Question PSU for 3090 ti founders edition

[michaeldp1982]

i just ordered a 3090 ti FE, I need new ram, new psu and a new case, now in general I only have around 500 us at the moment to spend, so I figured the case can wait, I get the ddr 5 dominator 32g which is $230 and I'm having a hard time finding a right psu with the budget, any advice on a good psu that is atx 3.0 to buy for the system please?
and if you can somehow figure a way to find me a psu ram and case for that price that would be better, but I doubt you be able to lol

What motherboard and cpu are you getting/have? What mhz speed are you looking for on the ram?

I'm not getting a new mobo at the moment, I do have a msi pro z-690-a wifi with a 12700k CPU, but I'm planning in the future to get a z690 formula to replace my current mobo.

You mentioned dominator ram, what speed are you looking for?

Ok so why do you want an atx 3.0 psu? Are you planning to upgrade your gpu down the road? You mentioned dominator ram, what speed are you looking for?

well as I understood it, the 3090 ti is the first one with the new tax 3.0 cable, and the dominator that I ordered is this one.

No the 4090 is the new atx 3.0 standard. They are a little more expensive because of the newness of the model. Where are you located? in the U.S. I have found 6000mhz at cl30 for that price of $230 on Newegg.

I don't really trust newegg, and as I understood it, the 3090 ti does have the tax 3.0 connection
anyway, I already bought the ram, now I need a psu advice

It has a 16 pin connection, the atx 3.0 utilizes 16 pin with the 4-sensor pin but the 4 pin sense connector does not work on the 3090ti.

hmmm... i would need to check on that, cause what i seen was that it is atx 3.0 for the ti FE. it would make things a lot simpler if i don't have to have atx 3.0.

ok, so as I understood from nvidia people, if I get a tax 3.0 psu then I won't need to use a adapter, i can still use a non atx 3.0 psu, i would just need to use the adapter with it.

Hey there,

You need to be looking at a 1200w for this GPU. A Corsair RMX1000w would get you buy if you don't overclock anything.

The 3090ti has very high transient power spikes, which can go above 650w alone for the GPU. So with other components and allowing for OC a 1-1.2kw PSU is advisable.

Well, as mentioned, if no OC'ing, then the RMX1000w is a great PSU. Known to handle power spikes really well.

If OC'ing then maybe a Corsair HX/i 1200. There are two models: The HXi has software connected monitoring. The HX doesn't apart from that, two very are close, but both seriously good power supplies.

Corsair uses a dual OCP trip. Lower setting short duration and higher setting long duration. The psu knows which it's getting, so governs them accordingly. In other words, transient spikes don't trip the OCP due to excessive power draw, excessive power draw trips the OCP because of excessive power draw.

While the RMx 1000w is as good as it gets for a Gold rated unit, at those wattages I'd be looking at Platinum, period. It means a lower draw from the wall, so turning on a light doesn't trip your house breaker.

Thank you.

No prob, you're welcome! Let us know how it goes.
