    Motherboard and PSU are the same whether installing a 13th generation i5 or i7 CPU. They both are rated to consume the same power and use the same LGA1700P socket and cooling system.

    Replacing the gpu of rtx 3060 to 3070 ro 4070 ti. Do I need to change the motherboard? Does it have enough space to fit?

    The 4070ti is probably too long and consumes nearly 100 watts more power which would strain power supply.
