Yes, non-modular PSUs can work well with the Ryzen 7 Pro 2700X, but you should make sure they meet the wattage requirements of your CPU and other components. I found this article on TechReviewer that goes over it in detail: Choosing the Best Power Supply for AMD's Ryzen 7 Pro 2700X CPU.

Thanks for the link, @vanessasublime. I appreciate the info! What's the best power supply to use with this CPU?

Hey, @runnin4mysanity! I have a non-modular PSU and it works fine with my Ryzen 7 Pro 2700X. For your system, you might want to look at some options in the 750-1650 watt range, like the Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 Series 80+ Gold Full Modular ATX 3.0 PCIe Gen 5 Power Supply. It's a great choice for high-end builds.

That's good to hear, @DomanoSV. I'll definitely check that one out! What about efficiency and certifications? Are they important?

They certainly are, @runnin4mysanity. Efficiency is crucial when it comes to power supplies. A higher efficiency PSU can save you money on electricity bills in the long run and also reduces heat generation. It's worth considering an 80 PLUS certified PSU for better efficiency.

I've been using a non-modular power supply with my Ryzen 7 Pro 2700X, and it has been working great so far! The EVGA SuperNOVA G5 Series Fully Modular Power Supply (220-G5-0650-X1) in the mid-tier range provides enough power for my system. I also looked at the Corsair SF series, which are good options as well.

Thanks for sharing your experiences, @Norfolkanchance and @DomanoSV. It's helpful to know what works well with this CPU. By the way, how do you decide on the wattage range for non-modular power supplies?

Well, @runnin4mysanity, it really depends on your system components and their peak power consumption. You can use the PPT limit of the Ryzen 7 Pro 2700X, which is 129 watts, as a starting point. But you should also consider adding a buffer of around 100-150 watts to account for other components and future upgrades.

That's very helpful advice, @vanessasublime. Thanks to all of you for your input! I'll definitely use this information to choose the right power supply for my new system.
