    NO, you will need at least a 750W PSU and that is just for the 2X 8 Pin cards. For the 3X 8 Pins cards at least an 850W PSU is needed.
  2. Ankerson
    Well yeah, that would have been the 1st thing to look at. Not the MB.
  3. Ankerson
    That's a budget PSU, not exactly the best idea to pair with a 3000 series GPU.
  4. Ankerson
    What PSU are you using?
  5. Ankerson
    It balances the power draw out better for those of us who do OC. The MB will indeed use BOTH EPS connections if they are connected. So if one doesn't connect BOTH and has stability issues then they will need to plug them Both in. If one has the PSU with the connections there is no reason NOT to plug both of them in.
  6. Ankerson
    That will work fine.

    Headroom percentage. Say your system can use 900W of power on a 1000W PSU, that's 90%. On a 1200W PSU that would be 75%.
  8. Ankerson
    It's about overhead really, ROOM. Do you really want to be using 90% or so of the PSUs wattage? MOST as in almost all of those here don't have these cards and are NOT running a system like yours or mine for that matter. So they have no clue what kind of power draw they can really pull down. Been running mine since OCT so I have had it awhile now.

    That's likely plenty enough and it's a good PSU. You could bump it up to a 1200W for that setup. And a few other options would be: Corsair HX or HXI 1000W or 1200W Those cards can pull a lot of power and if you are over clocking then the total power draw can get quite high from the PSU to the system (NOT FROM THE WALL). I have seen mine pull about 800W power draw. 9900K and 3080 FTW3 Ultra.
  10. Ankerson
    Except that PCs are at idle or low power draw most of the time so that would be more than just 2% or 3% difference. That's were the Titanium PSUs really come in, there is a rather large difference.
  11. Ankerson
    The 2 best ones from what I have seen are, Corsair AX1600i EVGA T2 1600
  12. Ankerson
    Yes, replace the PSU with a 750W.
  13. Ankerson
    NO, don't even try it.
  14. Ankerson
    Corsair HX or HXI 1000. EVGA T2 1000W.
  15. Ankerson
    I know what you mean. I had the same as you did in middle school too.
  16. Ankerson
    Yes, it will run fine.
  17. Ankerson
    Best to retire it and use the new one. Keep the old one as a spare.
  18. Ankerson
    600W power draw from a 200W PSU, that is strange. Am I the only one that sees a problem here? I can see the Reddit and posts here coming now.... "Well you only need a 200W PSU here is the video etc, etc."
  19. Ankerson
    Should be fine.
  20. Ankerson
    Me either, which is why I normally recommend replacing them, just incase.
  21. Ankerson
    Yeah, exactly. Hopefully not the hard and expensive way.
  22. Ankerson
    If it's the correct wattage for the machine? Taking a 9 or 10 YO 1000W PSU as an example. Who knows how much it's degraded over that time period.
  23. Ankerson
    You think? It has happened before. Taking on old PSU out of a machine might pull what 300W or maybe 400W and put it into one that pulls 500W to 800W and you really think the risk is low that something will happen?
  24. Ankerson
    And you hook it up and boom it fried the $2000 GPU and motherboard. So you are out $2000 plus the motherboard just like that. I would wait until the new PSU came in while using the old machine. Look at the machines I have in my sig, do you really think I would even think about running an old PSU in any of them?
  25. Ankerson
    Would you hook up an old PSU to a $3000 or more machine that you paid for? Yes I am talking about real money here. Let me know because I am sure I can find one that old for you. And those high end 3080's and 3090's series GPUS that are hard to find, and expensive if you can even find one...
