Best psu for my setup?

[bobzen]

Hi  

 

So i im finally down to only selecting which PSU i need for my system and figured i would ask here on which i should choose

 

My setup is following

full EK custom cooling on cpu and gpu

CPU: i9 10900k

MB: Asus maximus XIII Hero

Ram: Gskill 4000 Mhz 4x8 set

GPU: Asus RTX 3090 Strix OC

GPU block: EKWB quantum vector block

CPU block: EKWB Quantum Magnitude block

Reservoir: EKWB G1 distro block with DDC 3.2 pump

 

So i figured i would go with a 1000w power supply and have been looking at the EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 T2 but wanted to ask here if this one can do the job for my pc or if i need more watt or potential a better power supply but what i can see after searching google the EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 T2 should be the absolute best 1000w power supply.  

 

Any tips?

I think 1000W wont be enough for a 3090 because of the 30 series power spikes
Here are some options:

Still Risky: Thermaltake TRX-1250M,1250W 80 Plus Gold,Full-Modular,140MM Temperature Control Fan,Perfect Power Supply for MINING, GAMING and Various Application,Suitable for 115-240 V,1250W Mining Power Supply - Newegg.com

Not Risky: Thermaltake Toughpower PS-TPD-1500MPCGUS-1 1500W Power Supply - Newegg.com

The power spikes that are pretty much leveled out with drivers?

[Haraikomono]

Id go with 70w for the motherboard, 100 for the cpu, 350w for the gpu

so at least 600, but i would definetly suggest to go 800- 1000 or more

Yeah no, 1000W will be way more than enough. Also, i'd never ever buy anything from Thermaltake. I helped way too many posts on Linus's and Tomshardware's forums that had an overheating, boot or powering off issue with their Thermaltake power supply.

no i disagree because remember the 3000 series cards can have peaks on start up when you play games so prob 1000 or maybe even 1200 watts so maybe go with the 

be quie! Straight Power 11 Platinum 1200W psu maybe overkill but still 800 watts isn't gonna cut the 3090 bro

In addition to that, they have also straight up ripped off noctua fans before

1000W is overkill already. Nvidia fixed the spikes with one of their driver releases.

@bobzenThat Supernova you mentioned in the original post is Tier A. 1000W is overkill. The only PSUs that have been linked are lower tier and way too much $.

[Letgomyleghoe]

even high end 850w units survive with 10900k's and 3080's, 1000w is more than enough.

I think people forget that manufacturers are more than generous in their recommendation, and then add more themselves to be safe. I'm 150W under recommended with no issues.

[bobzen]

Ok after reading the comments i see some people disagree with the 1000w and some say its fine.

So the Supernova 1000 T2 will be enough for my whole system with the water cooling system and the distro block DDC 3.2 pump?  

Thanks for the replies so far

That's likely plenty enough and it's a good PSU.

 

You could bump it up to a 1200W for that setup.

 

And a few other options would be:

 

Corsair HX or HXI 1000W or 1200W

 

Those cards can pull a lot of power and if you are over clocking then the total power draw can get quite high from the PSU to the system (NOT FROM THE WALL).

 

I have seen mine pull about 800W power draw. 9900K and 3080 FTW3 Ultra.

Im planning on overclocking yes.

So if overclocking i should go with a 1200W power supply?

Thought 1000W would be plenty but i want to be on the safe side because of the pump and such so idk if i should go 1000W or 1200W since i plan on overclocking CPU and GPU since i see that the 3090 strix OC i have also draws alot of Watt too

It's about overhead really, ROOM.

 

Do you really want to be using 90% or so of the PSUs wattage?

 

MOST as in almost all of those here don't have these cards and are NOT running a system like yours or mine for that matter.

 

So they have no clue what kind of power draw they can really pull down.

 

Been running mine since OCT so I have had it awhile now.

how much and where are you spending it?

 

certainly quite a few more compelling offerings than an EVGA T2

Budget for PSU around $300

not entirely sure about what you mean about "where im spending it" but if you mean country then Denmark

So going with a 1000W will use 90% of the PSU?

If so then i guess 1200W would be the best to go with just to be on the safe side i guess  

Not really sure what you mean with overhead room.

English is not my main language sorry

Headroom percentage.

 

Say your system can use 900W of power on a 1000W PSU, that's 90%.

 

On a 1200W PSU that would be 75%.

Oh ok so going with a 1200W PSU would be better for my setup when im also overclocking?  

Thanks for the helpful tips i really appreciate it

how much in DKK?

Corsair HX1000i 1000W - Find den bedste pris på Prisjagt
Corsair HX1200 V2 1200W - Find den bedste pris på Prisjagt

Corsair HX1000 V2 1000W - Find den bedste pris på Prisjagt

because assuming up to around 2k DKK. all of which are more compelling than a 1kw T2.

Well i would be willing to spend 2k DKK for a PSU yes  and as @Ankerson said i think going with 1200W would be best since im overclocking just to be sure it will run smoothly

i mean, 1000w is allready plenty, but sure. 

 

HX1200 then, a bit below budget, and a very nice PSU.

Cant find the HX 1200 in stock anywhere in Denmark unless waiting like 2 months sadly  Well guess im going with 1000W just hoping it's enough for overclocking and my system and it will be able to run it when overclocked.

Im able to find the ASUS ROG-THOR-1200P  - 1200W For $509 which is quite a lot. Do you know if this PSU have any bad history since i say someone saying you should stay away from thermaltake so i figued i would ask about this one before buying when its at such a high price
