A Corsair Power Supply That Can Run This Build?

Iver Hicarte · Dec 10, 2016

I know what you're thinking, Why do you need only a CORSAIR power supply. Well, Most of my components in my build are all from corsair, I have OCD, I will like to stick only to one branding on all of my components! So here is my build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tHBfnn I will be overclocking the 6700k to 4.6ghz and I will be overclocking the msi gpu using the so called"oc mode" from msi. I know that my current power supply from my build is the csm 650 watt psu from corsair, is that psu enough for this build. So many people say don't cheap out from your power supply and I believe in that saying. I think the current psu from my build is cheap. So what would you recommend?

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

If you want to play it safe then the Corsair AX1000i is a safe bet.

CorsairSSC :

That's too overkill, I only have 1 gpu and it's the 1060 which is NOT A POWER HUNGRY CARD.

Will this handle the overclock? Specifically, from my gpu and cpu.

The RMX series from Corsair is quite high quality and what I personally run.

Here's the 750W. The 650W would probably be adequate, but the 750W is actually cheaper by $10.

Stock on your load is 335W. Overclocking will not bring it up that much more. I have a similar setup as you can see in my signature and I have the Corsair RM1000x and i overclocking to 4.6-4.7 and my Gfx card is OCed above OC Mode. Memory is also OCed. My load on the PSU doesn't even use half the wattage I have.

You are safe and all in the clear with that PSU! I am enjoying my Corsair power supply.

650W or 750W????

gedwards913 · Dec 15, 2016

Either one will be absolutely fine. I'm a fan of having headroom so I naturally would pick the 750. You won't reach 60% on either.

You can get the 850 for the same price as the 650. Only 109
