In this thread it was discussed that there were some other factors I needed to consider when determining if I could upgrade my graphics card. I believe I should be able to, but just wanted to make sure before I made any purchases. As stated in the original thread I have a small micro-ATX - ITX Ryzen 9 5900x build with a Corsair SF Series 600w 80 plus gold PSU and a GTX 1660 super.

I am using an SF600 Gold on a 3070 FE and 11900K. My system draw tops out at ~450W on stock clock parameters for the K skew. I do not use any of the enhanced clock features available from my mobo or the i9 series and have had no specific issues.

I do intend to upgrade to an SF 750 Platinum but haven't gotten around to it yet.
