i7 14700 + rtx 4070 with evga 650w g2 power supply?

[TTboyx]

I want to know if i should try my luck with upgrading my i7 8700 to a i7 14700 cpu

 

I have like 8 fans in my pc 3 HDDs and 2 nvme's in my build

 

Idk how much power my fans and HDDs consume so thats why i need help

 

What i do know is that the i7 14700 on all cores draw about 220w 

 

And also if im upgrading cpu i will be upgrading my ram to ddr5 and motherboard so thats even more power consumption

Videogame and streaming so it will always draw a lot of power

Well Nvidia says the lowest PSU you can use with a 4070 and a Ryzen 5 5900x is a 600w. Thing is, the 5900x only uses about 105-110 watts of power and the I7 consumes about 280 watts under load so idk man. Personally I would upgrade. It probably will still run, Linus has run a 4090 on a 500w PSU or something before so it probably will work but it might damage your components.

Any reason why you are not going with the 7800X3D?

So did I.   I have owned 7 intel CPU's over the years and my first AMD cpu was the 7700x and I am having such a good time with it.

AM5 is just so efficient compared to intel.

 

Check this video for example. We are seeing intel draw 213w while the 7800X3D gets more frames at 54w.

Its of course up to you. The 14700 is a good CPU, no denying that.

Yup. The only reason I ended up with a 14700k is because the 7800x3d was out of stock at microcenter and I didn't want to make the drive twice haha

Thats fair   I can't wait to get my hands on the 9800X3D whenever that comes out!

Slight correction: It's not CAN, it's SHOULD. You can use a 650W or a 600W, you just won't have a lot of headroom

What do you recommend personally? i heard some people draw more than 300w on a i7 14700 under stress

 

You think i should upgrade to a 850w?
