Hello Kieron, do not use any GPUs with a VS 350. It is unsafe. Acquire the CPU and PSU before purchasing the GPU.
A 1650, without overclocking, should be suitable, but a higher-quality PSU is necessary. Corsair VS models are not recommended. The 1650 doesn’t require external PCI-E and was intended for systems with lower wattage PSUs, similar to those found in OEM setups. It’s comparable to a GTX 750ti from this era.
With the new VS, I would not use them. They are not very good. This is the old, orange label 350 W (the grey one doesn’t have a 350 version). It is not safe for the GPU, the whole system, or the owner of the PC. Beside the wattages, the quality of the output signal is just as important. Those orange VS PSUs are not producing clean signals, especially above 250W. It’s OK for a web browsing PC, but for a PC with a discrete GPU, I’d steer clear. It is very complicated to explain, but you should trust me on this one.
Existing PSU should likely be adequate for the upgrade. A GTX 1650 (non-SUPER) consumes approximately 75 watts under load, and the new CPU might draw around 65 watts. Combined with other components, total power consumption is probably not exceeding 200 watts. While the PSU might not be ideal, it should adequately handle that power draw. Alternatively, consider a Ryzen 1600 if available at significantly less than a 2600, particularly the version with the Wraith Stealth cooler – it’s nearly equivalent to a slightly underclocked 2600 and performs very closely.
Hello, I’m providing an update regarding a troubleshooting issue. I've upgraded my power supply unit to 750W and replaced my CPU with a Ryzen 5 1600 3.2 GHz, but the system is not powering on; it’s emitting a four-beep error sequence. My older CPU fits, so I’m seeking advice on what could be causing this problem.
