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

[76561199479053601]

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

Phily, you're going through all of this effort for HP's garbage that ships with single channel RAM, bloatware, proprietary hardware that is purposely made to prevent you from upgrading to non-HP hardware, etc.

Stop asking if x GPU works with that 350W PSU, your time is better spent building a better system altogether, because if you're running those specs as configured as I can see it, you only have 8GB single channel RAM which will bottleneck you regardless of your GPU. The motherboard is proprietary garbage so your upgrade options and BIOS are heavily limited as well and the list of supported CPUs is tiny.

This is not a system worth your time or being proud of, if the hardware was any worse it'd be manufactured e-waste.

This RTX 3050 is based on GA107 thus is 115W not 130W

A specific model that reduces power by 15W doesn't change the fact that it still has power spikes above that. Poor excuse, and doesn't change the fact that the power supply was not made for the level of hardware he wants to get out of it. It was manufactured for a 75W GPU at best, not a 115W+ GPU.

In gaming the PC would hardly hit 250W in real scenario . Yet It may be fine .

No, the regular 3050 average 133W in gaming according to the tests I've seen, so the 115W variant likely averages around its 115W TDP. Peak power is around the same, and spikes on the regular 3050 go up to 149W, so the limited model will likely still reach around 130W when power spikes for even just 20ms.

A GTX 1650 would make more sense for that system, correct. 1650 SUPER could be plausible, most models only draw around 100W and power spikes aren't an issue with them

Probably not very good, 80 PLUS isn't an indication of quality, and it's easy to flat out lie on it

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

If the PSU wasn't OEM, but a cheap Corsair or EVGA unit, I'd say that you are good to go wityh spikes like this, but being HP and their shobby cheapskate tactics to save every penny they can, No, I would not run a RTX 3050 off of a 350watt OEM HP PSU even if it was gold rated, thats pushing it in my opinion and from experience.

I've been in the PC business for 20+ years, HP already doesn't have the best track record with PSU's, especially with the BesTec brand they like to use.

Now you can run it sure, don't listen to people, take the risks, Its not my PC nor House in the worst case scenario.

I strongly recommend you get a new or even a used name brand PSU

chicony psu, not the best

I'll tell you who; not smallcat.

They don't have the experience that _|_ and I have, and they're suggesting taking risks with an OEM power supply because it gets you an answer that you want to hear, rather than giving you the answers you need to hear.

good advice but not all power supplies have the dimensions i need cuz my pc is 15.5 cm and those power supplies dont display the dimensions i want to see

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.

so ur calling me irresponsible now

[r.linder]

You only have two options because it looks like your PSU is a proprietary form factor that will only work with the Victus case, and only PSUs made with the exact same shape will work. Can tell based on an image search of the case alone, the PSU is slimmer than ATX but also longer than most.

Option 1 is to limit yourself to buying GPUs that only draw up to 100 watts, such as the GTX 1650 and 1650 SUPER. Nothing that draws more will be safe.

Option 2 is to ditch the system and start with a brand new one that uses standard form factors.

It is irresponsible to push cheap electrical components to the point that they're more likely to fail. If you refuse to take our advice and blow your system up, got nobody else to blame but yourself if it blows spectacularly enough to cause a fire.

But I was referring to smallcat mainly for suggesting such risks.

Look idk, man. All I know is I am so tired and exhausted seeing people using GPU with cutdown express lanes and paring them with a CPU that's missing pcie 4.0 support.

Why do people keep doing this? A pcie x8 4.0 GPU in a pie 3.0 system that will only reach 8 lanes is so underwhelming. What in the world? And we're only worried about power? Am I getting this right?

If you are this worried about power then maybe it's time to get a PSU. They are so cheap now. If you can't afford one then fine but remember you're online chatting and stuff so you obviously have time to work towards one if that's the case.

But yeah, stop eyeing GPUs with fewer express lanes. The manufacturer won't market this type of information to you so you have to research. They don't care if you put a GPU like that because they won't be using the PC.

GPUs to avoid:
Rx 6400/6500xt
Rx 6600/XT/50xt
Rx 7600
Rtx 3050
Rtx 4060ti
Gt 1030/gt 710

GPUs of interest:
Rx 6700/XT/50xt or Rx 6800
Rtx 3060/3060ti
GTX 1660 super
Rtx 2060
GTX 1080/70

^^ these are the GPUs you want for full bus operation 3.0 x16 express lanes for your 5600g

And get a PSU already. Could have one arrive in shipping by now.

ill probably go with option 1 cuz there is the rtx a2000 and ive heard its good

For just 70W, yeah it's a good card, certainly better than the 1650.
