Wattage

Do you think that Arrow Lake would curb down the heat of 14th gen? (especially in the higher-end segment) I think they are trying to create a better architecture overall. 14th gen seemed like the Pentium 4 PresHOT era all over again. Sure the chips are powerful but they do take in a lot of...

Just bought a used Inspiron 14 5425 that comes with a standard 65w charger, a massive downgrade from my RTX3070 MSI GF66 Katana which take a 245w charger. This got me wondering about how much power the Inspiron would actually accept and if I should keep the higher wattage charger, but I can't...

Recently I experienced GPU temperature hiccups. I noticed that this was linked to power consumption hiccups, and in the PowerMizer section of the Nvidia control panel, I see the performance level changing (change in graphics and memory clock). Changing the Preferred mode to "Prefer Maximum...

Hi everyone! I'm currently building a new PC and I'm not sure of what PSU wattage I should get... PCPARTPICKER says that the estimated wattage is 664w. Should I get a 750w or a 850w PSU? This is my current list of components in case you want to know: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hBXtN6 GPU...

Hey guys, so my friend is slowly upgrading his PC.. My skills around other hardware are okay, but around PSUs I never can tell which I should buy, I personally use Seasonic Focus GX 550, but thats not the point. I want to ask if someone can compare these two PSUs or if anyone can recommend good...

Hey everyone, Yesterday I helped a friend pick out parts for a new build at Micro Center. We found some insane deals, notably a PowerColor RX 6900 XT Red Devil for $650 open box. Obviously I had them spring for that card; that is just insane. However, they were on a set budget, and in order to...

My system is i3-10100 + GTX 1660/RX5500XT. I need a 450W PSU to go along with this PC. Which one these should I buy? Gigabyte P450B https://www.gigabyte.com/pk/Power-Supply/GP-P450B#kf Corsair CV450...

I'm trying to see what my watt usage for my entire system currently and wondering if there was an easy way to see an estimate of this. I've read a couple posts about viewing this with HWiNFO64 but the posts were a bit confusing to me and still not 100 percent clear on how to estimate total...

Will it damage my parts if I install my GPU and find out my PSU wattage isn't enough for my new GPU and shuts my PC down? I know that's a safety precaution so it would probably be okay, I just want to figure it out before I spend money on a new PSU which is why I want to know if it'll damage...

I switched from RTX 2060 to RX 6700 XT. I had 550w Gigabyte PSU which I found really cool. After reading PSU requirements from vendor websites and answers from different forums, I decided to buy a 850 watt PSU for future safety - influenced by the common belief on internet. However, after...

Hey I just got a GTX Titan Black and wanted to test it out but I wasn't sure if my PSU was enough. System Specs: CPU: Ryzen 5 2400G Motherboard: MSI B450 PRO CARBON AC GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX Titan Black PSU: EVGA 450W Standard

When I'm playing Valorant, my gpu usage will spike from 0-100 and average around 50% util while playing. My gpu is an Rx 570 4gb paired with a Ryzen 1600. I have 2x8 3000hz ram sticks. My PSU is an EVGA 650Bq 80+ Bronze. I notice my wattage will stay around 60w, even though I have seen...

I have currently a EVGA 2060, however I was wanting to add a 1070 or something to a second pcie slot mainly for using that as a dedicated rendering/3d modeling/etc gpu. I wondering if that will work and how/what i would have to do. My motherboard situation is complicated because its an OEM...

I've just got my hands on an RTX 3080Ti, however I've only got a 750W Corsair RM750x. Judging from the TDP of my CPU and new GPU, there isn't really a way for my system to go over 750W as far as I would know. If my system were to crash due to power limits, could this damage the card? Also, can...

My cpu (i3-9100f) when i use it in 100% only use 40w but the processor's tdp is 65W which is (as i know) the normal wattage usage. What's wrong? Here is the picture: View: https://imgur.com/a/IZWrURv

Title says it, if a power supply is a 750, 950 or 1000 watt power supply, does that mean it pulls out that much power from the wall? To my knowledge I think it's not (correct me if I'm wrong) but if it doesn't then, how much power does a computer usually pull out from the wall?

Good day, Motherboards nowadays come with the extra 4 pin ATX power socket together with the regular 8 pin ATX socket. My question is can you buy that extra power cable? Because my power supply originally does not include that cable and I upgraded to a motherboard with that extra 4 pin ATX...

If my computer's PSU is 1200W (Corsair AX1200), would that mean I'd need a UPS that was 1200W? I realize that the 1200W is the capacity of the PSU and not the load, but I was just wondering whether at startup (or similar) the wattage rating of the PSU might be relevant in selecting a proper UPS...

I have had a crashing issue while gaming for over 2 years now. I have replaced my processor, ram, motherboard, and GPU and the crashing still presists. I think this COULD be caused by a defective power supply at this point. While gaming, the power supply Power % in MSI Afterburn is at around...

An image from Intel XTU: Does this decrease clock speed if there is no power? what happens if I set Turbo Boost Short Power Max and Turbo Boost Power Max the same vailue like 65w? does this make short power max useless? (I'm experimenting)

I just got my gtx 960 off ebay, and I want to test it, except that the total system draw with the thing hooked up is above my PSU's wattage. My psu is an old, noname 305 watt, and I am wondering if booting it with the 960 plugged in will kill it, even for a quick post check. I am going to order...
