Designed with a native PCIe 12+4pin connector, the Toughpower GF3 series is compatible with Intel ‘s ATX 3.0 specification and is built for next-gen PCIe 5.0 graphics cards.
The wattage marked on 12VHPWR’s connector is the recommended wattage. (Ref. Intel design guideline)
The native 16 PIN (12VHPWR) PCIe connector of GF3 850W can deliver up to 450W for PCIe 5.0 graphics cards.
Note: Recommended wattage is an estimation of system power demand. Actual power demands may vary based on specific components, usage, and many other factors.
This is the one I was thinking of buying.
As I could see in the psu tier list, in the Tier A there’s a psu Thermaltake | Toughpower : GF3 <=1200W, so I guess that includes the psu I’m trying to buy?
It would help @phillpower2 if he also knew your computer specs.
I suggest.
[HEADING=3]Can you Download and run and then post. Speccy - Free Download
To publish a Speccy profile to the Web:[/HEADING]
[HEADING=3]In Speccy, click File, and then click Publish Snapshot.[/HEADING]
In the Publish Snapshot dialog box, click Yes to enable Speccy to proceed.
Speccy publishes the profile and displays a second Publish Snapshot dialog box. You can open the URL in your default browser, copy it to the clipboard, or close the dialog box.
The last part of each URL is randomized, so only people you provide with the URL will be able to find your profile.
The information given in Speccy cannot be used by anyone to hack your system

These are my specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
GPU: RX 7800XT
RAM: 32GB DDR5 5600Mhz
Mobo: ASUS Prime A620M-K
OS: Win 11 Pro 64-bit
I can do the speccy thing once I’m back from work
This is going over old ground as the OP was recommended this PSU in their previous thread here that had to be marked as they abandoned it

Doesn[ICODE]t work like that I[/ICODE]m afraid, proof of this being the Toughpower GF3 1650W being rated at a lowly – Tier B • Mid-range
You can`t afford to have any grey area when it comes to the PSU so we need to know the actual brand of the GPU, if AMDs own fine but brands like ASUS, Gigabyte, Power Color and Sapphire etc may have a higher power requirement.
I use and suggest only four brands but for others that may read this thread, if a PSU from a lesser know brand is not on the Tier list don’t purchase it.
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
RAM: 32GB DDR5 [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]5600Mhz
If not already you will at some point have stability issues running the RAM at 5600 which is some 400MT/s faster than the CPU can handle long term, this likewise has been explained previously.[/COLOR]

Have you had this build up and running yet.
The gpu’s brand is Sapphire and yes I have this build running on a very bad cooler master psu which I’m looking to upgrade

I was looking for a psu with a bit more wattage to future proof my pc bc I’m planning to upgrade the cpu in the future. Something in the region of 7800x3d. Would you mind recommending a bit more powerful psu, around 800-850w?
If not upgrading anything but the CPU you would not require a PSU upgrade, if set on an PSU upgrade the PSU with a ten year warranty here will do you, be sure to read the More Info: More about the product…

So u basically recommend buying this psu over the Thermaltake one I posted earlier?
I do not use or recommend Thermaltake but that is my preference and it doesn`t have to be yours.
The nearest that I can get to reference for the version of Themaltake PSU that you ask about is the 750W RGB version and that has been rated as Mid Range but without any evidence of any testing, not for me based on that alone.

Thank you very much for the help, I’ll take your advice and go for the bequiet one

In the link that you sent in the title it says dark power 12 pro but it is actually a dark power 12 M… Does that make any difference whatsoever?
