You're asking if you can boost your 10850K system to a 5.2GHz overclock across all cores with your current setup, including the RTX 3060 Ti and CX650F power supply. Your specs are listed as Z490 RIG in your bio.

5.2ghz is probably going to exceed 300w... That’s nearly half of the claimed "Peak" 650w power. I’d recommend at least 850w myself. For a 5.2ghz setup, you’d need a solid water-cooling solution to keep things running smoothly. If not, give it a shot and see how the chip handles it. Otherwise, consider upgrading your PSU if you really want that speed.

I’ll keep it simple. I’m not sure yet, but I’d like more details like your motherboard model, number of GPUs, SSDs and HDDs. EVGA offers a power meter that estimates system load and suggests PSU requirements. For example, with one GPU, a 3060 TI on a Z590/490 board, an i9 10850K, one SSD, one HDD, and an overclocked CPU, the system uses about 563 watts. Anything above 600 watts should be okay. If you want to check it yourself, here’s the link: EVGA - Power Meter

Include all your details clearly so nothing is missed.

Checking if all data resides on your main computer or if it's stored in the HP Z600 (NAS) is the question. It’s just to confirm, given the 4 SSDs and 1 HDD totaling 572 GB, which fits within the 650 PSU limits but is near the boundary.

Avoid exceeding 1.25v on the D15; whatever frequency it ends up being. It’ll be tough to keep all-core temperatures stable. Or if you’re just playing, consider this.

I believe we're discussing the right topic. This conversation focuses on whether the 650W PSU is sufficient for the setup, not on any D15 references.

He aims for a 5.2ghz boost and increasing the voltage will raise power consumption too.

This isn't the Z600, it's an older server model.

I understand why I commented. It's because I checked their EVGA power meter. Their system uses 572 watts, which fits within the 650W PSU they provide. You should familiarize yourself with the EVGA power meter too—it evaluates the motherboard, CPU, GPU, and storage to give you a rating on your setup and recommendations.
