Will my PSU be enough for 3070 ?

Hi,

Recently i bought 3070 and thinking if my psu will be enough for this gpu.
I've seen many opinions some are saying 550W will be enough some 650W and some even 750W so i'm confused

I have KOLINK ENCLAVE - 600W Gold

Is this enough or should i get a more powerful psu

Thanks all

Might struggle, its 576W on the +12v but would give it a try before buying a new one. Good luck

any recommendations for a better one?

aiming for less than 100 if possible

Depends which CPU and if you are getting a high tier 3070.

Some CPU such as 3600, 3700x are only 65w. If you have a clocked I9 then that could be 200w.

Stock FE 3070 is power limited at 240w, most of the AIB cards are only 260w.

My 3700x and 3070 with custom loop WC pulls less than 350w from the wall in 3dmark.

This gets you an extra 10A over your Kolink and better quality

I've already talked about it in a slightly different thread and decided to take TX750M which is 750W for 95pounds.

Any other thoughts let me know

I've been running a Super Flower 550W with a 3070 FE for 4 months. No problems.
