Vince mentioned yesterday on the stream that the normal BIOS has a power limit of 450W. They didn’t mention anything about what the OC BIOS power limit is, however, at least during the parts that I watched. LN2 BIOS temperature protection is unlocked, of course, but it’s not clear what the power limit is, if any.

Interesting! I think power limit for OC and/or LN2 bios should at least be 480w since they released xoc bios for ftw3

Steve said the BIOS they were using on his stream was 1000 watts

If we arent going to be doing extreme LN2 OC competitions like Jay and Steve did on Stream, what PSU is likely safe, i know a 1600 is "safe" but its also overkill realistically. 1000w PSU is probably the safe spot for some mid level OC on this i would imagine?

I would say you'd most likely be okay with 1,000-1,200 watts but I wouldn't go lower than that with a KPE. Gotta remember what some of these CPU's can pull when overclocked, as well as all peripherals/fans etc. It can add up quickly.

Yeah, i plan to keep my 1000w PSU with KPE for a bit, i don't plan to do much OC on it, i want to settle in and get used to its function and see if i need to OC it before i start to. Ill upgrade my PSU during next upgrade rotation, here's to hoping it goes according to plan lol

Yea man a solid 1000w should be safe. I'm planning to upgrade mine to a Titanium 1000w PSU. Right now I have a 850w gold EVGA which has coil whine under load with my 3090 FE

Yeah i had an 850w for my 3080, works great, but selling this one to my brother since i got on the KPE wait and upgraded to a Corsair RMx1000w 80+ Gold. All i could find in stock, and honestly, didn't want to wait on new cablemod cables just yet, ill just keep the OC on CPU to min and hold what i got for a while. Its the time of year though that if i see a sale, ill jump on a new PSU though lol

I upgraded my 1000W to a 1300W EVGA PSU in preparation for the KPE. I’m sure that I would have been technically safe with 1000W, but having the extra headroom gives me some peace of mind and will hopefully allow me to upgrade my 9900KS to a future more power hungry Intel CPU in a couple of years without having to buy another PSU. I’m currently running the 9900KS at 5.3 on all cores, so it pulls significant power by itself.

I agree that 1600W is overkill for a single KPE, particularly if you’re not doing extreme LN2 overclocking a la Steve and Jay style.

Hey, 6:00:52 A.M PST for me!

Edit: Whoops, just saw myself on the list.

yeah, i am running a 10900k but currently have it at stock, i haven't needed to OC it at all for anything that i do, so we will see how the KPE does. If i need to, i will, just hoping to get some time out of it before i need to upgrade the PSU and cables again and/or OC things
