CUD has me already.
Was just wondering if anyone could advise on whether a motherboard with 1x8 pin and 1x4 pin CPU connectors will be sufficient to deliver the required wattage for an i7-14700k at PL2 [253w++] ?
I understand 1x8 pin and 1x4 pin are rated at around 225w safely, but with the i7 and the VRMs being capable of delivering more, would this be an issue in the long term?
The connectors could potentially get slightly warmer than stated if they are pushed past their rated capacity?
I have the option to swap the mobo [mobo has not left the supplier yet] for something with 2x8 pin CPU connectors such as the MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk Max, which can deliver 300w on the connectors.
The current motherboard is a Gigabyte Z790 Aero G, which I had settled on, but only learnt of the Power limits on the connectors fairly recently.
Before everyone comes at me for buying an intel, yes I know it's power hungry and yes the Ryzen X3D chips are better for gaming, but I require cores for rendering and other work related tasks😂.
Yes, my PSU is more than capable, it is a 1200w after all.
