I feel like this used to be more true in the past. These days CPUs can exceed their official TDP by quite a large margin, and while in theory they should only do so temporarily, many motherboards default to unlimited boost clocks. (Then again, perhaps you're never going to fully utilize both CPU and GPU at the same time...)
- gambiting 6y agoThat is correct. Nowadays a 75W TDP Intel CPU can use as much as 200W for short bursts. That wasn't the case in the past. However, it should still be possible to find out that maximum draw value for many motherboards and pick a PSU accordingly.
