x99 PSU Help.

[StevenGibson1994]

Hi guys.

 

My friend is going to build an x99 build and he is unsure on how many watts for the PSU he will need. He plans on having SLI 980's in the future and 16gb of ram to start with and later upgrade to 32gb. 

 

He doesn't wish to overclock anything within the system.

 

Look forward to all of your help.

i would recommend atleast a 700/750 unit x99 Cpus draw quite alot of power. in gaming on average i pull around 650-900 from the wall in furmark its around 1100

Are you saying you are pulling 900W (max stress) from an 5820K and two 980s?

[stconquest]

980 SLI max stress power consumption is about 446W.  Do you NEED 200W for the rest of you PC?  Grab a 750W to be safe, a good one.

no refer to my profile for my setup

 

but a 5820k will draw under load up to atleast 220 watts

I don't know for sure, but what about this?

obviously.

 

if you plan on getting an x99 platform and you dont overclock it you are not doing it right. my max pull with my current settings is around that 180watts but if i were to push my cpu even further it will gladly pull over 200

 

you are better off with an 1150 platform if you dont plan on actually using the extra cores

I see, says the blind man to his deaf wife...

 

I have not thought about that dumb-ass "saying" in a loooong time. :mellow:

How many watts do you pull under stress whilst gaming

[Scouten]

How many watts do you pull under stress whilst gaming

 

a 750 or 700w psu will be fine for that setup it will pull less then mine

I usually want to handle all my parts when maxed, and then a tiny bit more (5% or so).

So...

. From all parts OCed. And from the wall, so it's actually around 330~340w of REAL wattage (once you factor in PSU efficiency).

 

You'll be fine with pretty much anything you throw at it.

Even if he runs SLI 980's

That is a very good 750w PSU.  ...and yes... even if your CPU pulls 220 :lol:
