CPUs you can use with a 1000W PSU
Assuming you already have a ~200W GPU, here's a compiled list of possible CPUs you can use:
CPU | TDP | Quick Buy |
---|---|---|
AMD Ryzen 9 7900X | 170W | |
Intel Core i5-14600K | 125W | |
Intel Core i7-14700K | 125W | |
Intel Core i9-14900K | 125W | |
Intel Core i7-12700K | 125W | |
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D | 105W | |
AMD Ryzen 5 7600X | 105W | |
AMD Ryzen 7 7700X | 105W | |
AMD Ryzen 5 7500F | 65W | |
AMD Ryzen 5 5500 | 65W |
What CPUs can you use with a 1000W power supply?
First of all we have to make an assumption regarding the rest of your PC, let's start by assuming you have a ~200W GPU. Also, we can assume that the rest of your PC components (MB, RAM, Fans, Storage, etc...) consume an additional 100W, and we'll have an additional 100W of margin. That leaves us with 500W for the CPU.
With 500W you can squeeze in CPUs such as AMD Ryzen 9 7900X, Intel Core i5-14600K, Intel Core i7-14700K, Intel Core i9-14900K, Intel Core i7-12700K.
