Can anyone confirm if your power supply is sufficient for the Aorus rx5700 XT you intend to purchase? I have an MSi MAG a550bn that provides about 546 watts on its +12v rail. Would it be adequate to power the graphics card you plan to buy? I checked using the Outervision power supply calculator, which showed a total of 407 watts.

Reference design for the 5700 XT is 225W and most custom cards won't exceed that, so it's acceptable. I favor individual PCIe lines on video cards, but daisy chained cables should provide at least 300W.

It seems the suggested power supply is 600W, but with your CPU (without any significant overclocking), the existing PSU should suffice.

PSU calculators tend to perform poorly, as shown by my result of under 400 watts during a full stress test. The 380-watt range is more typical for everyday use but not very accurate.

Thank you for your clarification. I'm trying to understand if it's safe to use a daisy chain of 8-pin connectors with my power supply, given that my setup only has two 8-pin connectors and a single cable. I also need to know if using this configuration could pose a fire risk.
