Could a 650w power supply handle the needs of overclocking?
Could a 650w power supply handle the needs of overclocking?
I'm looking into upgrading my PC's overclocking potential. The EVGA SuperNOVA G2 650w PSU seems suitable at first glance. If not, would a 750w or 850w be necessary? The system specs include a 6700k, Hyper 212 EVO, ASUS Maximus VIII Hero, G.Skill Trident Z 3000 MHz with 16GB RAM, Gigabyte 980 Ti G1, WD HDD Black 3TB, Samsung 850 EVO 500GB, and the HAF X case with four connected fans.
kyle465 added the details to confirm the information. Some reviews mentioned using 400-450w for the 980 Ti G1, but it seems reviewers didn't overclock it for power reasons. The numbers cited are total system power, not just the GPU's consumption. The link provided references the review.

Plenty for that system with a single 980Ti.
Well I just want to make sure because some reviews had the 980 Ti G1 using like 400-450w of power so I wasn't really sure. I don't think the reviewers had them overclocked when looking at power consumption though.
