Why This Wattage?
Power Calculation
The recommended PSU wattage is calculated based on the total power draw of your CPU (AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D) 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 CPU power limits in BIOS to reduce power consumption during less demanding tasks.
Utilize NVIDIA's power management features in the drivers to limit the GPU's power draw when not gaming or running graphically intensive applications.
Ensure proper case airflow to prevent components from overheating, reducing the need for fans to run at maximum speed and thus saving power.
Special Installation Note
Connect the dedicated 12VHPWR (12V-2×6) cable directly from the PSU to the RTX 5070 Ti, ensuring it is fully seated and securely locked to provide adequate power delivery and avoid potential issues.
Usage Scenarios
AAA Gaming
This system can handle the newest and most demanding games at ultra settings with high frame rates and ray tracing enabled.
Content Creation
Effortlessly edit 4K video, render complex 3D models, and stream high-quality content with minimal lag or slowdown.
Scientific Computing
Run complex simulations, analyze large datasets, and perform demanding scientific calculations quickly 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 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 offers reliable power for your 9900X3D and RTX 5070 Ti, with headroom and future-proof ATX 3.1/PCIe 5.1 support.
