Should I Upgrade My PSU for a new 4070Ti Build?
Gessler555 posted a topic in New Builds and Planning
I'm putting together a new system: Core i5-13600K MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk WiFi Corsair Vengeance 32GB (2x16) DDR5-6000 Corsair H100i Elite Capellix XT 240mm AIO Samsung 980 Pro Gen4 500GB NVMe 2 x SATA SSDs, 2TB each RTX 4070Ti 4 x RGB Case Fans I currently have a 5-year old (2018 model) Corsair RM850x PSU (80+ Gold) in my old build and am wondering if I can reuse it in the new system? My concerns are basically three: 1) Is 850W enough for the 4070Ti + 13600K? I know that Nvidia recommends only a 700W for this GPU but they often don't take into account things like efficiency, transient spike-induced stability problems & stuff like that. 2) As mentioned, my current PSU is from 2018 so obviously no ATX 3.0 or included 12VHPWR cable. Is it safe to use the 2 x 8-pin to single 16-pin adapter included in the GPU box? I gather that there are different manufacturers for these adapters and some may be better/worse than others?? I plan to buy either a MSI Gaming X Trio or Asus TUF Gaming OC versions of the 4070Ti. 3) If it's advisable to buy a Corsair-sourced adapter cable (which is much sleeker, I think you guys know which one I'm talking about), what model/year/rating should I watch for? Are those adapters compatible with older PSUs? I've been warned not to mix & match power cables even within the same manufacturer unless I'm absolutely sure what I'm doing. A new Corsair HX1000i 80+ Platinum ATX 3.0 unit (with a direct 16-pin connection to the GPU) is within my budget and I can pull the trigger if you guys think the older PSU & Adapter solutions are not worth the hassle/risk. I just want to know if I'd be overspending for no good reason. -
Hi everyone, I want to use an extra GPU that I have to display to my 2 side monitors and use my main GPU for the center monitor where I play my games. The main is a 3080, the other card is a 2060 Super. Currently the 3080 is outputting to all 3 displays (32” 1440p). I don’t particularly plan to use the 2060 for mining, the main goal is to free up the main gpu for max performance. Also, I might as well use the extra card since I have it. I have two main questions: 1. Is this possible in the first place? 2. is my PSU powerful enough to support this use? And how would I be able to tell? My computer MoBo: Asus ROG Strix Z390-F Gaming CPU: Intel i7-9700k GPU: PNY 3080 RAM: 32 Gb RAM Wifi Card: Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX200 160MHz Storage: 1x NVMe drive 1x Sata SSD 2x HDD PSU: Corsair 850W extra GPU: 2060 Super founders edition Thanks! -
I have 2 psu that I'm very interested and price almost the same. Cooler Master V850 Gold V2 = $132 Or Nzxt C850 = $129 Prices are converted from Malaysia. CM was created by Gospower. Nzxt was created by Seasonic. They both have review on Tom's hardware. I don't have link here but maybe you guys can checked or I just buy the cheapest one because they both 850w psu.

Hello, I am hoping someone here can help me. I just upgraded my system from a i5-8600k to a i7-12700k. I am using a DDR4 board with a 850w Gold EVGA PSU. I replaced the first board which was a MSI Mag Tomohawk with and ASUS TUFF (ALDO DDR4). With the MSI the computer would shut off when I tried to play COD or BF2042. With the ASUS board it does a system restart. I stress tested both configurations with AIDA 64, HEAVEN, and Cinebench R23. No issues while under those loads for 15-20 minutes each test. I even ran the CPU and GPU stress test simultaneously have a ~200W draw from the CPU and over ~350 from the GPU and still no shutoff. Other specs: 32GB G.SKILL RGB Ram 3 NVME SSD's 1 SSD NOCTUA NHD-15 CHORMAX BLACK 6 LianLi Uni Fans I7-12700k (currently not OC) MSI RTX 3080 (LHR) EVGA 850W Gold rated

I have an all-RGB build (addressable RGB) w/ mid-to-high-end specs across a multi-desk setup -- one desk for sitting and another for standing and couch mode: Components Ryzen 7 5800X ROG Crosshair Hero VIII x570 motherboard Cooler Master MasterBox MB530P ATX case modded w/ extra typc-c port in front ROG Strix RTX 3080 w/ RGB (overclocked) 64 GB DDR4 3600 RAM w/ RGB (overclocked) 2 NVME M.2 SSDs - 4 TB total 2 SATA 2.5" SSDs - 4 TB total 2 SATA 3.5" HDDs - 20 TB total NVME USB 3.1 expansion card Cooler Master MWE Gold 850 V2 Full Modular, 850W PSU Cooling: Cooler Master MasterLiquid 360R w/ ARGB pump w/ 3 Cooler Master Halo front-facing ARGB fans for the radiator 2 top facing fan 120mm RGB 1 rear fan 120mm RGB Additional Lighting 4 XPG ARGB PSU power extension cables 1 Cooler Master GPU anti-sag bracket w/ ARGB 1 Cooler Master ARGB light strip PC Powered Peripherals 2 ARGB keyboards 2 ARGB mice 2 4K webcams over-ear headphones/mic USB 3.0 Blu-ray drive USB 3.0 card reader USB 3.0 scanner 3 USB 3.0 hubs 2 fingerprint readers I want to move the 2 120mm top fans to the back of the radiator (for push-pull config) and replace them w/ 2 RGB 140mm fans at the top. I am starting to get worried about power consumption -- given all the powered/lighting devices I have and RAM overclocking and occasional GPU overclocking. I noticed I have "very high" device setup manager power consumption. Do you think I need a PSU greater than 850 W? Should I get a 1000 W? Please let me know if I can provide more information.

Recently built first pc and had issues now VGA red light on and won’t boot PC: 5800x corsair lpx 32gb 3600mhz c18 palit 3080 gamingpro corsair rm850w gold psu msi mag b550 tomahawk cooler scythe fuma 2 kingston a200 1tb ssd all issues: 1.got small amount of thermal paste on cpu pins wiped some off with kitchen roll, thermal paste was non conductive 2.stupidly tried to boot pc without cou cooler on for only a few seconds 3.RAM running at 2666mhz instead of rated 3600mhz a. tried a-xmp profile 1 & 2: didn’t work b. tried setting d-ram frequency to 3600mhz: wouldn’t boot windows just returned to bios at 2666mhz tried different settings such as memory try it with 3600mhz and same timings as a-xmp: didn’t work reset to 3600mhz weeks later i attempted this again i slowly increased the d-ram frequency gradually (with everything else set to auto) only booting into bios not windows and it was working this way, when i reached 3600mhz it wouldn’t boot into windows so i lowered it to 3300mhz and it booted into windows (not sure if placebo but seemed like opening tabs and apps seemed slower) this worked alright until i tried to load valorant launcher and it turned off, turned my pc back on and tried again then computer started to make siren noise and screen went black but could still hear yt video i was watching in background, i turned the pc off with the power button and rebooted into bios and RAM was reset to 2666mhz. booted into windows fine all seemed good but pc crashed when left idle and entered sleep mode finally bringing us to today. played some games with relatives and all seemed good, ran userbenchmark and my pc crashed. rebooted and re ran it filming the operating it crashed once again and i saw it was as soon as it began to benchmark my gpu. rebooted pc and loaded into battlefield 4 and had no issues was running as expected msi afterburned showed gpu usage not getting above 75 ish %, closed bf4 opened internet browser and started watching yt and had msi afterburner up on second monitor which showed gpu usage at 0% during video after 10 mins of this i pressed my spacebar to pause video and the screen went black. tried to turn pc back on but wouldn’t boot with the gpu fans spinning but the vga red light on. re seated gpu and same situation. thank you if you made it this far im sorry for my immense stupidity and seeming lack of care i don’t know why i do the stupid things i do but please if anyone can help me i would be eternally great full. absolutely any help would amazing

Hi everyone, I recently bought a Tesla K80 to help with my extensive ML/AI experiments. This brings my PC specs to the following: CPU: Core i7-8700k RAM: 48GB (2x8GB + 2x16GB) DDR4 3GHz RAM SSD: 1x240GB M.2 NVMe + 1x1TB M.2 NVMe (note: will have to get rid of one to deploy the K80). HDD: 1TB @ 5400RPM + 700GB @ 7200RPM Fans: 3x120mm case fans + 1x120mm CPU fan. GPU: 1xGTX1080 + 1xTesla K80 Without K80 my device is working great with 600W PSU I got from EVGA. In order to accommodate the addition of the K80 (300W) I tried calculating power consumption and got 750W (I use 4.5GHz on my CPU) and therefore it's recommended I get 800W PSU. I have found a couple options for PSUs but I am unsure if they are good enough, or if my calculations above are correct. Here are the PSUs: GAMEMAX GM-800 80+ Semi-Modular EVGA 850 BQ 80+ Semi-Modular EVGA 850 B5 80+ Fully-Modular Things I do not care much about: 1. Modularity of PSU. 2. Noise of PSU. Worth mentioning: during ML experiments, I do not use any of my HDDs. All the work I do is purely on the NVMe. Any advice? One further question: would it be possible to use both PSUs (the one I have and a new one) to power the device if I am not moving it at all?

I stopped by Microcenter in St. Davids, PA (outside of Philly) and they had some Radeon 6000 series GPU's in stock surprisingly. On a whim, I picked up the Powercolor Red Devil 6800XT since I don't know whenever I will get my hands on one of the 6000 series GPUs in the near future. According to Powercolor, it recommends using an 850 watt power supply. Do I necessarily need this kind of power supply? The reason why is I am planning a build with a Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini which can only support an SFX/SFX-L power supply. I know anything above 750 watts in SFX/SFX-L format is not common. After checking multiple watt calculators, a lot them said I would be fine running a 650 or 750 watt power supply. Since this is my first "expensive, balls-to-the-wall" build I'm hesitant to run 100-200 watts below recommended. I will provide planned build parts at the bottom of post. I was looking at the Silverstone SX800-LTI power supply that Linus used in the "I Built an All AMD Mini PC!" video posted on 21Dec2020: https://youtu.be/R4jTCGkuXyg Should this be enough power even though it is 50 watts below recommended? I also saw Silverstone released a 1000 watt SFX-L power supply, SX1000 Platinum, but according to their reps on the company's website the restock probably will not happen until mid-late January. I also see Cooler Master has an 850 SFX power supply but I do not see any in stock or see any positive reviews about it. If anyone actually has positive reviews of the Cooler Master power supply then please chime in. To recap, my question is do I really need an 850 watt power supply for my system? Should I be fine running with a Silverstone SX800-LTI? Should I wait for the Silverstone SX1000 Platinum? Is the Cooler Master 850 SFX good and should I consider it? For my planned build, the goal for my build is "small" with power and complete RGB. My planned build is as follows: Chassis - Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini (Black) - On preorder, will arrive sometime in mid-January CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 3800XT Motherboad - MSI B550M Mortar (microATX) GPU - Powercolor Red Devil Radeon 6800XT (unplanned) Memory - Trident Z Neo 32GB (2 x 16GB) AIO Cooler - NZXT Kraken Z73 Fans - Lian Li UNI Fan SL120 up to 10 (only can get my hands on a couple for now, will add the remaining later) Power Supply - ?????????????????????????? -
Does anyone know the differences between the two monitors? I'm looking to buy a set of two, they are both around the same price. Having a difficult time choosing. Will be for design and some gaming.

Hi. I currently daily drive a rig I built not too long ago with a 850W power supply with a 3090 Ti. I'm curious if I'm going to need to upgrade my Power Supply If I plan to buy and run the 40 series. Will I need to upgrade to a 1200W Power Supply?

I cant exactly tell but can someone tell me if this psu is compatable with the rtx 3080? I think its fine but Im not entiretly sure. Thanks for the help! For context this is the gpu im refering --> https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B09BNBWSWJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

So I built a pc asus z690 strix-e, I've used two types of ddr5 ram Corsair and g skill, I've tried used 3 gpus, a 1080 while I waited for my 3080 and decided to upgrade to a 3080ti. I have 4 hard drives, wd black Samsung 970 pro, 980 pro and a 2.5 sata ssd. A lot of times the error code beeps b6 or something like that which I learned is a gpu error. I unplug everything, computer first then reinstall gpu. Not really sure how to reset cmos as it's my first asus board so I hold power for a good minute while it's not connected. I did a clean install which didn't seem to work. Even if I get it to get to the windows desktop any game I play will cause the screen to go black and it will start a restart. I'm not sure if it's error in bios or what but the 3 pcs ive build before never had this much trouble. It's not even gaming that makes it restart I could open mail or chrome and the screen goes dark. Even signing into windows makes it stall. Sometimes the display is good but it's nonresponsive I also have an 850 watt psu which should be enough from what I've heard -
I have 500 power supply for my system i5 10400 and 1660ti and want to upgrade my power to upgrade my system (in the future) for AMD 7000 CPU a GPU like 3070 or something in this range, the cougar gex 850, bitfenix whisper m750 are the same price, I can't find a lot of reviews for the cougar it is good or go for BITFENIX whisper with less power and hope it will be enough

Hi guys, I'm planning to build a desktop, but I'm quite stuck at the PSU. I'm planning to choose a 850W psu. The PSU i chose ATX version: ATX12V, but the case PSU support is ATX, are they compatible? Thank you

To get it out of the way, here are the specs of my current system: Ryzen 3600 GTX 980ti 2 by 16 GB corsair vengeance lpx ddr4 memory 2 phanteks case fans 2 corsair case fans Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black RGB 2 SATA SSDs 1 Toshiba 2 TB 7200 rpm HDD 1 wd blue 500 GB 5400 rpm HDD 2 wd velociraptor 1TB 10K rpm HDDs Corsair RM850x PSU And since I don't game very much anymore, and instead just use my 980ti for machine learning, I bought an ASUS RX580 Dual 4G card that I was hoping to use as a display adaptor to drive my monitors (I am on linux so the older amd card made sense, plus it was cheap), but when I checked my system power consumption in outervision, I got the following result: Which is, needless to say, greater than 850 watts. Now I have a buddy with an HD 7950 that he is looking to upgrade, and this RX580 fits his budget, but when I plug in the HD7950 instead of the RX580 in outervision, I get the following result: Which is below 850 watts, but outer vision still thinks I need a better power supply. considering that its somewhere around 300 dollars to get a decent 1000 watt PSU (ouch!) I just want to know if I am cutting it too close on my PSU's rating. Can I add the RX580 to my system? Can I add the 7950 instead? Can I add neither to my system? Thanks for the input

Hey guys, I recently upgraded my PC except for my graphics card. So I was wondering... in the event I go completely crazy and purchase 2 GTX 1080's and decide to put them in SLI, is a Seasonic X-850 enough for the whole system? (It also has an i7 6700K overclocked to 4,6 GHz). Not saying I will end up doing that but just to have an idea of the upgrade paths this PSU can ultimately allow me to go with.

Hey all! I'm looking for the best quality PSU for my next system which will consist of the following components : - i7 7700K - X62 - Z270 mobo - 16GB G.Skill TridentZ 3200MHz CL14 - 960 EVO M.2 250GB - 850 EVO SATA SSD 1TB - GTX 1080 So the question is which PSU to get and will 750W be enough for this system spec ?

Hi , So my PSU is getting pretty old now, and has started to make a high pitched noise constantly from the time it turns to the time it shuts down. I think its called coil whine ??? Is there any possible way to fix this or is it time for a new PSU? PSU is 6+ years old LOL Thanks

Hi Im looking for a new 850w PSU to replace my 8year old unit. the one thing i want in my psu that i have hard time finding is individually sleeved cables to PCIe/GPUs im planing on spending around 260$, if that is unit + a cable pack or just the psu it needs to be 2x 8pin EPS and 4x 8PCI thanks for any advice

Hey, I live in India and I recently bought a Corsair RM850x fully modular PSU but when I opened it up I found what could be a bit of a mix-up, the power cord for the PSU provided in the box appeared to have the UK plug type (with flat 3-pin connectors in a plug marked to be 13A). But the plug connectors in my region are rounded, with the sockets for high-end appliances rated to be what I think is 15A (anyone from India here might clarify, I'm not much of an expert in this). What I want to ask is, I do have my older Antec VP650P (650w) PSU which has the correct power cord for my region, so can I just use this cord for the RM850x? And is the connector at the PSU end universal for all power supplies? I'm asking cuz just because something appears to fit might not always mean that its meant to be used that way. Also, the wattage difference between the PSUs...is a power cord which came with a 650w PSU only good enough for something of that wattage? The new PSU in my case can pull upto 200w more from the wall** than what my old one was rated for. ** in my case, an APC uninterrupted power supply. Or should I just ask Corsair/my seller for a new plug? I'm asking because I just got a brand new 1080Ti and I don't want to subject it (or my hard drives, Mobo and CPU for that matter) to any unwarranted experimentation on my part. And I don't want to use adapters for this very reason. The plug my RM850x came with:

After connecting the 3090 FE and trying to run some gaming benchmarks I get constant PC restarts. Power shuts off and PC restarts - booting back to Windows. Specifically this has happened in RDR2, Far Cry 5, and Control. At first RDR2 would crash the second the benchmark started. I then plugged my PC into an outlet in another room via an extension cable. Once doing this RDR2 benchmark will run for awhile and then the PC will restart. Usually just after the night scene and before the stick-up scene. Although once it made it through the stick up scene and restarted later. Far Cry 5 restarts the second the benchmark begins. Control seemed to be running until I set vertical sync to on. Can do more testing there. Not sure if that was related or just random. I have reseated the card on the board, checked all connections, and uninstalled GPU driver (using Display Driver Uninstaller) and reinstalled/updated all other drivers including BIOS. I monitor the Power/Temp/Clock using Hardware Monitor until the PC restarts and all Temps/Power Consumption/ Bus speeds stay within normal ranges. Power draw on GPU never goes above 350W while temp never goes above 70C.Everything ran perfect with all the same specs and a GTX 1080. Only change has been the RTX 3090 FE. Ran Memtest86 on the PC with the GTX 1080 a few weeks ago and had zero errors. All parts were bought within the last 7 months. The CPU and PSU are several weeks old. Specs: CPU: Intel Core i9 9900K AIO: NZXT Kraken x62 GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 FE Motherboard: Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Pro WIFI-CF RAM:4 x 8GB Corsair DDR4 3200 GHz (32 GB Total) Storage: Samsung M.2 Nvme SSD 970 EVO 1 TB PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 850 GA, 80 Plus Gold 850W, Fully Modular Monitor1: ACER 144Hz 1440p Monitor2: LG 60Hz 4k Update: I replaced the PSU with a Corsair RM850 and it's finished every benchmark I've done. It received a Time Spy score of 16766 and passed a Time Spy Stress Test. This issue looks resolved but I'll update here if anything changes.

Hi all, I'm in the market for a new powersupply. Long story: The reasons I am going to buy a new one are that I'm upgrading to a new generation RTX card when they come available (not sure about 3080 or 3070 yet, and I'll probably wait for the models with more vram) and my current PSU has a known problem. I know that the chances that my current PSU (Seasonic Focus Gold Plus 650W) will actually cause problems are rather slim, but I've had some bad experiences with my previous GPU so I'm not willing to take any chances. Short: I'm trying to decide between the RM850x at €130 and the TX750M V2 at €99 or RM750 non-x at €100. I'm leaning towards the RM850x, but I was wondering whether there are any downsides to having a PSU with much more W than I would need (especially if I end up going with the 3070). The RM750x is €3-€4 cheaper than the RM850x so that's a pretty lousy value. Any thoughts are welcome

Hello guys! I'm planning on buying a 30 series gpu either the 3070 or the 3080 and I need a power supply upgrade. I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to psu's and would appreciate some recommendations. Thanks
