Power Consumption (alien.top)

If Intel's TDP figures aren't actual power consumption figures, how do I go about sizing a PSU?

The biggest unknown power consumers in my books are the motherboard and CPU. I've got figures for most everything else. I'm building a system around Sapphire Rapids. I hear they spike.

Honestly? Use Dell or HP’s research to your gain. Go hop on their site and configure something similar to your expected build. See what PSUs they offer and get something similar in scale. That will probably be overkill but you know it will work - they cannot have those servers crashing due to power.

I couldn't find any useful info on the Dell configurator. HPE seemed to have something similar to what I want to make.
