[walle211]

Hi! with the recent release of the new rtx 30 series i decided to upgrade my gpu gtx 1080 to a 3070 but im not sure if i need watercooling

my case is a nzxt h510 and i use the default cooling in it which worked out pretty well soo far for my 1080

and i have a crossair vs650 white psu also unsure if i would need a better one

And i might upgrade my mother board what motherboards would u guys suggest for i7 9700k + rtx 3070 and i have 2x 8gb ddr4 ram (16gb)

Thanks for all your responses and help!

I think you will need a stronger PSU for an RTX 3070. The Ampere cards seem to be hard on PSUs and the one you have isn't a good one.

What is the reason for wanting to change motherboard? I don't really see the benefit if the one you have is working ok.

The Corsair VS line are OK for a low end systems.
For the i7 9700k + rtx 3070 combo you need something in the line of a Corsair RM /HX/ TX series.
Which motherboard do you have?

Which motherboard do you have?

Asus Intel PRIME B360M-A s1151
this is it and which psu would you recommend from the rm/hx/tx series
Corsair rm650 would this be enough?

If you have the i7 9700k CPU on that motherboard and it is running just fine then you do not need to upgrade the motherboard. Unless you want to overclock the CPU.
