combined) if it is above 20A (at least 200w capacity at 12V combined) then you are good to go with it, otherwise buy a new psu

even if his PSU labels says 20A on +12V he shan't use a HD6770 with the PSu he has - he better get a new PSu like Corsair CX430v2 or VS450 - it's better to play safe ;-)
