Power supply for 3060ti

[Cringe123]

I'm not sure what a decent power supply for my 3060ti could be. Does anyone have any suggestions for a medium priced 600 watt - 700 watt psu?

 

Thank you.

 

Edit: I've been looking at this one by the way - https://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-WHITE-Power-Supply-100-W1-0600-K3/dp/B01127D0MY/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=600+watt+psu&qid=1607617746&sr=8-1

This is a bad PSU. Try to go with a quality unit. if you can expand your budget by 30 this would be great https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-RM750-Certified-Modular-Supply/dp/B07S4WS5L4/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=power+supply&qid=1607617818&sr=8-6

I'm not sure what price is normal for psus really as I don't know much about them. But anywhere from 50 - 80 pounds probably. (preferably 50 - 60)

This is almost out of budget, but it should be good for a 3060ti https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/PVzZxr/corsair-txm-gold-650w-80-gold-certified-semi-modular-atx-power-supply-cp-9020132-na

Thanks, this looks good. But isnt the 3060ti 600w min? If I have too I will go for the 90 pounds 650 watt version of this one or that other 750 watt one.

NVIDIA recommends a 600, but you could easily get away with a 550.

Wait sorry, you did link me the 650 watt version. I thought it was 550 watts as I just searched it on amazon and the 550 watt one came up

My 3060 Ti has reported power draw below 230W, overclocked, if that helps.

Edit ... the CPU power draw is a bit of an unknown actaully ... OCCT different fersions offer different results.

not to be a smartass and I know I'm late to the party but, You should actually get 50 watts more than what NVidia recommends because of the power spikes. Linus actually had this happen to him in the "3090 SLI" video. RTX 3090 SLI - We Tried so Hard to Love It - YouTube

Dw, I thought about that and i got a tx750m. So 750 watts. Over whats needed.

I know multiple people who have a 3060ti with a 550W. 0 have had issues.

Oh cool! I thought you needed a 600 watt psu.
