What power supply do you need for Intel HD Graphics 620
Short answer
Intel HD Graphics 620 needs a power supply of at least 550 W in a build with a mid-range CPU (500 W with a budget CPU, 600 W with a high-end one). The bare minimum is 450 W; the card's TDP is 200 W, short system spikes reach 475 W. Source of the numbers: FPSHQ calculation from manufacturers' TDP with power headroom (methodology).

PSU wattage for Intel HD Graphics 620 by CPU class
| CPU in the build | Load | Peak | Minimum | Recommended PSU |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Budget CPU (65 W: Core i3/i5 non-K, Ryzen 5 non-X) | ~355 W | up to 435 W | 450 W | 500 W 80+ Bronze |
| Mid-range CPU (105 W: Core i5-K, Ryzen 5/7 X) | ~395 W | up to 475 W | 500 W | 550 W 80+ Bronze |
| High-end CPU (150+ W: Core i7/i9-K, Ryzen 9) | ~440 W | up to 520 W | 550 W | 600 W 80+ Bronze |
Method: graphics card TDP (200 W) + CPU TDP + 90 W for the board, memory, drives and fans; card spikes up to +40% of TDP; the recommendation is load +30%, but not below the peak, rounded up to a standard rating. This model's TDP is not in our database — the calculation uses a typical 200 W.
