Bro, I've seen plenty of high end systems that run a Corsair or Seasonic 750w power supply that have absolutely no problems powering a 4090 on high end and overclocked I7 and Ryzen7 systems. Almost all high end psu manufacturers overspec, but under advertise the output of their units. In other words, if you're buying a 750w psu from companies like Seasonic, Silverstone or Corsair, you're in actuality buying an unit that's capable of 850-900w output. I've never seen a gaming computer that needed more wattage than what you can get from a power supply in this range.
I have the PSU wattage stuff pretty much sorted now thanks. My brain starts to melt when I get a multi rail PSU and working out if I have enough power in each rail to fully cover an individual component like a GPU. Would be interesting to see you cover this aspect in another video in future.
One insteresting side note i observed was I got an amd 5700 Xt running at 180 watt max in game and it was constantly restarting the computer. I had a 650 watt EVGA bronze and so I got a 750 watt EVGA Bronze and it still was quitting on me. The 5700 had 2 - 8 pin power connectors and i was using a single line output that had 2- sets of 8 pin off it, so I switched it to putting 1 8pin line into the first 8 pin, and using a second 8 pin line into the second 8 pin power connector and my restarts went away never to return, so somehow the single line with a splitter giving 8 - 8 pins was'nt carrying enough current. It prolly would have worked fine with 650 watt power supply I originally had. Hope this helps.
You must also factor in the loss of power output over time over the years with the power supply. The 850watt out of a new power supply will eventually drop to 800 or even 750 watts or less over time. Also selecting a power supply that matches what you need is not the right way to go. Even factoring the over voltage spike you need to add a bit of overhead. You don't want to be pushing the power supply to its limits all the time that you're using the computer.
@@PhilippeCJR the capacitors and other electric parts degrade. But if you even bothered to search the subject you will find your answer online and there's videos on UA-cam on the subject.
What complete and utter nonsense. What factors, based on his usage are you implying be input into an equation to come to your conclusion? And at what time interval?
it's not that true.. because your PC didn't draw out much power all the time, just get the same watt as the PSU or below just about 100w is good enough
These modern computer components really are power greedy. Especially graphic cards! How much more can this really run to? Thanks for your nicely presented and constructive video, Man.

use a wattage calculator, most psu suppliers have them and so does pc part picker.
Plug everything in. If it starts a Fire you might need a better PSU!

i like to put my build in pc part picker just to see the watts useage then go off that
aggggh that front fan config is driving me bananas 😅 the gap between them, and no 3rd fan installed sheeeesh. Um good vid as always, thanks
You could always just undervolt hardware as well for lower power consumption with barely any effect to performance.

What component in the psu degrades 10% in a few years?

@@Steve30x keep believing in myth 🤣🤣lmao you really think that the PSU could degrade that much ?
Andy be talking bout PSU.
Me: wow, that's the evolv X in white...
I got a mag a750gl for a 4070 super and a r7 7800x3d , do you think it is enough?
is it still true that i need to add 1.5 to my overall watt just to be safe ?
it's not that true.. because your PC didn't draw out much power all the time, just get the same watt as the PSU or below just about 100w is good enough
I'm running a Ryzen 7600 + 4070Ti Super on 450W SFX power supply
so power supply dont need alot ??
How is it now?

Thank You !
Oh no. I have Core i7 1700 cpu and I'm planning to pair it with a 3060 and my PSU is only 600w silver rated. Could I still live?
Might want a slightly better cpu
@@noscopedez what intel cpu would you Recommend?
@@blazegamer9896 whats your budget
Any guide for us broken ppl pls?

Can I run a 5900x and a 6700xt on a 500w
Shi u can Buh I would get 600
I head more is better
bro u need a new mic...
