Question ryzen 5700x + 3060ti PSU suggestion

[Iamcid]

Hei guys. What PSU should I get for this system? Is a 600W Quality PSU enough ? 650? 700?

MB Gigabyte Aorus Elite V2

x16 GB RAM

x3 HDDS

x2 SSDS

GPU: 3060 TI Palit 8GB

CPU: AMD 5700X

Xonar STX I ( soundboard)

A quality 600W unit should be alright for that system. (if you're not overclocking)
I'd aim for ones with a reasonable warranty period. This ensures the quality of the unit.

Hey there,


I've a similar set up. I run a 5600x OC@ 4.85ghz and a 3060ti. As above, a good quality 600w will do, but there's no harm in going for a 750w/850w if available. Often the higher watt versions may only cost an extra 20$ or so.

I've the Corsair TXM650, and it's perfect. Will need to swap it up to 850w with next GPU upgrade.

Any of Corsair TXM/RMx/RMI/RMe, Seasonic Focus +/Focus GX, Super Flower Leadex III among others. They are all quality PSU's with warranties from 7-10 years.

On Topic: Have you counted the hdds and ssds? and my asus xonar stx I ? bequiet calculaor says i need max 506W if i dont overclock but only if i dont tick this "USB 3.2 Gen. 2 is used for power transmission". If I'm ticking it i need 606W. I dont know if my mainboard uses 3.2 gen.2 for power transmission.
Currently I have a Seasonic Core GC, 80+ Gold, 650W installed and a new Inaza Fusion, 80+ Gold, 700W that is not installed.


Off Topic: Do you get any benefit from OC-ing the CPU ? in games for example

Refrain from using PSU calculators. They aren't always accurate.
And yes, with the HDDs, you'll still be fine with a quality 600W unit.

Yes! OC-ing CPU could result in higher FPS and better performance overall (depends on the games). Keep an eye on the temperatures though!

As mentioned before, going with a higher wattage unit (650 or 700w) won't harm either. If you're OC-ing, go with a 650W or 700W for better stability and headroom.

Good post!

The Seasonic Core GC 650W is a perfectly reasonable PSU for your system, no need to replace it.

alright, I'll keep it, thank you for advice mr. Flayed!.

Great! I already have a Seasonic Core GC, 80+ Gold, 650W so I will keep it.

do you have a guide on how to OC my Ryzen 7 5700x ? The mainboard is also a decent one. I think I can try oc-ing. But If i'm oc-ing , the 650W source that I have installed is enough?

It should do. My Corsair TXM ticks along great with a 4,85ghs single core, and 4.65 all core OC on my 5600X,

In terms of OC'ing your CPU, you could try Ryzen Master or CTR2.1 to do an auto OC. You just press a button, and either apps will test your CPU, and OC it for you.

You can also do this manually through the bios, by enabling PBO, and do a CO test to see if you can undervolt, and increase performance.

Cool. Noted. Thank you. One last question, you think the OC is worth?

 

[Roland Of Gilead]

It depends. There can be a lift in performance for sure. However, the caveat is, that this is mostly in synthetic benchmarks. In games, there is a small uplift in OC the CPU. But typically, that translates as just a few FPS more. But that few FPS increase, might be the difference in smooth gameplay and not.

In Windows itself, it doesn't really translate to more snappiness for the most part. I mean after all a CPU running at 4.6ghz and OC'ed runs at 4.7ghz, it's not that much.

I love to OC my hardware. I find it fun and like to see how far I can push my CPU or GPU. But, there's a learning curve, so read up on your CPU/Mobo combo, and take small steps testing as you go.
