Question Ryzen 9 7950X Power supply?

[Daniel33]

Hi, Is Corsair HX750 enough for Ryzen 9 7950X? That PSU has only 8pin connector for CPU supply, no additional 4pin, on my board GIGABYTE X870 EAGLE WIFI7 there is 8+4 for CPU.

Would recommend checking with your motherboard manuals and site to see if both need to be populated. I have an Intel Z board that not only uses 8 pin up top, but also has an 8 pin on the bottom of the board. I found out that without having all the M.2 and such populated, it didn't need it. I have also dealt with 2x4pin boards that would boot on just one 4 pin.

In this case I do think it is prudent to ask as that is a very powerful CPU.

Which GPU do you have? They use more power than CPU so PSU power rating is usually tailored for them. Normally you don't need more MB power than basic one unless overclocking and/or using a lot of PCIe lanes.
