Hey I have a 600 w 80+ gold Power supply i’m running and I 7-11700 K overclocked 5.4 on a gigabyte board that  ignores power limits i’m only using the 8 pin CPU plug not 12  On atx motherboard with 16 gig 3200 dim set 1 sata 1tb and 1tb m.2 with a 2070 that’s over clocked quite hard. The newegg calculator says my power draw is 443 w but it shouldn’t go over 500 with my settings I think. I havent haf any problems I just noticed that it gets hot down there and the fan starts spinning when I checked it after upgrading my CPU from 8700 which it didn't do. Regardless of future proofing because when I get new GPU I will definitely upgrade this do I need to upgrade psu?

A decent 600W PSU will have no problems with an 11700k + RTX 2070. Which PSU is it?

If you start having problems just dial the overclocks back a touch.

CPU: Intel i7 6700k  | Motherboard: Gigabyte Z170x Gaming 5 | RAM: 2x16GB 3000MHz Corsair Vengeance LPX | GPU: Gigabyte Aorus GTX 1080ti | PSU: Corsair RM750x (2018) | Case: BeQuiet SilentBase 800 | Cooler: Arctic Freezer 34 eSports | SSD: Samsung 970 Evo 500GB + Samsung 840 500GB + Crucial MX500 2TB | Monitor: Acer Predator XB271HU + Samsung BX2450

Thats the problem: you dont know if its decent until OP tells us. And the thing is that 600W is gonna be cutting it close for 3000 series.

It is a thermal take smart 600w 80+gold.

and yes I know it is not enough for a 3080 Will definitely be up upgraging for at least 750 in future but I want to know if I need to upgrade now because then I won’t upgrade my chassis but im trying to get a new case now if i dont need a psu.

What voltage are you running on the cpu OC?

 

Assuming a 5.4ghz OC at 1.4V CPU OC, GPU OC, case fans, USB devices, storage, keyboard and mouse, etc.. you could easily be pushing 600-700 watts through the PSU, not to mention a more aggressive GPU OC, higher CPU voltage, or an abundance of USB devices.

 

Especially if you plan on upgrading to a 3080, a 750W, or preferably higher, PSU would be ideal. May as well grab a better PSU now while waiting for the GPU upgrade, in my opinion at least.
