What does stock speed mean for CPU and GPU?
What does stock speed mean for CPU and GPU?
Does it refer to the base clock or also include boost/turbo speed?
Thanks all.
I saw a post regarding PSU for high-end CPU coupled with high-end GPU. It says, a 850W Gold plus is pretty stable for i9 13900K and RTX 4090 at stock speed. I just wondered if it is true. i9 13900K is a power hunger CPU and RTX 4090 could draw up to 450W or more.
Significant variations exist. "850w gold plus" essentially offers minimal value by itself.
I believe you should increase the PSU capacity to around 1000W-1200W since both options perform well together, but power might be limited by other components. Each brand produces its own PSU, and some are designed specifically for low or high-end systems. You might find an 850W unit available at a lower price or with improved features, so avoid choosing any PSU without considering its rating, reviews, and specifications. For instance, if you visit a store one day and purchase a PSU, a few months later you might get a higher-quality unit with better protection, while a cheaper one could damage your equipment. Different ATX 3.0 models offer direct connections to the 4090 without adapters. Full Modular, Semi Modular, and ATX variants are available in various configurations.
