[SOLVED] Out of curiosity.

Out of absolute curiosity this system is running off a 650w psu, is that enough for the specs??
It's running a i7 10700kf, rtx 3070, 16gb ram and a few ssds and hdds.

Nvidia recommends 650w for the 3070 with a 10900k. Should be fine long as the psu is quality unit. Wattage alone does not tell the entire story.

That's the psu it's running.

Tier C unit, they've cheaped out on the psu. For a system like that, I'd swap the psu for a Tier A psu. See Tier list in my sig.

Would that psu suffice for the temporary until I could change it out? Would it run those internals and a few drives and such?

It'll suffice for the short term. The drives won't consume much, it's the cpu + gpu combo in full swing I'd worry about the psu's efficiency if continued to use it longer.

Temporary. As in weeks, not months.

I could order it with a different psu and put it in myself if that would work, I think I'd lose out on the warranty and the cable tidy

How is this to replace the current one?

[boju]

Yeah, that will do nicely 🙂
