Hey there
I already have EVGA 850W Gold power supply (bought last year as a package deal). I want to use it as I can't send it back- it is a year old in a box. I am building a workstation with I9 13900K, BeQuiet Air Cooler, Asus Hero Motherboard, 4 M2 SSDs, at least 3 HDDs, nVidea RTX 3070-4070 graphics. I have several builds with simmilar confogurations and number of drives that work ok with 850W PSUs, but on EVGA website it recommends at least 1000W for such system. I was ready to put it together any day now, not feeling like waiting for another PSU or spend more money. What you think, can I get away with i9 on 850 Gold? Thank you.
