One is more than enough for a 7700x, it should be just fine 

Posted

Hey guys,

it's been quite some time, when I did my last build and I would rather make sure that I do everything correctly rather than not.

I'm currently building my new computer and I just saw, that my chosen motherboard: MSI B650M Mortar has two 12V CPU power connectors.
I want to run it with a Ryzen 7 7700X, and therefore went with a BeQuiet Pure Power 12M 1000W as it features the 600W PCIe connector.

However the PSU only supplies one 12V CPU cable.

As the 7700X is not the most power hungry CPU of the current lineup, I was thinking that running only  one would be fine, but I'd rather be sure.
Am I good, or should I halt my build and get a different PSU?


Kind regards
Solarleuchte

Thank you for reassuring, however I just checked the box from the PSU and found more cables including the 2nd 12V CPU connector.
