c-attack Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) A typical DD5 pump at maximum might draw 25-30W, so it's not really a large factor in determining what you need for the PSU. CPU and GPU have a much larger portion of the total power consumption. Those devices will determine what you need.

c-attack Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 One other thing to consider. Your typical pump uses a molex or SATA connector for power and then you usually wind up with several more SATA connections for RGB, fan controllers, plus your actual SSDs or drives. I am pretty sure you meant you have a RM850x which has several SATA sockets, each with multiple SATA ports. However, if you have something in the lower PSU power class like a 550 or 600W PSU, often there are not enough SATA/molex connections for a complex water + RGB system.
