Best Power Supply for i7 8700k – Do you think that 650W PSU (seasonic gold prime class PSU’s or similar quality) will be enough for upcoming i7-8700k CPU paired with GTX1080Ti?
I thought it will when I was comparing i7-8700k and i7-7700k TDPs that are about the same (i always thought TDP comes in pair with power draw).
But in recent entry in Software reports for i7-8700k you can see there “Average Power 308.5W” whereas i7-7700k in most of reviews didnt draw more power than 140W.
Is it realistic that i7-8700k will require twice as much power as i7-7700k with “just” two more cores?
I was 100% sure that for i7-7700k + GTX1080ti 650W PSU and thought it will be enough for i7-8700k too but now i started to have doubts if i shouldn’t go for something higher like 750W.
ROUND UP

3.Raidmax XT Series RX-400XT
Raidmax announced three XT-series entry-level PSUs, the 300-Watt RX-300XT, the 400-Watt RX-400XT, and the 500-Watt RX-500XT. The three offer a very basic feature-set, but offer a few neat features such as a low-noise, temperature-controlled 120 mm fan; Core “Haswell” C-states support, a single +12V rail design, and modern electrical protection mechanisms, against over/under-voltage, overload, and short-circuit.
The 300W model lacks PCIe power cables; the 400W model offers a single 6-pin cable; while the 500W tops it with a 6+2 pin cable in addition to the 6-pin. Other connectors include 24-pin ATX, 4+4 pin EPS, 4x SATA-power, and two 4-pin Molex. The company didn’t announce pricing.
