RTX 3060 - is 450W enough?

[mufc802]

Just ordered an RTX 3060, upgraded from a GTX 1050Ti.

RTX 3060

The rest of my rig consists of an AMD Ryzen 5 1600 at 3.8GHz, 16GB RAM, 2x SSD, and a single 120mm fan.

I was wondering if 450W is enough to run the upgraded GPU? It is an overclocked version. I will be doing mining, and some light gaming.

That's according to Asus be it in an overclocked system.

Does seem low to me 450w tbh. Though mining apparently uses less than gaming loads.
Also depends on what PSU it is too

The PSU is a Corsair CS Series™ Modular CS450M — 450 Watt 80 PLUS® Gold.

I'll give it a go and see if I have any issues. When I entered the details on a power calculator it came to about 380W for everything.

Well, the new card has arrived! Fantastic delivery speed from Overclockers! Only ordered it yesterday.

I am only using it for mining right now, and its getting between 45-50MH on NiceHash Excavator. I set the power limit in MSI afterburner so it now only outputs 125W, and the mining isn't affected.

My only issue is the temperature, as my case is not the best with only one fan, I am getting temps into the 80's. I will try moving the fan, and if its still too high I will have to get another fan.

Can you add any extra fans to the case ?

I only have a single fan. Just moved it from the front to the back, and now the temps down into low 70's.
