Power planning

How much PSU wattage do you actually need?

Estimate total system power draw from official CPU and GPU power ratings, then pick a safe PSU wattage tier with transient headroom.

Estimated peak load:

Recommended PSU tier:

    Uses published CPU turbo/board power and GPU TGP/TBP figures plus ~50 W for motherboard/RAM/NVMe, ~3 W per fan and ~8 W per storage device. Real spikes can exceed averages; choose the next tier up for overclocking or small-form-factor builds.
