Needing a 1300-1600 watt PSU thats ATX 3.0 for a gtx 4090

[Shzzit]

I’m gonna be buying which ever new gpu 4090/7900 is faster along with amd or intels new 16/24 core cpus. 
 

So like 450-500 watts for gpu 

and like what 300-600 watts for cpu ?

 

I was thinking a 1200 would be good but doing the math that might be pushing it. 

Im also water cooling it all and will have about 12 fans. 

 

Which one would you guys pick and which psu exactly would you buy?

 

I found this one

1650 watts

Impossible to tell at the moment, unfortunately. I wouldn't make any final decisions on a PSU until that new hardware actually comes out and can be tested for real-world power consumption.

evga t2 1600 looks pretty nice.

I can tell u already that the 4090 is faster but it's going to eat power now up from drinking it which was already up from sipping it(watch mores law is dead video by typing rdna 3 stays efficient) and I'm going to tell u the rtx card is going to be 1500-2000 usd so if the 300-600 is the GPU budget then  if it's the wattage then it's less than 600 watts for 7900x (even to match the 4090 because of the greater efficiency) and the cpu will draw a max of 400w in Intel and 250 watts for amd and if u really want a rtx 4090 then get a 1600 watt psu because the rtx may suck close to 1000 watts

I mean to be fair, Do you actually need that much GPU power? If your just gaming, honestly its a very dumb purchase. its gonna be at minimum $1500-$2000 ,also its about 225-300 for top end CPU, 450-600 for GPU, so 1200 would be fine. 

 

Dont just spend a ton of money cause you can, only if it makes sense and its gonna benefit you. It honestly just seems like you just want to throw  money at it because big numbers, even though the 4080 should be well within striking distance at a much better price, let alone a 4070 or a 3090ti/3080 that will be heavily discounted. 

 

Watercooling is gonna be quite a wait time,  probably a month or two before waterblocks and such are actually available. the rest of the stuff should be able to be bought though.

We can assume the GPU draws less than 1000 wats right lol

The 300-600 was watt usage from cpu. 
As for price, it don’t matter, which ever is best.

Roll a die. No way to tell but your assumptions are most likely correct, about 600W for a high end card, these guys are really going to max out the new connector just for the sake of doing so, and for the CPU I'm not so sure... 400 isn't too unrealistic considering how much 12th gen chips need though, more if you overclock them.

The cooling you're gonna need will be insane though, but the fans won't add up too much extra current draw unless you're using server grade stuff, my Deltas use up to 45W each so if you had 12 of them... boy I'd be worried about my power bill at that point lol

I have 3 360 ek rads, hoping that will be enough.  Gonna be using the Lian XL case with ek distro plate in front with built in pump.

I found this 1650 watt PSU that has 2x 600 watt atx 3.0 cables.  And its a decent price vs other atx 3.0 psu like Seasonics which is 500 dollars wtf??

Even the 1350 with 1 600 watt cable should be fine im guessing?

They keep going in and out of stock.

 

Should be great for 24 core intel and a rog strix 4090 ?  1350 wtt vs 1650?

 

 

Or have any of you heard of a better ATX 3.0 PSU for around 300?

There's many coming, that might or might not be better. But that GF3 is the first one that looks decent. + the 1650W model is the only one coming with 2x16-pin connectors.

@Shzzit

 

Seems like GF3 is a good series, first reviews out:

Keep in mind that currently atx 3.0 cables are melting so its gonna take a little bit more time before those are around

Are you referring to this?

That original WCCFTech article was apparently somewhat misleading.
