Hello good folks,
I am placed with a dilemma, i just finished up building a rig for my cousin. He already purchased all the components and i kind of assembled them. Turns out the system was not displaying anything, i investigated further taking apart each component and it turns out the problem is in the graphics card. Below is the system spec:
Motherboard: MSI Gaming 7,
Processor: i5-4690K
Graphics Card: Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X
Ram: G.Skill Trident 16GB
Cooler: Stock
Power Supply: Cooler Master V550S
Storage: 1TB Segate Barracuda
My questions are:
1. Is 550W enough to run this spec
2. Is there any chance by using a low wattage PSU could damage the GPU anyway?
The vendor is claiming that the graphics card is damaged because of using low wattage PSU, which i do not believe. Should i test using another R9 290 Tri-X?
Tom i would love to hear your feedback in this,
Thanks
