Posted May 9 realistically you should think about upgrading, the 4070 SUPER has spikes of up to 450W which is way too much for the cooler master to handle, something like a 800W should be good. Here is a list of the best PSUs. https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a list of the best PSUs. https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/ The PSU itself is rated for spikes way beyond its sticker too, FYI. You can run a 4070 on a 550W power supply and it'll be just fine. There's not really many builds that need an 800W+ power supply unless they're so high end where the power supply cost doesn't really mattery anyways....as a rule of thumb right now.

Guru3d didn't find that. https://www.guru3d.com/review/geforce-rtx-4070-super-founder-edition-review/page-5/ Neither did Techpowerup https://www.techpowerup.com/review/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-4070-super-aorus-master/40.html I tried looking, I couldn't find anything claiming that a 4070 super should have that crazy powerspikes. Edit: I ran a 4070 on a 460 w psu. Had no issues. The 4070 was lauded for being very stable in that regard, and I can't imagine that the 4070 Super is that different. mITX is awesome! I regret nothing (apart from when picking parts or have to do maintainance *cough*cough*) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I have no experience with the card and I am sorry for giving wrong info, when I googled 4070 super 1ms power spikes the ai overview gave me the wrong information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 23 Can you be more specific on what model, but on a nice unit, like the ones found here in Tier A or B: PSU Tier List rev. 17.0g - Cultists Network Most likely yes. https://linustechtips.com/topic/1381504-community-standards/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
