Power supply requirements for an XFX RX 7600 XT GPU.
Power supply requirements for an XFX RX 7600 XT GPU.
Thank you for your response. Your concern about the gigabyte power supply possibly affecting your GPU is valid. Yesterday, the system shut down during testing while playing, though all components were powered on—case fans, GPU, CPU, keyboard, and mouse lights remained active, but no image appeared. This situation makes you worry about potential damage to the GPU. On the other hand, I have updated the motherboard BIOS to the previous version since the latest release is still in beta.
I own an Antec 650-watt Earthwatts power supply from 2012, and I was considering using it but am concerned about possible issues given its long usage history.
Pd: With my Gigabyte RX 570 4GB graphics card, I haven’t experienced any shutdown problems even when running at full power, and I didn’t notice any coil whine sounds.
if it's an antec earth watts psu i recall it's a duel rail i wouldn't install it because it's quite old and duel rail psus can be a bit troublesome if they pull too much from one rail it might damage the psu.
the gpu could handle it but maybe it caused the board to fail first. sometimes swollen motherboard caps make it obvious.

even with all lights on it doesn't necessarily mean it's working properly. most peripherals like keyboards and mice usually run on a 5v rail.
case fans consume very little power, around 50-75w watts.
the rx 570 is quite different; it can draw up to 150w, which is much higher than other gpus that might only need 210w.
also, what ram are you using?
msi boards are also a hassle, since i spend half my time on this form just searching for msi boards.
At this stage, you shouldn't be concerned about the motherboard or video card getting damaged. I've been using 16 GB RAM (2x8) from Teamgroup brand for over a year without any issues. The specifications of the Gigabyte PSU are as follows: +12V 54A = 648w, -12V 0.3A = 3.6w. These details come from GIGABYTE's documentation.
in the worst case, the motherboard might be damaged. similarly, both the GPU and the motherboard could be destroyed. one possible solution is to use the earth watts power supply you mentioned with the RX 570 if available, which would indicate the PSU is the issue.
Do you believe this relates to power supplies? Check this out—it comes from the Antec Earthwatts. The gigabyte only supports +12v.
