You'd be drawing around 1050w with a core voltage of 1.4 and a fuck load of fans at 100% load on EVERTYHING. Safer to go for a 1200+w methinks!

Hi,

I recently ordered my new parts for my workstation / Gaming PC but have concerns that I haven't ordered a big enough PSU PC partpicker estimates I will be slightly over 1000watt

My parts are:

WD black 2TB x2
Toshiba 4TB
Samsung 256gb m.2 SSD
MSI X99A Xpower
Evga supernova G2 1000watt
2 X D5 Vario pumps
64gb corsair vengeance DDR4
Is 1000 watts enough for all this with cpu and gpu overclocks thanks

Custom PC:

Intel Core i7 5960X | GTX1080 Strix | 64gb 2400mhz DDR4 Corsair Vengeance Ram | Samsung S951 256gb M.2 | 4TB WD Blue SSHD | EVGA Supernova G2 1300watt PSU | Acer XB270HU | Corsair K95 RGB | Corsair M65 RGB |

I would say you would be pretty close on a decent OC...

Personally I would go over to a 1500w to cover myself for the future too

spitball calculations

550 for gpus

150 cpu

100 ram

120 hdd/sdd (4)

pumps...

A little knowledge is very dangerous

5960X does use more than 200W if OC. However, the DDR4 ram will no where near consuming 100W power. As are the HDD and SSD for 120W. Typical HDD uses around 10W per drive, and SSD 3-4W. DDR4 3-4W per stick.

You're coming about as close as I would personally dare but you should be OK.

Would the 1300watt be better

I doubt it's 120w for storage and 100w for ram..

That power supply is perfectly sufficient for overclocking and i don't agree @Footy as tech is just becoming more and more power efficient.

Besides power supplies work most effectively ~50w above their rated wattage.

A 1000W quality PSU is fine for your system.

If it were my hardware I would buy 1200W or higher, yes. However you can still run on 1000W without issues. I wouldn't go above 1200W however.

When I say OC I probably wouldn't go much more than 4ghz in the cpu and 200mhz core clock on each gpu

I'd say if you have the money just go with a 1200w, I'm sure you could get away with a solid 1000w but when you're spending this much anyway, why not be safe?

Yeah I think I will call the store tomorrow and swap for the evga 1300watt here in the UK it's only an extra £20 around ($36 Canadian) so I think it will be worth it for the safety of the system lol
