Total Power Supply Needed

[🦊Λℚ𝓤ΛƑΛᗯҜᔕ🦊]

I just realized.... if you go in to the "System Info" and click the maximize window button to make it full screen, it has a section on the right when you scroll down "Maximum Power Draw".

For those of you having trouble figuring out what power supply to put in a system to stop bluescreens during benchmark then use this. This "Maximum Power Draw" in System Info is the minimum power supply you need to install for the system to complete benchmarks without failure.

The game actually tells you what to use.

Hopefully this will help some fellow PCBS builders.

Are you sure? I've just tried this in free build, I put in a 75 w GPU and a 51 w CPU into a PC with 1,000 w PSU. The maximum power draw in system info is still listed as 1,000 w. I think maximum power draw is the maximum your current PSU would draw.

Just tested in free build myself before making this thread. Put up a system together with 16 core threadripper and 2 of the max-overclocked 1080 Ti Aurorus cards. Put in a 500W PSU and it bluescreened in 3dmark. Looked in system info and it said 750W for maximum power draw. So I put a 750W in and it completed with no more bluescreens.

So it works when you put a PSU that is lower than what the system needs? That make sense. So maximum power draw means either the maximum wattage the system can pull or the maximum wattage the PSU can give, which one higher. I'll try this.

Maximum power draw means the maximum that the system will require to function, in system info tool. You can put in a 250W power supply and boot up to the desktop in OmegaOS and run the System Info tool and it will still say 750W, even if your current PSU is only 250W. It tells you what the system requires.
