Comment on French retailer mocks €1039 Steam Machine with “Stim Machine” RX 9060 XT PC for €999

Yea you get a single spike in power draw and that PC crashes. No way that shitty PSU can handle peak power draw if both CPU and GPU kick in at once
At ~310 estimated usage you’d probably want at least a 450 to be safe I think.
With only 350 you’d probably need to undervolt or set power limits, which beyond obviously limiting performance (but at least something the Steam Machine suffers from too) isn’t exactly “it just works.”

another thing is that PSUs slowly lose capacity over time. eventually the system might turn really unstable and eventually unusable.
