Question 1

Im trying to run rx 570 8gb forza horizon 4 on ultra would this psu not blow up?

Accepted Answer

Hi there, this is a 600W power supply. Always multiple the PSU power by 0.7 to work out the maximum power draw it shpuld be abls to withstand for prolonged periods such as when gaming for a few hours at a time.

This means that this 600W power supply while ot is rates for up to 600W at any particular time shpuld onky be used doe a maximum of 420W for prplonged periods otherwise like any other power supply on the market it would likely fail quicker than expected.

You will need to find out the maximum power of all of the components in your OC build, add them together and if the number is less than 420W then this power supply should be fine.

If your total PC power is less than 420W but youve been blowing up 600W power supplies then Id start looking at other parts in the system being at fault. The easiest way to find which other components might be causing PSUs to fail is to look for compents that are getting hotter than they should. If you have a good list of comoents in yoir build then they should all have thermocouples built into them which you can easily use to test their temperatures, but if not then fir about £10 you can akways buy a laser thermometer.

Your most likely cause of failure is the total power of your system is higher than 70% of the maximum powee of your precious power supply. The best way to think about maximum power is to think of a car. If ypu buy a car and drive it at its maximum speed everywhere then it won't last very long. Power supply manufavturers should really do a betyer job at informing customers about the maximum "steady state" power of their produxts instead of always quoting "maximum power", but thats advertising I guess.

Anyway, good luck in your hunt for a working power supply. You have a bit of detective work to do before choosing a PSU  😊👍

Question 2

will this work and fit on inspiron 3670 dell? And also can I connect a msi 2gb grafic card?

Accepted Answer

I have just fitted one to my Dell 3620 what you need to do is buy a 24 pin to 8 pin adaptor, search on here for "24 to 8 Pin ATX for Dell Optiplex 3020 7020 Power Supply Motherboard Adapter Cable".

Question 3

Does anyone know if the fan stops when the load is not too high?

Accepted Answer

I don't think so, but mine is almost silent anyways, so I am not sure I would notice either way.

Question 4

Will this seamlessly replace a very noisy corsair cx600m?

Accepted Answer

The answer is 'probably YES'. NOTE the EVGA is NOT modular but does have the same number of connectors as the Corsair  -so if you are not using everything on the Corsair your case will have more redundant wiring stashed in it. I have had the EVGA 600 for a year or so now with NO issues at all. Very quiet... Hope this helps.
