Why This Wattage?
Power Calculation
The recommended PSU wattage is calculated based on the total power draw of your CPU (AMD Ryzen 9 9950X) and GPU (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti), plus approximately 100W for other components like motherboard, memory, and storage devices.
Extra Headroom
We add an additional 30% headroom to ensure optimal efficiency, handle power spikes, and allow for future upgrades. This ensures your system runs stable and your PSU operates in its optimal efficiency range.
Efficiency Standards
We recommend power supplies with 80 Plus certification, which represents higher energy efficiency and more reliable performance. Power supplies are most efficient at 50-60% load, so having adequate headroom is important.
Power Efficiency Tips
Enable AMD's Eco Mode or adjust the CPU's power limits in the BIOS to reduce power consumption when full performance isn't needed.
Utilize NVIDIA's GeForce Experience or similar software to optimize game settings for a balance between visual quality and performance, reducing GPU load.
Consider undervolting both the CPU and GPU. This can significantly reduce power draw without sacrificing much performance, improving overall efficiency.
Special Installation Note
Since the RTX 5070 Ti likely uses a 12VHPWR connector, ensure the PSU you choose has a native 12VHPWR cable. If not, use a high-quality adapter provided by a reputable brand to avoid potential issues.
Usage Scenarios
AAA Gaming
Max settings, ray tracing enabled, smooth 4K gaming experiences across the latest and most demanding AAA titles. High refresh rates are achievable.
Video Editing
Effortlessly handle 4K video editing, rendering, and encoding. Real-time previews and fast exports are easily within reach.
AI Development
Train machine learning models, experiment with AI algorithms, and accelerate AI-powered tasks using GPU acceleration and CPU horsepower.
Installation Tips
Position Properly
Most cases have a dedicated PSU bay at the bottom. Ensure the PSU fan is facing down if your case has bottom ventilation, allowing it to draw cool air from outside.
Cable Management
With modular PSUs, connect only the cables you need. Route cables behind the motherboard tray when possible for better airflow and cleaner appearance.
Proper Connections
Ensure all power connectors are fully seated and locked. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti will require dedicated PCIe power connectors from the PSU.
Test Before Completing
Before fully closing your case, connect the essential components and test that your system boots correctly with the new power supply.
The RM750e gives your 9950X/5070 Ti headroom with ATX 3.1 & PCIe 5.1, future-proofing your build with efficient, stable power.
