New Psu or not?

RC182 · 26 Nov 2022 at 13:55

Good afternoon folks,

Just received my Asrock 6900 xt and recommends running a 850w psu - I know companies like to play it safe.

I am currently running a Gigabyte 700W ( B700H ). Would you change the psu?

Any nice quiet psu people recommend?

Thanks in advance!

I would probablly risk it but this is a good option.

Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 850w

there is nothing good in the black Friday sales at the moment on the PSU front.
I would hold back as well until the prices come down

Nonsense.

Apologies.

Thought the 750w was that price.

I have seen 6900XT needing 1000W with power hungry cpu's, due to power spikes.

Just to add, the Kolink 1050W is good value if you dont wanna pay crazy money ... 140 quid.
