Look like is safe, to install GPU around that 200wCPU is i5 12400F, don think can use until 300w

QUOTE(PJng @ Jun 29 2023, 11:35 AM) Becareful if you try to use a 200W GPU esp from Ampere gen, what the PSU needed ie 500W is not factored in transient spikes which could go way up. Lets say for 3060Ti, you will need a 650W PSU. |

QUOTE(yellowflashdude @ May 14 2023, 12:24 PM) I currently have a 550w 80+ bronze psu. Planning to upgrade to a 4070 which doesn't draw more than 200w at load for gaming (based on benchmarking videos). Exact make and model of the PSU itself? https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-4070.c3924 Please advise whether Im being stupid or not over this? A 4070 isn't a power demanding GPU, so a 550W unit is plenty sufficient provided that it's a quality unit |

That depends on the load, as power consumption of modern CPUs in gaming is actually quite low (compared to the rated TDP), unless you are talking about very intensive, multithreaded workloads (like 3D work) This post has been edited by chocobo7779: Jul 1 2023, 10:56 AM |

QUOTE(peter32 @ Jul 5 2023, 03:35 PM) My current project requiring me to power dual Xeon CPU on motherboard. So I got myself a FSP HV PRO 85+ Bronze 650W, which was described to have 2 8 and 4+4 EPS connectors built-in. I have that HV Pro, its just a cheapish but usable desktop PSU for mid lower tier PC not something I would put into a server grade workstation ie dual Xeons. Now I have the items with me, turned out that the so-called 2 EPS is actually an extension of the 8pin to another 4+4 pins. Question1; can I use both connectors from the same cable to power up dual CPU? Can the cable sustain the potential power that might flow through the same cable. Question 2: This China made motherboard gave instructions that if our PSU has only one EPS, we can use one PCI4 6+2 pins, connect the 6 pins into the CPU connector but reverse the orientation, ie. face the clip opposite to the clip on the CPU connector. Has anyone done this before and how safe it is. I tried to search online but such tweak is hard to find online. Thank you and have a great day. Yes the 'dual' EPS is coming from single rail and so I guess its not really meant to power separate CPUs. You will need something in Gold or Platinum level and around 1000W or so depending on how may addons. A server PSU is meant for this mobo but if buying off market, then get a modular cable PSU that has separate dual EPS connections. Something like this ![]() And please DO NOT try connect PCIE power to EPS. Physically they are keyed differently no matter how you orient, and they are wired differently so it will short the mobo if you tried. |

Thank you very much for the input. Looks like changing the PSU is the only way forward. Its confusing because the spec of this HV Pro said it came with dua EPS connector, thats why I bought it. Besides, I do not use high end graphic card nor many hardisk for the tsk, so in terms of wattage its more than enough for my usage.

Nobody outside knows the details for sure but it would appear to be backwards compatible with 12VHPWR just redesigned to have better safety margins. If can wait until 2025 why not, if cannot wait then why not buy now?Call me biased as I have an FSP PSU myself (not this unit mentioned thou) but here is what Aris of HWB have to say: "There is a new king in the 1000W category. The FSP Hydro Ti Pro 1000W unit offers jaw-dropping performance in almost every area, especially transient response, which matters the most in real-life conditions." He is undisputedly the PSU God and you can read his review here https://hwbusters.com/psus/fsp-hydro-ti-pro...-psu-review/11/ |
