A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

the mininum is dictated by the rest of the components and decision to limit future upgrades down the line.
after you are aware of what cpu you are using
amd and intel sub 250 cpus usually 150w or less
amd high end and alderlake(12gen, and arrowlake), peaks at 250w
intel raptor lake (13-14th gen) 300w
hedt cpus like threadripper fall under a similar class.
peak 5060ti is just under 200w alone.
add an arbitrary 50w to cover rest of components.
