You are correct, a 600 Watt PSU is likely not enough or is cutting it very close for a high-performance system like the ASUS ROG G700. The ASUS ROG G700 is a high-end gaming desktop that typically comes equipped with a more powerful PSU to handle its components and provide room for upgrades. Expected Power Supply Most configurations of the ASUS ROG G700 desktop officially feature an 850 Watt or 1000 Watt 80+ Gold power supply. The 600W rating sometimes listed online appears to be incorrect for the standard, high-spec configurations (e.g., those with an RTX 5070 Ti or 5080 GPU). Why 600W Is Insufficient A 600W power supply might be adequate for entry-level gaming PCs with mid-range components (e.g., an RTX 5060), but the G700 is a premium system. High-performance CPUs and GPUs, especially during peak loads and gaming sessions, draw significant power. Power Spikes: High-end graphics cards can have power spikes that exceed their typical wattage, requiring a PSU with sufficient overhead to maintain system stability. Efficiency: PSUs run most efficiently at around 50-80% load. A higher wattage PSU running at a comfortable load is generally better for longevity and efficiency than a lower wattage unit running near its maximum capacity. Upgradability: The G700 chassis is designed to accommodate full-sized, triple-slot GPUs and liquid cooling, explicitly allowing for future upgrades that demand more power. If your specific system is currently running on a 600W PSU, you may encounter stability issues or an inability to properly power all components, and it is highly recommended to upgrade to at least an 850W unit for optimal performance and safety.
