9950X3D power draw

[Zeebedy]

hey guys,

looking to upgrade my CPU to the 9950X3D. I currently have a Corsair SHIFT 750W with a 9070 GPU.

Surely this PSU will support a 9950X3D and a 9070???



thanks.

Do you mean a 9070 non-XT? If so, it should be fine.

If you mean a 9070 XT and you're using both, at maximum, at the same time (i.e. not gaming), I'd have preferred something higher wattage. That said, still likely to run without problems.

Should be fine, minimum requirement for 9070 XT is 750W. Some AIB models with slightly higher power limits recommend 800W, but 750W should still be enough.

I was on a 9800x3d. Great chip but had a voucher towards so was a no brainier.

How about a 9950X3D2? I’ve got a spare one here.

It's just me having a tech itch, my sensible "dad of 3" head will put paid to any hopes of me getting it, but I can ask what it's like for my dreams anyway
