Why This Wattage?
Power Calculation
The recommended PSU wattage is calculated based on the total power draw of your CPU (AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D) and GPU (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 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 in the BIOS to reduce CPU power consumption without significantly impacting gaming performance.
Utilize NVIDIA's GeForce Experience to optimize game settings for the best balance between visual quality and performance, reducing GPU load.
Consider undervolting the RTX 4070 Ti slightly. This can lower temperatures and power consumption while maintaining similar performance levels.
Special Installation Note
Ensure the 12V-2×6 (formerly 12VHPWR) cable from the PSU is fully and securely plugged into the RTX 4070 Ti. A loose connection can lead to power delivery issues.
Usage Scenarios
AAA Gaming
This system can play the latest AAA games at high or ultra settings with smooth frame rates at 1440p resolution.
Content Creation
Handles video editing, streaming, and graphic design tasks with ease, leveraging the CPU and GPU's processing power.
Software Development
Ideal for compiling code, running virtual machines, and developing complex software applications smoothly and efficiently.
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 4070 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's ATX 3.1 & PCIe 5.1 compliance is perfect for your 4070 Ti, and 750W Gold will handle the 7800X3D with headroom.
