Initial Water Cooling Build REQUIRES ASSISTANCE!!!
Initial Water Cooling Build REQUIRES ASSISTANCE!!!
Hi there, fellow enthusiast.
Lately I've been diving into overclocking and subsequently water cooling. I already purchased some components, but I wasn't sure if my PSU could handle the load. My current PSU is an EVGA Supernova 850W P2. Will it provide sufficient power for my existing parts, leaving room for future upgrades like the PASCAL cards when they come out?
Here’s my current setup:
- ASUS Maximus VIII GENE motherboard
- i7-6700k overclocked to 4.8 GHz at 1.35V with NH-U12S cooler
- EVGA GTX 980 TI Kingpin (planning a big overclock)
- Two 8GB Corsair LPX Vengeance RAM modules
- MCP-655 PWM Pump
- XSPC Raystorm PRO
- Bitspower Full Cover Block for GTX 980 TI Kingpin
- 500GB Samsung EVO SSD
- Two 360mm Black Ice Nemesis GTS Ultra radiators
- Six 120SP Red LED Corsair fans
- Two NF-F12 fans
I’m planning to use these as my initial custom water loop and am really excited about it!
Anyway, will the EVGA Supernova 850W P2 be enough to run all these components comfortably, plus extra headroom for future overclock-capable cards when PASCAL releases?
Thanks in advance, everyone!
I believe you should be drawing more than 500W with your present configuration, although I might be mistaken. I’d consider purchasing a 1200 or 1000W unit just to ensure reliability, as the Corsair AX1200i appears to be a strong PSU.
