Question What is the minimum WATT needed for 9900K cpu without graphics card?

What is the minimum WATT needed for 9900K cpu without graphics card? Recommended WATT?

 

[Lafong]

Not sure and did not check, but............

Intel's TDP rating is 95 watts.

It's not easy to find a high quality PSU of under 550 watts.

I'd certainly think that 550 would be plenty unless you have some extreme situation.

Is 450 WATT enough for 9900K cpu? There is no graphics card.

 

[Lafong]

More than enough for the CPU only.

Whether the power supply is junk is another question.

But watts alone? Sure, that's enough.



Drives, monitors, RAM, motherboard all take additional power.

System total could easily be under 200 watts maximum.

I wouldn't have any qualms about a 9900K with a good 450 watt PSU on an ordinary system that had no graphics card.

Will you connect 4 monitors or 8 hard drives or anything wild like that?

Will you have all of the slots full on the motherboard....other than graphics?

450 WATT

What's the brand and model of this PSU?

 

[lvt]

Given that the PSU is from a known brand, 450W is good for the 9900K with onboard GPU and all the fans that your computer case can carry.

You can't boot a CPU by itself, list all of your hardware to get an estimate of what psu you need.
