All-RGB Build Mid-Tier and LOTS of Peripherals

[Goldnbeer]

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.

850w Gold is meaningless. What's the brand and model?

Sorry, I updated my posting. Here is the link to the PSU I purchased:

Amazon.com: Cooler Master MWE Gold 850 V2 Full Modular, 850W, 80+ Gold Efficiency, 2 EPS Connectors, 120mm HDB Fan, Semi-fanless Operation, 5 Year Warranty : Everything Else

850w is probably fine but it's a budget Gold unit quality wise it's nothing I should use in a high-end rig like yours. Take a look at Corsair RMx/HX, Super Flower Leadex III Gold, Thermaltake GF1 or XPG Core Reactor.

 

No issues with the extensions jet?

No issues w/ the PSU for an entire year so far. The GeForce RTX 3080 is actually a new addition. I used to have a Radeon 6900XT installed and overclocked w/ it just fine. However, the Radeon card only required 2 power cables. I installed a 3rd cable when I swapped it out for the GeForce card.

I guess my concern is seeing that "very high" power consumption in the Windows task manager. Can anyone recommend advice or software/utility for looking into this?

The power consumption is relatively high compared to the power usage trend of that particular task (Service Host). Nothing to worry about.

That is not power usage from the PSU. There is no way for windows to know how much wattage a thread or program is using.

 

The power usage in task manager is the "power usage" it uses in form of CPU-time and RAM usage and has nothing to do of how much wattage something is using.

@--SID-- and @Mattias Edeslattthanks, that all makes sense. Task manager does say "very high" at idle, however. I assume this still doesn't effect your opinions correct?
