Bronze psu concerns?

Tetras said:
If you get a 4070 non-Super it uses the old 8 pins (except the FE) and won't need to use the adapter (included in the card box) like the 4070 Super will. It also has slightly lower power consumption.

I can't comment on the PSU you have, I've never heard of it and I can't find any reviews.

No I'll definitely be going for the super variant as I think it's worth it over the 4070.

Doesn't help I'm afraid. I would need a reputable review from someone like anandtech. The only reviews I can find are very light and don't show the innards.

Looks like the average power increase is around 40-50 watts for a non-Super or 70 watts for a Super, so your PSU would need to be borderline for the higher card to start tripping.

A good unit would have no issue with that card, but I have no idea if that is a good unit.

Yeah i get you, no real reviews that actually break down the build and innards. I think i'm going to get something new as it's out of warranty anyway. What power supplies would you recommend for a max budget of 150 euro?

Hard to say without prices, they're very region dependent, but preferably something in the A-Tier (link) and since you're planning on a 4070 Super, get a PSU with a native 16 pin.

Any of these are fine, they have 10 year (or more) warranty and a 16 pin connector for your graphics:
- MSI AxxxG PCIE5 (anandtech, newer version: hwbusters)
- Seasonic Focus GX ATX 3.0 (anandtech)
- Seasonic GX Vertex (hwbusters)
- Corsair RMx SHIFT (if your case supports side mounted cables) (hwbusters)
- Asus TUF Gold (anandtech)
- Antec HCG Pro (kitguru): based on Seasonic GX Vertex
- Phanteks AMP V2: based on Seasonic Focus GX

Thanks for the info Tetras. Much appreciated.
