Hey everyone, I have a 5070 Ti graphics card that's arriving today, but my new power supply won't be here until June 17th. Currently, I have a 650W power supply, and I'm unsure if it can handle the new graphics card. Should I be patient and wait for the new PSU, or is it okay to install the 5070 Ti in my PC in the meantime? Here are my current specs: 4060 Ti 8GB, i7 13700F, 32GB RAM, and a mid-range motherboard. Let me know if you need more info! Thanks!

You could use it temporarily if you limit your CPU to around 200W in the BIOS. This should keep your system under 550W total power usage, which would be manageable with your current PSU until the new one arrives.
I'd recommend waiting to install the 5070 Ti until your new PSU arrives. It’s better to ensure everything runs smoothly without risking damage to your components.
Got it, patience it is!
What tool do I need to change those settings in the BIOS?
