Unless someone has worked on a lot of HP and Dell computers or other major OEM PC's they likely wouldn't know about Delta. Dell used to use a lot of PC Power and Cooling too...

Dell has never used PC Power and Cooling.

 

Delta makes PSUs for Dell/Aienware, Pegatron, Wistron, and HP.  

 

For the LTT audience, Delta may only be familiar as the OEM for many Antec PSUs (BP, VP, NeoEco,Earth Watts,  High Current, True Power Gold, Signature.

OK, Yeah my memory is likely going. LOL

 

Really thinking back as it's been awhile for me (over 20 years) since I worked on Dells you are right.

 

PC Power and Cooling was what some people used to replace the stock ones... That's what I was thinking about likely.

 

I can't even remember the last time I actually used an Antec PSU or even saw one. LOL

Can I ask why people get over 650 watts for an high end gaming setup?

 

Even an intel i9 10900k (10th generation) + high end motherboard + 2080 Ti + 64 GB RAM, even with that high end setup you would be more than fine with a 650 watts high quality PSU.

 

Why get 750 or more watts for that setup?

 

Overclocked machines, the parts you listed can pull one hell of a lot of power when overclocked, especially if the power limit is disabled in the MB bios.

 

The high end 2080Ti's like the FTW3's as an example are no joke power draw wise when overclocked and pushed.

 

In those cases 650W isn't enough... Not really... 750W is more like it to give some head room... Now if they aren't overclocking at all and just run everything at stock out of the box a 650W would be fine most likely.

 

In any case one should get a top end PSU for the said parts if they plan on keeping the system for awhile.

Certain non-reference 2080TI's will recommend a 750 watt power supply, with others being 650 watts.

Well, "back in the day" we didn't have many options.

They're still around... barely.  They went from a company of 200 people to somewhere around 20.

Back when we used to judge PSU's by weight.
