    use a wattage calculator, most psu suppliers have them and so does pc part picker.

    Bro, I've seen plenty of high end systems that run a Corsair or Seasonic 750w power supply that have absolutely no problems powering a 4090 on high end and overclocked I7 and Ryzen7 systems. Almost all high end psu manufacturers overspec, but under advertise the output of their units. In other words, if you're buying a 750w psu from companies like Seasonic, Silverstone or Corsair, you're in actuality buying an unit that's capable of 850-900w output. I've never seen a gaming computer that needed more wattage than what you can get from a power supply in this range.

    I have the PSU wattage stuff pretty much sorted now thanks. My brain starts to melt when I get a multi rail PSU and working out if I have enough power in each rail to fully cover an individual component like a GPU. Would be interesting to see you cover this aspect in another video in future.

    Plug everything in. If it starts a Fire you might need a better PSU!

      Sounds like a Mechanic my Father saw once. Wasn't sure if part A or part B was bad. Just keep driving until one breaks, then we'll know. It was very comforting as he was trying to make sure all was good before a trip across the country...

    i like to put my build in pc part picker just to see the watts useage then go off that

    You must also factor in the loss of power output over time over the years with the power supply. The 850watt out of a new power supply will eventually drop to 800 or even 750 watts or less over time.
    Also selecting a power supply that matches what you need is not the right way to go.
    Even factoring the over voltage spike you need to add a bit of overhead. You don't want to be pushing the power supply to its limits all the time that you're using the computer.

      @@PhilippeCJR the capacitors and other electric parts degrade. But if you even bothered to search the subject you will find your answer online and there's videos on CZcams on the subject.

      What complete and utter nonsense. What factors, based on his usage are you implying be input into an equation to come to your conclusion? And at what time interval?

    You could always just undervolt hardware as well for lower power consumption with barely any effect to performance.

    These modern computer components really are power greedy. Especially graphic cards! How much more can this really run to? Thanks for your nicely presented and constructive video, Man.

      1000 watt gold psu is good for future upgrade as you don't need to buy again .

      @anggiatmanurung9411 Před 2 měsíci

      it's not that true.. because your PC didn't draw out much power all the time, just get the same watt as the PSU or below just about 100w is good enough
