Power Supply Accessories for Intel Core i9-12900 Build?

I'm building a PC with an Intel Core i9-12900 CPU and could use some advice on selecting the best power supply accessories. Any recommendations?

Sure! First of all, you'll need to choose a power supply unit (PSU) that matches your components' wattage requirements. It's important to pick one with a PL2 rating that supports your CPU's peak power consumption.

In addition to that, I found an article on TechReviewer discussing the best choices for power supplies and accessories. You can check it out here Choosing the Best Power Supply for Intel's Core i9-12900 CPU. It has some great recommendations based on different component tiers.

That's really helpful! So, in my case, what would be the recommended wattage range for a mid-tier build?

For a mid-tier build with an Intel Core i9-12900 CPU, you should look for a power supply unit with around 650 watts of capacity. This will ensure that your system has enough power to run smoothly.

I'm building a PC as well and was wondering if there's any benefit to choosing a power supply with higher efficiency ratings like 80 PLUS Gold or Platinum?

Absolutely, going for a higher efficiency rating is a great idea. Not only does it save you money on electricity bills in the long run, but it also improves system reliability and reduces noise levels.

Thank you all for the suggestions! I'll definitely consider these factors when selecting my power supply accessories. Any other tips?

Just make sure to choose a PSU from a reputable brand, as this can help prevent potential issues like system instability or damage to your components.

Good advice! Also, don't forget to add a 100-150 watt buffer to your anticipated total wattage for future expandability and reliability. This extra headroom can be really useful.

That's a great point about the buffer! I'll keep that in mind while making my decision. Thanks everyone for the input!
