[SOLVED] 180-W PSU for i9-9900

[CPU benchmark]

In HP ProDesk 400 G6's specification you can see i9-9900 is supported. And it has a 180-W power supply. If I install an i9-9900 (non-K) on it and bring it to high load, is this power supply enough? I don't use graphics card.

It is a 65W CPU. Without a graphics card, the total should be less than 125W.

That 65W is the "dissipated" power at "base frequency". So the total power at higher frequency is higher.

You aren't going to be able to overclock. There may not even be XMP support. But why are you worrying? If the power supply fails it is HP's problem. They typically have 3 years on parts.

Yes, there's no overclock, but it has a turbo frequency as intel refers to.
But the "HP's problem" part was interesting.

And if HP is confident in selling this configuration, they have to have tested it enough to be confident that they won't have to replace lots of failed parts. It wouldn't be wise from a business perspective. They would have bad publicity and the cost of replacing the parts. They have the liability.
