would a RTX 3050 VENTUS 2X 8G OCV1 be safe to use with a 350 watt psu

hey ik i already did a topic about this but would a RTX 3050 VENTUS 2X 8G OCV1 be safe to use with a 350 watt power supply also my cpu is ryzen 5 5600g also normally an rtx 3050 would be 130 watts but this model (RTX 3050 VENTUS 2X 8G OCV1) takes up 115 watts and not 130 watts

As long as you dont do any overclocking it might be fine
But you should definitely upgrade the PSU if able.

i say you would have to upgrade the PSU, so dont buy teh 3050.

who do i belive tho

nvidia says, that 550 watts are minimum requirement. i have been googling for "nvidia 3050".

Thats recommended for total system wattage, not specifically for the GPU.

what?

I checked the PSU HP says 350W on 12V rail . So , if it s really good it should be fine
CPU- 65W
GPU 115W
other 100W
280W in total , with spikes 315W max

They say recommend but for a great variety of CPUs . Including 150W ones but this case is different

if we re lucky NVidia may launch RTX 4050 at 75W

so ur saying is that i can use the RTX 3050 VENTUS 2X 8G OCV1 with the 350 watt psu i have on my computer and it will be safe

No, because it's still a cheap OEM power supply, and leaving such a little amount of headroom means that the unit won't last as long. If it fails and the capacitors dump a crap ton of power into your system, it could damage your PC, and even kill components.

400W would be the reasonable minimum power spec with your current hardware, you wouldn't be able to upgrade to a higher TDP CPU, may not be able to add more RAM, and you won't be able to add very many additional storage drives (current ones would need to be replaced to not increase the wattage usage), 350W is just too close to be recommended. Anyone that suggests taking such risks with electrical components is just irresponsible.

Doesn’t matter. Most 3050s average 130W in games and spike up to about 150, he’d want to undervolt.

Still, I don’t trust OEM power supplies that ship in a system with a low power card like the 6400.
