Best PSU for Intel Core i9-13900KF Build?
Started by TheDreamboat on May 18, 2024
For an Intel Core i9-13900KF build, you'll want a PSU with at least 750-1650 watts capacity. The Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 Series and Corsair SF Power Supplies are recommended options.
Another great choice for a power supply is the EVGA SuperNOVA G5 Series Fully Modular Power Supply (220-G5-0650-X1). It's reliable, efficient, and comes in various wattage options to fit your needs.
I've been using the Corsair SF600 for my i9-13900KF build and it's been working great so far. Make sure the PSU you choose supports all necessary connectors and has a higher efficiency rating.
It's also important to consider factors like power consumption of each PC component, as well as certification levels like 80 PLUS Titanium for long-term energy savings and system reliability.
Thanks for the suggestions! I'll definitely check out those options. By the way, I found this TechReviewer article Choosing the Best Power Supply for Intel's Core i9-13900KF CPU that provides more information on choosing a PSU for the Intel Core i9-13900KF build. It's quite helpful.
Great find! That article covers everything from power supply wattage to efficiency ratings and even includes some specific recommendations. Definitely worth a read!
I just wanted to add that having a 100-150 watt buffer for future component upgrades or overclocking is a good idea. It's better to have more capacity than not enough.
Thanks everyone for the advice! I'll make sure to keep these tips in mind when selecting my PSU. I appreciate your help!
