Intel Core i9-10900KF Power Supply Recommendation?

I'm building a PC with an Intel Core i9-10900KF CPU and I need some advice on choosing the best power supply. Can you guys help me out?

Sure! You'll want to make sure you have enough wattage for all your components, especially if you plan on overclocking or adding more parts later.

That's right, @Scollins03. I'd recommend checking out TechReviewer for a detailed comparison of power supplies compatible with the i9-10900KF CPU. This article Choosing the Best Power Supply for Intel's Core i9-10900KF CPU should be helpful. They cover everything from top-tier to mid-tier components and their respective wattage needs.

@egraider, thanks for sharing that link! So, if I'm planning on a high-end build with a RTX 4090 graphics card, what PSU wattage would you recommend?

For a system like that, I'd go with at least a 1000-watt power supply. You'll need the extra power for your CPU and GPU, especially if you plan on overclocking them.

@Scollins03, did you know that having a high-efficiency PSU can save you money in the long run? Plus, it's better for the environment. Look for one with an 80 PLUS Gold or Platinum certification. The TechReviewer article I mentioned earlier goes into more detail about this.

That's great to know! Thanks for the advice. Are there any specific PSU brands that you'd recommend?

You can't go wrong with Thermaltake or EVGA power supplies. They're known for their quality and reliability.

@Scollins03, I would also suggest looking into Corsair PSUs. They have a good reputation in the industry, and some of their models are certified 80 PLUS Gold, which means they're efficient and reliable.

I'm considering going with a 750-1650 watt PSU for my i9-10900KF build. What do you think?

That's quite a range! If you're building a high-end system, it might be safer to go with the higher end of that spectrum, around 1500 watts or so.

@deeblowace, I agree with @MythikiX. It's better to have more power than you think you'll need. Plus, having a bigger PSU allows for future upgrades without needing to replace your entire system.

Thanks everyone for the help! I appreciate all the advice. I think I'll go with a 1500 watt Corsair PSU and an 80 PLUS Gold certified model. Should be perfect for my i9-10900KF build.

That sounds like a great choice, @Scollins03. Good luck with your build!

And remember to always add that extra buffer of 100-150 watts for any future expansions or overclocking. Happy building!
