Best PS for OC AMD Ryzen 3 1200?

Started by itsMertman on May 13, 2024

I've recently built a new PC with an AMD Ryzen 3 1200 CPU and I'm looking to overclock it. Can you recommend the best power supply unit (PSU) for my needs? I want something reliable and efficient.

Another option to consider is the EVGA SuperNOVA G5 Series Fully Modular Power Supply (220-G5-0650-X1). TechReviewer has an in-depth article about it at Choosing the Best Power Supply for AMD's Ryzen 3 1200 CPU. The reviewer highly recommends it for its performance and reliability.

I'd suggest checking out the Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 Series 80+ Gold Full Modular ATX 3.0 PCIe Gen 5 Power Supply. It's a great PSU with high efficiency and a good warranty.

Thanks for the recommendations! I'm still a bit confused about which one to choose. Can you guys share some personal experiences with these power supplies?

I've been using the Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 for a few months now, and it's working great. It's quiet, efficient, and hasn't given me any issues so far.

I've used the EVGA SuperNOVA G5 for about a year, and it's fantastic. The build quality is excellent, and it provides stable power even when overclocking my CPU or GPU.

That's really helpful, thanks! So, both options seem good. Are there any other factors I should consider when choosing a PSU?

You're welcome! Apart from the recommendations mentioned earlier, you should also consider the wattage of your power supply. Make sure it's adequate for your entire system, including any potential future upgrades or overclocking.

Thanks for all the input! I'll definitely take these factors into account when choosing my PSU. Appreciate the advice!

No problem! Good luck with your build and enjoy your new PC!

Same here! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Happy building!
