Best PSU for RTX 4070 Super

The RTX 40-series Super variants are the latest announced GPUs from NVIDIA, and of course, CORSAIR can provide a number of perfect power supplies for them. Specifically, this article will help you find the best PSU for the RTX 4070 Super, just like we did for the RTX 4090, 4080, and others. Those with a bit of additional cash might be looking for the best PSU for the RTX 4070Ti and 4080 SUPER.

It's t’s worth noting that all variants of this card, unlike some of the regular 4070s will use the 12VHPWR cable, or the triple cable adapter (Included with the founder's edition). So, we’ll make sure to only recommend PSUs that use this connection for simplicity’s sake.

RTX 4070 SUPER SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

  • PCIE 4.0 X 16 SLOT (For best performance)
  • 650W Power supply or greater.
  • MIN 3 x 8 pin PCIE Connectors + Adapter provided / 300W or greater PCIE GEN 5 power cable.

RTX 4070 SUPER POWER REQUIREMENTS

As per usual, we prefer to recommend PSUs with a bit of spare wattage above the recommended amount. This way you’ve got more room to upgrade other components in the future. Additionally, many of our PSUs wont spin the fan at all if you’re only using a small percentage of the PSUs capabilities. If you can afford it, getting an over-specced PSU is the current meta.

BEST FULLY MODULAR ATX PSU FOR RTX 4070 Super: CORSAIR RM850x SHIFT

Given that the RTX 4070 Super needs a PSU around 750W, we’re going with the CORSAIR RM850x SHIFT as our top choice.

It’s fully modular of course, which means you don’t have to deal with a bunch of extraneous cables, but it’s novel side-mounted connections mean that it’s never been easier to manage the cables you do actually need.

This in addition to it’s 80 PLUS Gold efficiency, latest Type 5 micro-fit connectors, and the 10-year warranty, makes the CORSAIR RM850x SHIFT the best PSU for the RTX 4070 Super.

BEST FULLY MODULAR SFX PSU FOR RTX 4070 Super: CORSAIR SF850L

A big ole’ gaming PC tower might look plenty glorious and garner unparalleled upvotes on Reddit, but not all of us have a 3-metre long desk capable of holding a 50kg PC.

This is where a small form factor case like the CORSAIR 2000D come in handy. These cases are designed to accommodate even the largest modern GPUs, however, you’ll need a SF-L or SFX PSU to make the most of the surprising amount of space in these cases.

So, if your RTX 4070 Super is going into a small case, the CORSAIR SF850L is the best PSU to use here. In addition to being way more compact than normal PSUs, it’s still fully modular with an 80 PLUS Gold efficiency rating and a zero-RPM mode. This means you get a smaller PSU without compromising performance.

BEST 750W PSU FOR RTX 4070 Super: CORSAIR RM750x SHIFT

We mentioned at the outset that over-speccing your power supply is our preferred way of buying a PSU. This is still true, however for many people, this might come across as unnecessary. This is especially true if you’re trying to optimize the budget of your PC build. Less money spent on the PSU, more budget for that 4070 Super right?
