Bit severe mate. :cry:

Yes two dedicated runs of PCI-E will be grand. Bummer if the coolermaster only has one feed - I wouldnt know.

He simply said 'Coolermaster 650w'. We don't know which unit or how many PCI-E cables.

'Can a Corsair 750w run a 3070 Ti?' - Oh yea, absolutely sure it can.

*Corsair CV750w explodes. It still only has a single daisy chain split into two at the end PCI-E cable, and is only meant to be for office / pentium builds despite being 750w.

Its extremely bad advice right now to just think any brand of sufficient wattage will automatically be OK. Like I said people are having total system failures on 850+ PSUs with a 3080.

So I just realized I made a mistake when getting a Corsair CV for my pentium build.

Of I had paid £10-15 more for a decent EVGA 500w Gold rated, I could have gotten onto the EVGA priority list for buying one of their 3080s.

They wouldn't fit my case though, but in that case I would have simply flipped it as I don't want a new case (cant find any ITX case for 280mm AIO, triple slot GPU and 2x3.5 expansion slots).

Mine has all that but only dual slot, and I prefer the FE cards anyway.
