help regarding PSU and GFX

[sethsahab]

asalam-o-alaikum
well m planning to buy a MSI radeon r9-270x Gaming Edition OR His Radeon r9-270x IceQ X² Turbo
so my question is will CoolerMaster extreme 500w will handle this card...??
m very worried about it..
i dont want my card to get any damage because of PSU
..
as i have heard many things like
power supply ki waja se Gpu kharab hogya ya jal gya
ya
gpu ko sahi current ni mil raha tou kharb hogya...
and
last question.. should i go with MSI or HIS...??

 

[Voodoo]

Yes, you have to change your PSU ... Xigmatek 600w @ 6.7k would be enough

HIS 270x ICEQ... Runs Cooler than MSI Gaming

 

[kamran saeed]

your psu is the minimum requirement of gpu but its doesnt deleiver exact power that it claims so you shoul go for higher psu
plus on gpu i would say go for msi r9 270x

 

[mave3]

My options would be the MSI one too..
but if u want things to be cooler..
as [MENTION=1519]Voodoo[/MENTION] said then the HIS is the way to go..
and yes u need a good solid PSU...
600 watts minimum...!!!

regarding warranty claim i purchased gigabyte r9 270x oc from karachi and sent it in warranty after 1 week then get it back and now going to send it back again tomorrow to get it replaced with sapphire and my gpu remains safe every time but risk is always there so what i would say go for imx they are giving best price for msi one

not that lucky as i purchased this gpu on jan 1 and i didnt run in pcie x16 slot but running in x4 slot then i sent it back they checkked it and said its running fine on their pc then i though my mobo faulty so i replaced it with new one but still same issue so i contact them again and what they offer me is to return the gigabyte and get sapphire because its giving some compatibility issue with my system as all other gpu run fine on my pc but not this one and this gpu runs on all other pc's but not on mine so i decided to get it replaced but i am very sad to letthe gigabyte go because of its beautiful cooler but this has to be done

Its pretty good company wise. Makes good solid cards, I owned a sapphire 6950 back in the day and it performed solidly! I didn't have any troubles, it even ran pretty cool. I personally think its better than HIS!
