Is 1000W not enough for 5090 + 14700k build?
I have a feeling that I’m not going to be loved for going with an Intel CPU build.
Anyway, my current setup is:
14700k (3 fan AIO cooled), 64 GB RAM (Corsair Vengeance DDR5 6000mhz), NZXT C1000 Gold, 8TB storage between 3 M.2 SSDs, A nice MOBO (ASUS, I forget), 1660 GPU*, 1440p monitor,
*Long story. I had a 4070 Super but returned it because the performance wasn’t quite there and I later decided that I really want to go 4k and I knew it would struggle.
I’m planning to pickup a 5090 on or slightly after release and I’m worried that my PSU might not be enough?
It looks like the 14700k pulls 397w at peak:
And the 5090 can pull 580 at peak:
This means during peak usage, I have ~20 watts of power capacity available, which probably isn’t enough to power all accessories and fans + CPU cooling.
I don’t really know what I’m doing, but I don’t want to neuter performance by bottlenecking my hardware.
Does this mean I should move to a 1200w+ unit?
