  • You sure that's a good idea? I'm forever telling people they don't need as much PSU as they think, but 750W for a 5950X and 3080Ti sounds pretty close to the minimum.

    It might be ok, but I wouldn't be comfortable risking it. Doesn't seem worth it for the very minor benefits.

  • Agree that the numbers suggest it'll be fine. I'd just be more comfortable with a little headroom.
