[SOLVED] Is my PSU enough for these specs?

[DriftKing1234]

Hi,

my specs:
be quiet full modular straight power 9 80 plus gold 700w PSU
i7 9700k @ 5ghz 1.39v
rog strix 2080ti @ +175mhz core clock +750mhz memory clock
noctua nh d15s
32gb 2133mhz @3200mhz ram gskill ripjawz
2 1TB SSDs
1 6TB HDD
z390 rog strix gaming F Mobo
5 case fans
5 usb 2.0 and 1 usb 3.0

My question is, can I use this config without having to worry? Didnt have any problems yet using it about 4 months now.
As far as i can tell from the psu calculators, my psu is at 90%-93% at full load.

Thanks for your help

Well.....all PSUs will die eventually.
If I was concerned enough to post the question you posted....I would probably replace it with Seasonic or a higher series Corsair.


Here is a review on the 600 watt unit.
https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/be-quiet-pure-power-9-600w-power-supply,4516.html

....and here is some info on BeQuiet

BeQuiet! does have a few decent models, BUT, you must be VERY selective about which of their models you put your trust in. From model to model their are huge differences in both quality and performance, even with the same series. If you cannot find a review for a BeQuiet unit on HardOCP, JonnyGuru or Tom's hardware that SPECIFICALLY says it is a very good unit, and does not have any significant issues in the "cons" category, I would avoid it. In fact, I'd probably avoid it anyhow unless there is a very great sale on one that has good reviews, because their units are generally more expensive than MUCH better units from Antec, Seasonic, EVGA and Corsair.

Certainly there may be cases where sales or regional availability makes a specific Be Quiet! model that has shown itself to be good in reviews might be a good purchasing option but be very sure to do your due dilligence first, because usually this is not the case and there is usually something good from another manufacturer like Seasonic, EVGA, Super Flower, Corsair or Antec in most regions where Be Quiet products are sold that can be had for less.

"My question is, can I use this config without having to worry? "

Personally I would worry enough to buy another PSU.

As mentioned above, all PSU's will eventually fail.

The total maximum load on the system will be around 550 W. So the existing 700 W PSU is not being fully loaded (good).

The be quiet! Straight Power E9 700 W PSU performance is not too bad, but it uses some relatively lower grade components. This means there is an increased chance of this PSU not lasting for too long. So there is some concern about its reliability/durability.

I would not have purchased this PSU to begin with. I would have chosen a better quality PSU from such manufacturers as Corsair, SeaSonic, EVGA etc.

Im sorry this is my PSU not the one above:
700 Watt be quiet! Straight Power 10-CM Modular 80+ Gold

 

[brispuss]

OK.

The Straight Power 10 CM PSU uses slightly better components then the Straight Power E9 PSU.

Performance is about average. The PSU might last for awhile, but it is still preferred that a better quality PSU be used as mentioned before.
