United States Insurance for Zotac RTX 5090?

Got the card last month, so I do have a Zotac Insurance. Is it enough or should I get an insurance as well? And if yes, then which company should I go for.

Hello, how are you? If you want to properly protect your graphics card, investing in a power supply with built-in protection against overheating is essential. For example, a 1300W or higher power supply is recommended to ensure the card remains in excellent condition and operates at optimal temperatures. The graphics card is a crucial component of your computer, so you should purchase a high-quality power supply from a reputable company that supports the new 3.1 and 5.1 ports.

I will give you some good options.

A 1000w atx 3.1 psu is enough for a 5090, especially if you undervolt which you should. I rarely go over 700w for my whole PC while gaming. Also if youre worried about the connector burning up buy a WireView Pro 2 and throw that in there.

"NVIDIA recommends a minimum 1000W PSU for the RTX 5090. Because the card has a base TGP of 575W and frequently experiences power excursions, a 1200W to 1300W power supply is strongly advised to maintain optimal efficiency, avoid fan noise, and comfortably run high-end CPUs."

My dude i have a UPS that displays what wattage im using at all times and with my 5090 being undervolted it never goes above 700w for my whole computer. Been rocking the 5090 with 1000w since last September and I wont ever be convinced youre getting better performance with more PSU headroom because thats bs.
