I just purchased the MSI Pro B760-P Wifi DDR4 and looking to purchase a psu for it. It has the 8 plus 4 pin connecter and was wondering if I needed a psu with that or would a regular 8 pin psu work with this. Thanks
An 8 pin will most likely work just fine...EXCEPT if you're planning something like extreme overclocking of a 16 core CPU. With Zen 4 that generally means sub-ambient cooling.I know wattage wise but the 8 plus 4 pin connector is my question.
So would you go for a lower gold rated wattage or a higher bronze rated wattage that's at the same price point?I think Thermaltake's Smart line is generally considered...iffy...at best. Besides, getting a decent gold rated unit is going to be a lot nicer since they run so much cooler.
But then....I have an older 550W Smart unit and it's working just fine for an old AM3 system I have.
It would depend entirely on CPU and GPU since 700W is already cutting it close for a lot of GPU recommendations, and flat out to low for some.So would you go for a lower gold rated wattage or a higher bronze rated wattage that's at the same price point?
