Conclusion and Verdict
A higher wattage doesn’t necessarily mean you are getting a better power supply. So be careful if you aren’t getting one from a reputable brand. Also if you go Gold you are getting a very efficient power supply. You can think of it in this way, an 80 Plus Gold power supply provides 90 percent of its rated wattage as power, and loses the other 10 percent as heat. One thing this PSU has that is absolutely great are the 16AWG PCIe cables. I have heard to many horror stories of cables actually melting or catching fire. Now for most of us that isn’t going to happen unless you are trying pull to much through one cable, but with these new cards it isn’t a terrible idea to have the thicker cables. This power supply also comes in black incase you aren’t into the white. This power supply check every box as a reliable power supply goes.
I can’t tell you how many times I have been saved by a good power supply. I work with an open test bench and am always unplugging and plugging stuff in while my system is on. Having a capable Current protection can be big a sigh of relief. And this power supply has you cover with OVP, OPP, SCP, OCP, UVP, OTP protections. This can be a life saver, if you plug something in wrong!
Now for the big question will this power supply power the new cards? Yes the power supply meets the requirements for the 3090 and everything below. For the 3090 you will need a minimum of 750W and 2 PCIe 8 pin connectors. This power supply offers the 750W and has a total of 4 8 pin connectors. So rest assured this power supply will work with the top tier, new cards from Nvidia. The only Card that is going to require a higher PSU is the AMD RX 6900XT at, 850W recommended.
One thing and the most important thing to remember when swapping out power supplies, IS NEVER REUSE CABLES FROM ANOTHER POWER SUPPLY! I would even caution this idea if its the same brand. I learned this the hard way in my past learning because I didn’t want to re-cable a case and come to find out some power supplies connectors vary brand to brand. Here is good explanation of what I am saying. Luckily when I did this I only lost some lights because the power supply was semi modular and that probably saved my mother board and CPU. Anyways take the time and use the cables that come with your power supply at all times!
