  1. Okay. Thanks everyone. I learnt something new today. For a brief moment, I was afraid I had a potato power supply which damaged an expensive motherboard. And did not want the same thing to happen to the new one. But all of you have clarified it well.
  2. New build. I'm testing different components and fan configurations to see what works well, since the case is old. So even a 200W draw is fine?
  3. I have a corsair RM750x (purchased in 2016) plugged into a Gigabyte Z490 Vision G with i7-10700K. A lot of times, as soon as I turn on the switch on the power supply but not on the case, the UPS alerts me to a power surge. When I measure it using a tool, I see anywhere from 80-200W being drawn without the computer being turned on, albeit only for a second or two at most. I had this similar behaviour with an X99 board but I attributed that to a failing board rather than the power supply. Is this normal? I don't believe so but I still need a second opinion. I never saw this behaviour before but I neither had a UPS nor a power measurement tool then, so I don't know if this has been happening for a long time. Time to RMA this power supply?
