A bit out of the loop hardware-wise and a bit of a funny, specific question I have... I'm looking to upgrade my PC later this year when the next gen of GPUs and CPUs come out. It's for a completely fanless (hopefully no psu fan!) system(see sig if interested).
Can I realistically run the upcoming raptor lake i9 CPU overclocked (?350w) plus say a 4090 overclocked (?500w) and say 2 m2 ssds and a 20w water pump on a 700w seasonic prime tx700w/silverstone nj700 700w(rebadged seasonic) passive PSU (with added water cooling on the psu)? I'd be adding a large watercooling block to the base of the psu, which for previous watercooled fanless PSUs adds ~200w to the PSU capacity, so I'd guess call it 900w capacity plus the safety overhead on wattage seasonic give, but reviews haven't tested, annoyingly!
My understanding is from reviews of seasonic prime tx700w fanless the conponents/psu is rated for more wattage than specified for (? is it the 850w or 1000w seasonic prime tx series, but with bigger heatsinks and no fan?).
I've been running an old system of overclocked i750 at 4.2GHz (~250w I think) plus crossfire 290x (600w+?), 18w pump, 5 fans, 2 hdd off a Seasonic x750 psu quite happily (reviews at the time stated it has significant overhead over the stated 750w), so wondering if the 700w passive PSU is possible, or whether you feel it's a terrible idea and to go for say the corsair ax1600i. Thanks for any advice!
