GPU Streacom ST-ZF240 240W: 1660ti 120W + i7-7700 65W + ...?

[STEFFCIP]

Hi

I have been running a HDplex H5 fanless PC with RX460 (fanless) + i7 65W CPU for a while which worked great but the graphics died and I want to replace it with 1660ti (active cooling). Would the streacom 240W fanless PSU still be ok for the 120W graphics card + 65W cpu + 1x nvme ssd and 1x 2.5" sata SSD? Motherboard is MSI B250M MORTAR and there are no other addon cards. I know on idle/browsing etc it will draw way under 100W but what about heavy gaming?

If it doesnt come out well you can always undervolt + power limit your cpu and gpu

I may be wrong, but I don’t think the ZF240 has any 6- or 8-pin pcie power connectors. How are you planning to power the GTX 1660ti?

2x molex to pcie cable
it has 2x molex and 2x sata and I only need 1x sata for the ssd

I decided to replace the 7700 with 7700T which is the low version 35W and should be more than enough for me (I have the CPU already)
just to be on the safe side

This psu is meant to be passively cooled by streacom's own cases. If you're gonna use it in a different case, it might need active cooling.

thanks I didn't really know that but the hdplex h5 is a better case than some of streacom's and it has been fine for 2 years now

Just make sure that you can firmly attach the psu to the case so there is some heat transfer and keep a close eye on temps.

I am also using same psu in a hp microserver server gen 8 (1+ year) but the power draw of the server with low energy cpu and 4x hdds is around 50w I believe
