Can my pc run a Gtx 1060 with 400w power supply

[Private Ryan]

So it says that my pc can handle a 1060 but I am not totally sure. People are saying I should upgrade my psu and others say it will be fine, what do you guys think

Well

Upping the voltage
Or using the Power Target setting in Afterburner or EVGA Precision does allow the power to go higher

so eh..

I'm speaking about the power limit, most GTX 1060 will sticks around 110% power limit. Which is around 125 + 15 ~ 140w. You need modded bios to go higher.

Actually using 6 pin for an 8 pin connector is highly NOT recommended.

mine allows 120%

but yeah

[Big Boom Boom]

125 + 25 ~ 150w

Some like the gaming X may allow for more which is why they use 8 pin connector. But generally most GTX 1060 stays at 150w limit hard locked by BIOS.

Look...

1060's by default require a 6pin connector

Its the 1060s that are factory overclocked higher than normal such as the one MSI in the 2nd pcpartpicker link that uses an 8pin connector instead.

Yes but either way the minimum full load power draw from your 6 pin GPU is still 150 to 175 watts. Without a GPU the oP's system already requires 194 watts. So if we add them together, that is anywhere between 314 to 369 watts. A 400 Watt PSU will have no room for future GPU upgrades after that which is why a user suggested a 500 watt power supply and in my secondary estimate after a lot of research into the system the OP has without it (i jumped the gun on the 750 watt power supply), came to the conclusion that at minimum a 500 to 550 watt power supply may be needed. I do not recall the OP mentioning which storage devices or ant drives they had...so that could easily bring the power draw from 314~369Watts to 339~394 Watts. A 400 watt power supply is sounding pretty thin right about now if they decide to OC it.

At this rate you still claiming 400w PSU not enough? Where the heck is 194w coming from for a system W/o GPU? i9?

And where the hell is 150-175w for GTX 1060 come from? What part don't you understand 6 pin connector only supply 75w and PCIe slot another 75w? What part of power limit don't you understand?

Holy crap.

My entire system with an overclocked i7-6700k, overclocked GTX 1080, 2 SSD 2 HDD, 5 case fans (4 X 140mm + 1 X 120mm), 2 x CPU fans (1 X 140mm + 1 X 120mm), KB, mouse and controller uses sub 400w. Closer to 350w.

Btw, i9 does not have iGPU. You can't boot that system without a GPU.

This guy remind me of this girl on RoTR forum who called me an idiot when I tried to tell her there's no reason to buy 800w PSU for an RX 480. Cause she said I'm an idiot, the RX 480 uses 600w... on the manufacturer page... never mind it said system instead of GPU...

You brought up the Core i9 here:

I feel as though I have needlessly needed to clarify and repete myself....if your goal was to troll into that, yeah you won at trolling,....but it won't happen again. Now please step off with the snide remarks subtle "you're wrong" trolling. They are inappropritae and will be considered bating in the future for reports.

[Big Boom Boom]

And? Your entire first response is horribly wrong. I present several real life examples of how much you are wrong. You still don't get it.

There is simply no way a system with even an i7 quad core and GTX 1060 can get to 400w. Minecraft lol...

Back to the "your wrong trolling"? Or did you not stop and think that I probably did not notice the power suply wattage until after I saw the topic headline (quite a common thing when what I am writing is in the middle of the screen and the thread topic headline is hidden as a result.. Again, please step off and stop harrassing me. We were both wrong and right in many areas, but at least we have found a definite answer that the PSU needs to be upgraded.

[DefinitelyNotMonk]

it doesnt, the Op has a 400w psu, unless they are some how running a threadripper or i9 system off an 400w prebuild psu, there is no way, they NEED to replace their psu, the guy who agreed with you, says he wont use under a 750w psu!!! thats insane, and the wattage of parts is going down year on year as manugffacturers keep chasing more and more efficent designs, the only alternate to this, is the high end desk top chips, the i9's and the threadrippers if you will, and, anyone building such a system wont worry about carrying over an old psu form a system (no offence to op or others) that only has a 1060 in it.
advising the op to replace his psu, with anything upto a 750w!!!! is just telling him to waste money he has no need to do.

[Big Boom Boom]

I actually bought a RM750x because I was going to SLI GTX 1080 but then my wallet told me no.

Well I will just wait for Volta.

Honestly, it does give the OP an option to future proof further GPU upgrades beyond the GTX1060. That being said, the OP never mentions his hard disk and optical drive. Those can increase wattage too. As far as the total system wattage (and accounting for ~12.5 watts for the hard disk and optical drive) it leaves brings the system to 394 watts with the GTX1060 with an 8 pin connector, and 364 with a 6 pin connector. There is very little room left over for the CPU to turbo boost, if at all...so it's probably more advisable to go between 500 to 600 Watts to be on the safe side in case the OP's surge suppressor fails.

I wish people could understand that the PSU is meant to deliver power to the components evenly by preventing power surges from your electricity outlets and that going near or above its rating in power consumption risks a power surge coming in to wreck the computer.

Why the heck are you talking about the i9 again?

For all we know he could be getting a Ryzen or Core i9.

Why? Because a certain troll brought i9 into the thread, it's why.

Nvm that Ryzen is actually VERY ENERGY EFFICIENT.

So I am a troll for assuming the OP was vying for a Core i9 when the only information I could go by...

Oh and I was distracted by this abrasive and rather inappropriate post:

Honestly by this time, who gives a crap. It was your decision to not be constructive in language ("What a load of crap" I believe was your first response to me). You have repeatedly called me out in an unnecessary and inappropriate manner and expect me to not rebuttal with you being "100% correct" when you know we both are just different in opinion. Please STOP TROLLING.

400w psu
Want a GTX 1060
Sure he's all for Core i9, the cheapest is $400.

Move on please. We already established that I made a mistake based on your lead in to the core i9. I am now going to report you and leave you alone. Each time you are not constructive, I will report the comment.
