After deciding on the PSU wattage, the next thing you need to consider is the form factor. They’ll either come in the ATX or SFX form factor. From this list, you can see that the recommended PSU and TDP varies, with some quoting TDPs as low as 320W and 850W PSUs. Despite this, we're going to focus on 1,000W PSUs today, as it gives a bit more breathing room to deal with transient spikes and allows for adding more components to the system before having to upgrade the power supply. We'll also include an 850W option, for those who don't want any extra capacity. BEST FULLY MODULAR ATX PSU FOR RTX 4090: CORSAIR RM1000x SHIFT The new connector is meant to make the power supply PCIe 5.0 ready. They have high power delivery for GPUs with up to 600W of power. Electrolytic: 7x Nippon Chemi-Con (1-5,000h @ 105°C, KZE), 7x Nippon Chemi-Con (4-10,000h @ 105°C, KY), 1x Rubycon (4-10,000h @ @ 105°C, YXJ) ATX power supply units are usually the industry standard for most builds. They are designed to fit the regular ATX, large EATX, and most mATX PC cases.

The PSU controls the system’s power supply for optimal performance and protection, making it the heart of any gaming PC build. My favorite feature about it is the zero RPM fan mode that offers near-silent operation at low to medium loads. Pros: ATX 3.0 is the new specification standard for PSUs. This new design adds a new PCIe 5.0 connector with 12 + 4 pins alongside the usual 6 or 8-pin connection.To be 80 Plus certified means that the PSU has at least 80% efficiency at three load levels of 20, 50, and 100 percent loading.

The Corsair RM850x power supply is highly regarded by most builders. It’s fully modular and has an 80+ Gold efficiency rating. It's vital to note that not all RTX 4090 GPUs are the same. Importantly here, they don't have the same power requirements. Depending on the specific model, they can have different power consumption levels, meaning that you must know the power consumption of your specific RTX 4090 so you can choose a suitable PSU. Additionally, momentary power spikes are not uncommon, so it's best to over-spec your PSU. Consider upcoming GPU power requirements. Although the best graphics cards are usually more power-efficient than previous generations, their power consumption increases overall. This is why the latest 12+4 pin connector that the upcoming generation graphics cards will use will provide up to 600 W of power. Currently, a pair of PCIe 6+2 pin connectors on dedicated cables are officially rated for up to 300W, and three of these connectors can deliver up to 450W safely. You should also add the up to 75W that the PCIe slot can provide in these numbers. The 80 Plus Gold efficiency rating is usually the sweet spot for most gaming PC builds. Anything above this is overkill and quite expensive! ATX 3.0 Compatible

It’s almost impossible to find a non-modular 850W PSU. But some manufacturers design semi-modular ones which are affordably priced. A fully modular power supply unit lets you use only the cable you need for simple and clean cable management. But some manufacturers also design them in white colors to cater to builders looking to build sleek, all-white gaming PCs. Simply put, an 850W 80 Plus PSU will draw a maximum of 1,062.5W at 100% load, which means less wattage is wasted as heat in the conversion process, saving your energy bill. Most gaming builds will need power ranging between 450 to 650 watts unless you use a powerful GPU like the recently released RTX 4090.

It's worth noting here that the SF850L does not feature the side-mounted connectors of the RMx SHIFT PSUs. That being said, it doesn't matter much as small form-factor cases don't allow for such features anyway. Let's look at the specs for this one. I presume you already have the estimated total wattage that your PC will draw, and an 850W PSU is the ideal power supply unit to complete the build. So, here's a table of a few RTX 490s and their TDPs (Thermal Design Power) as well as their recommended minimum PSU wattages. We waited years for a competitor to dethrone Corsair's AX1500i, and in the end it was another Corsair power supply to post higher overall performance. The Corsair AX1600i is the best PSU that money can buy today, period. It offers top performance in all areas and uses an innovative platform, which provides a glimpse at the future of power supply design.

CORSAIR SF1000L SPECS

You’re more likely going to need an ATX power supply. That’s unless the case manufacturer specifically states you use an SFX one. Modular Design Once you have decided on the form factor and modular design, the next thing you need to consider is the efficiency rating you can afford. A non-modular PSU has all the cables permanently attached, while a fully modular design has no cables attached.

I recommend getting a fully modular PSU since it offers total control of your build’s cable management. Efficiency Rating The 80 Plus efficiency rating has since expanded in recent years to categorize different PSUs from the least to the most efficient.Since the new era GPUs require more power— especially the RTX 4000 series, an ATX 3.0 PSU ensures your build is future-proofed for power-hungry GPUs. Color For more on this subject, see our A Basic Guide To Motherboard, Case, and Power Supply Form Factors feature. Yes, you can be safe knowing that as long as it's got 750W of power capacity, it'll be good for an RTX 4080, however, it's always nice to know more just in case, so here's the power table and cable configuration for the CORSAIR RM750x SHIFT. But SFX PSUs come in smaller designs to fit in small form factor (SFF) cases because they don’t have the space needed to fit a full-size ATX PSU. Almost all PSU manufacturers design PSUs with the 80 Plus efficiency rating certification. The “80 Plus” rating system is the industry standard!
