Do i need a PSU Upgrade?

[damianuhrich.bewerbung]

Hello there dear Community,

I want to buy myself a GTX 1080ti, because my 1060 is bottlenecking the shit out of my i7-8700k.
I Am currently using a Seasonic S12II-620 PSU with 620 Watt, i just want to know if the 620Watt are still enough to handle a 1080ti and a 8700k, even when slightly overclocked.
Or do i need to buy myself a new PSU? if so could you guys recommend me a good one ?

Thanks !

no you do not, have fun.

That depends on whether the CPU and GPU are overclocked. With very mild overclock, you won't need a new PSU.
However, if you plan to buy a very energy-hungry GPU, I'd suggest a more future proof solution like a 750w PSU.

Unless you are like me and have 8 hard disks in your computer, the 620w should be more than capable.

No, you really need to upgrade to a higher end PSU.

The Seasonic Focus Plus 650W is highly recommended.

You need 2 separate cables to power that GTX 1080Ti, your S12II only has PCIe one cable.

From the Seasonic Website.

Seasonic says he has 2 cables for PCI-E
PCIe (8/6 pins) 2 1 x 550 + 100 mm - attached

The s12II is fine. Whilst it's recommended to use 2 different cables using 1 is fine. The s12II series has been proven over the years to be capable of easily sustaining even the powerhungry rx 290x and whatnot without a problem.

Sure they are older units but they are also really high quality units.

650w will be enough to run that hardware. However I would consider a new psu simply for an upgrade to something newer/more efficient. That psu is pretty low end compared to a 1080ti and 8700k, but it should work with no problems.

That's 1 cable with 2X connections.

That's a 575w PSU.

And it only has one PCIe cable with 2 connections.

They need two separate cables.
