HP Pavilion 590-p0103wb
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I am planning to upgrade my HP Pavilion 590-p0103wb CPU to an AMD Ryzen 5 2nd Gen 2600 (TDP 65W) and also add an AMD Radeon Pro WX 3100 100-5-5999 Half Height video card (TDP 50W). 

 

My PC currently has a 180W PSU, and I want to know if I would need to upgrade the PSU to a 400W PSU to add these components.

 

I also recently upgraded my RAM to 2x 16GB DDR4-3200 (32GB).

-- AMD Ryzen 5 2nd Gen 2600 (TDP 65W)

-- AMD Radeon Pro WX 3100 100-5-5999 Half Height video card (TDP 50W)

-- 180 Watt power-supply

 

What else is connected that would consume the remaining 65 Watts:

-- motherboard?

-- RAM (1.5 Volts, and almost zero Amperes; wattage is defined as voltage times amperage)

-- CD/DVD device (20 Watts when "burning") ?

-- fans? (minimal wattage)

-- USB ports (keyboard, mouse, USB memory-stick, web-camera)

-- spinning disk-drive (2 Watts) ?

-- SSD (much less than 1 Watt)?

 

Does that exceed the 65 Watts that you have available?

 

Your monitor & printer have their own power-supply -- they do not draw from your computer's power-supply.

The other components are all what HP put in the Pavilion 590-P0103WB. Other than the RAM, which was upgraded. One keyboard, One Mouse, and I would say 10 other USB devices just to be safe.

 

Thanks.
