How Much Watts Should I Buy?

I have an asrock b450m Pro 4

2x8 GB g. Skill Aegis RAM 3200mhz

But I want to upgrade to 32 again. So again 2 bars

Ryzen 7 2700x with boxed cooler, although I probably want to upgrade to a be quiet cooler or radiator

I installed 2ssd SATA and a 3.5 inch hdd

At the moment there's a standard fan attached to the case and 2 silent wings 3 from be quiet.

To do this, my mobile phone charging cable is connected, the base station from my steelseries arctis pro wireless, an external 2tb 2.5 inch hdd.

Vapor charger, the g920 steering wheel and a charger for my xbox series 2 controller.

Now to the real question. I want to get a 3080. What kind of power supply should I really buy now?

Tests are at approx. 550 watts, nvidia recommends 750 watts. What exactly am I supposed to believe now?

650 watts were cheaper. Should I choose 650 or 750 watts?

Do you still know a 100 watt light bulb. You can't touch it, so hot.

300 wat is enough. You hardly get it anymore.

I accidentally hooked up an ancient part. 200 watts - Word can do that well. But Farcray shouldn't be played with. It overheats like an iron. Turns off.

Due to this. 400 watts are ok. Your PC won't crash.

The 200v

watts were provided. But 20 minutes does the old one

thing with. Then… Iron.

If you're lucky, 650W will be enough, provided it's a high-quality power supply. But with an expensive gaming PC, I'd rather spend a few dollars more and play it safe. So it's best to use a good 750W power supply.

Ro

400 watts is never enough.

320 are given for the 3080 alone and my 2700x already comes to 105

Ro

The PC is ready. Just want to upgrade. Unfortunately I only took 500watt when I was stupid.

I'm also thinking about the 750 am. It's just a few euro more expensive.

Of course, I would take it anyway if there was no other way

Sp

650W quality power supply is sufficient.

Ro

For sure?

Just want to be really sure. In the end I get 650 watts and my PC smokes

Pi

As you have already written, you made a mistake with your current power supply and bought too few watts, so this time you should buy more!

Sp

Yes I'm sure.

Suppose… Very very very extrapolated

350W GPU

120W CPU

100W mainboard with components

are you at 570W in the extreme case

Ro

And what about the boost mode?

Ro

Really? Thought less

Pi

The PC is ready. Just want to upgrade. Unfortunately I only took 500watt when I was stupid.

Sp

With the GPU? The 350W is more than just the boost mode. The 350W are well above what is needed.

The guy has no idea, but always talks about something meaningless and often gets an award as "Most helpful answer"…

300 hundred watts actually. These are 3 old light bulbs that you have
Burn your fingers

So three ways of ironing.

A power supply unit has a special function. If it overheats, it switches off. I found out by accident. Old 200 watt power supply in new PC… Alse great. Word and so… Then came Crysis. The game didn't like my power adapter… Closed due to overheating.

I only saw in retrospect that it is only a 200 watt part.

It was hot like an iron.

But don't drive yourself crazy. 400 watts are ok. Much more important. Good capacitors must be installed. Often found in the item description. This is very important.
