What is the best power supply for my upcoming project?
Hey, I’m looking to purchase a computer with a budget around 6500 PLN (over 1000 dollars).
My current setup includes:
- AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D
- Be Quiet! Pure Loop 120mm
- RTX 3060 12GB version
- Motherboard: Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE AX v2
I’m considering buying a Corsair RX750x 750W 80 Plus Gold for 699 PLN.
Do I need more power or something else for this configuration?
Stay quiet! A pure loop 120mm cooler isn't enough for a 5800x3d processor, especially with the 3D VCache. The Corsair H115i works better in this situation.
Corsair RX 750 is suitable for that setup.
PSU tier list
You might find a Corsair TX 650m available at stores as well.
The 3060 isn't the most demanding card in the range.
Consider whether your case can fit a Corsair H115i at 280mm.
The Corsair H115i isn't listed on x-com.pl, but a pure loop 240mm might work?
It would be helpful to understand additional choices available, though using this option may reduce some benefits.
The review describes using a derbauer with an old scythe 7 pipe tower cooler to cool a 5800x3d. It mentions the setup doesn't perform well but suggests a dual tower 7 pipe cooler like the thermalright peerless assassin with fans could work better, though it might be expensive outside the US. A link to a thread is provided for more details. An alternative option is a noctua nh-d15 if similar solutions aren't available.
I also used a Hyper 212 Black equipped with two fans for some time, and it performed adequately. The CPU would only reach around 90°C before stabilizing, which is acceptable. A slight penalty was noted for the boost. To stay well below 90°C, you’d need to hit a 360/420 rad setting. That temperature feels high, but the CPU is built to handle it. This level of heat is similar to R23 in a loop or comparable conditions.
The Corsair RMX 850 Watt is an excellent choice. While I might upgrade to a 1000 if possible, I appreciate the ability to upgrade and the ample room for future improvements.
