I'm building a new computer and I need some advice on choosing the best power supply unit (PSU) for an AMD RX 6700 XT GPU. Any recommendations?
Best PSU for AMD RX 6700 XT?
Started by VintageGamer1900 on May 07, 2024
The Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 Series 80+ Gold Full Modular ATX 3.0 PCIe Gen 5 Power Supply and EVGA SuperNOVA G5 Series Fully Modular Power Supply are some of the best options for your AMD RX 6700 XT GPU.
I've read a detailed comparison on TechReviewer about this topic. Check it out here Choosing the Best PSU for AMD's Radeon RX 6700 XT GPU. They covered quite a few power supplies specifically for the RX 6700 XT, including the two mentioned by @Danny0402.
Thanks for sharing the link @CandySona. How do these PSUs compare in terms of efficiency and cable management?
Efficiency-wise, both Thermaltake and EVGA power supplies offer high efficiency ratings. The 80+ Gold certification ensures that they operate at an 80% efficiency or higher under various loads. In terms of cable management, modular cables can make a big difference in keeping your build neat and organized.
I agree with @coldblow85. Modular cables are definitely a plus when it comes to managing the cables in a tight space. It's also important to consider the power output you need for your system. The RX 6700 XT has a peak power consumption of 230 watts, so make sure the PSU you choose can handle that.
That's good to know @CandySona. I'm thinking of using mid-tier components, so do you think the EVGA SuperNOVA G5 Series with 650-1000 wattage would be sufficient?
The EVGA SuperNOVA G5 Series should work well for your mid-tier setup. It has a good balance of power output and efficiency. Just make sure to add a buffer of around 100-150 watts just to be safe.
Thanks for the advice, everyone. I'll definitely check out those PSU options and do some more research before making my decision. I appreciate your help!
