How to make sure your psu works with various brands of threadripper motherboards ?

timmy_area51 · Nov 24, 2017

i was checking an MSI a gigabyte auorus , and an asus , and i noticed each had their own configuration of some 8 pin , 4 pin , 6 pin psu connectors , in addition to the 20 pin motherboards connector . so my question how do i make sure my 700 psu can handle ? not handle but rather connect them all ?!

What PSU and board?

timmy_area51 · Nov 25, 2017

these are the boards i was looking at :

if you noticed MSI has the biggest plastic parts on their boards ,asus always has the most compact heatsinks

My psu is a generic 700 watts iranian made .

Not really sure what you can import into Iran. Also not sure about the rest of your components. However, I would think that any 1000w gold power supply would do the trick. Would not go with less then 1000w or less then gold rated with threadripper.

If your running 2 gpus get a 1200w gold or better power supply.

no i'm only running one gpu and i don't think i'll ever have the budget to run simultaneous gpu's . however the link i posted is an online retailer in iran . those motherboards are available to me without an import tarriff.

Well I guess if you can find a 1000w gold power supply get it. I thought I saw a Thermaltake on that site.

timmy_area51 · Nov 25, 2017

but isn't a 1000 w for older AMD cpu's ? like those aM3+ 9590's ? i thought threadripper was more power efficient than that ?! of course my budget won't allow me to get a 1950x anytime soon ,i'm only dreaming of a 1900 or a 1920 for the moment

this is my psu :

i just want to make sure it works with various threadripper motherboards and their 6 pin 8 pin 4 pin connectors ...

You never mentioned what your gpu is. You may be right about that. Compared to The R7s though it is a power hog. Perhaps you could go down to a 750w.

Thinking about it though, if you have no intention to do crossfire or sli and your getting the 1900, why not just go with the 1800x. you will save yourself a lot of money. Same 8 cores, 16 threads.

well the new threadripper seems sexier , i really want to get one

this is my gpu :

a water cooled 1080 basically , with only a 6 pin connector

and like you said i never had a n sli or a crossfire . i just can't afford it

Nice Seahawk man. I personally am waiting on the motherboard for my new i5 8600k. Since mostly I just game. Can't wait to see if I can hit 5.3ghz

Oh and 52.5 amps on the 12 volt rail. you should be fine
