Even though our 16-core i9-12900K features a hybrid architecture by splitting its cores into performance and efficient cores, it will use a lot of power. That's without even mentioning our Radeon RX 6900 XT GPU and we will be increasing the consumption even further when we overclock. So that leaves us with NZXTS C850 PSU to keep things under control.
This modular power supply comes with an efficiency rating of 80+ Gold and when the PC is not under full load it has a zero RPM fan mode to run quietly. We also love the NZXT cases that the modular PSU cables come in. We reuse these all the time and feel like they don't get enough praise. So, here it is-thanks NZXT!
