PSU for a 3070 and a i9

[Martin James]

Evening

managed to bag a Palit RTX 3070 for my daughters Xmas present. Her current rig has a Cooler Master 650w 80plus Bronze PSU. Will this be ok do you think for the new GPU or will I need to upgrade this?

Not the last word in psu's but should be ok power wise.

My entire rig pulls 350 watts with a 3070 and 3600. I have a 550w bronze and have had zero problems.

Don't bother, more than enough if it's reasonably new

I run 8700k at 4.8Ghz at 1.295v, 16gb ddr4, 2nvme and 3 ssd and tested 3080 Palit OC on my 650w Platinum without issues. Did some benchmark and run a day of games. Your 650w should be enough for a 3070

I have a 3700x and 3070 and use Seasonic 650w Gold with no problems.
