PSU For MSI X470 Gaming Plus
PSU For MSI X470 Gaming Plus
Hi, this is my first time participating in a forum, but I want to make sure I make the right choice. As you can see, I’m planning to use an MSI X470 Gaming Plus for my build and will be upgrading things in the future. For now, I’m sticking with a Ryzen 5 2400G. My question is about this motherboard having both an 8 Pin and a 4 Pin CPU voltage connector. I understand it can work with just the 8 Pin, but I’m thinking about overclocking the Ryzen 2400G later. When that happens, I might upgrade to an external GPU and possibly move to a Ryzen 7. Right now, I own a Corsair CX550M PSU that only supports the 8 Pin CPU connector. For my future plans, I’d like to know if this PSU will still work with the Ryzen 5 2400G and whether it’s suitable for the Ryzen 7, specifically models like the 2700 or 2700X. Or should I consider switching to something else?
Thanks a lot for your time and helpful suggestions.

The additional four pins are just needed for very high overclocking, which isn't advisable for a regular daily driver setup. I wouldn't be concerned about it.
I'm not sure what you're trying to do with an external graphics card either. I understand your reasons, but I don't see any practical purpose for it in a desktop.

Great so far, keeping it simple. I meant not relying on integrated graphics but using a dedicated GPU externally. Sorry for the confusion. I still struggle with all the technical terms. Thank you very much for your time and your previous, invaluable assistance.
