Question about stress testing

[Rhaemond]

So hey guys, I am encountering a problem with stress testing. I am trying to find out if my GPU or PSU is the problem (most likely the PSU)

 

But the problem is, if I keep stress testing, especially if the PC turns off (no signal) or keeps restarting, after every stress test, am I at risk of breaking my system? I just got my Mobo, RAM, and proc around 3 days ago...

 

Thank you.

Stress testing is a good way to figure out if you have a hardware problem or not. If it can't handle a high workload for which its designed to do, it's defective.

Fuck. I don't know then. My Rx570 at 100% fan speed reaches 74° in 3 mins then shut downs (no signal)

I am using Kombustor. 

Does this mean I have a defective GPU?

Does this happen with any other test?

What do you mean other test???

Have you ran benchmarks with games, 3DMark, or anything else? Kombustor's stress test is specifically designed to be a worst-case scenario, which games do not usually put the GPU under. If everything else is fine except for Kombustor, then the card may still be usable.

Only PES 2019... Which I encounter stuttering then a no signal. 

Tried PUBGM. Sudden no signal then a sudden restart of the system without me touching the front panel. I am suspecting that this is a PSU problem. Since my GPU Temps even under Kombustor are around 70-75 max

Could be possible. Which PSU do you have?

Have you overclocked any other components?

A REX III 2.3 600w PSU from Korea. They say it is true rated but I'm not so sure... It's been a year with me though. And it's acting up now. 

Oh and a side note, I only played PUBGM for a few minutes, my temps never went even close to 60° 

I ran Kombustor earlier for 3 minutes and 0 artifacts were identified even. 

If I buy a PSU, should I get a true rated one or just a generic one? Which should be for my setup?

Nope. None.

I'll deferr this to @LienusLateTips or @LukeSavenije

or a different one?

It has never been given efficiency certification but it claims to achieve 80+ White rating:

Honestly this unit is not recommended for anything above 450W load.

I'm sorry. I just upgraded to a ryzen 3 2200g with a b450m mortar. This is actually my first time changing to AMD. 

 

My previous build with my Intel 4th Gen and a gigabyte b260 board went smoothly with my Rx 570 and Rex PSU... I don't know what is happening now. 

Buuut then again, my i3 was idling 38° and constantly overheating. A repairman told me that it overdrawed voltage causing it to be that way. 

Hmmm... Time to change I guess? Before it destroys my new ryzen and mobo? 

 

How many watts do you guys recommend for my build? And how what brands can you recommend???

all i can find is that it has high ripple...

 

I'll pass this one to @Stefan Payne too

I wonder if we could lure @jonnyGURU into this thread.

More info:

I played PUBGM yesterday no problems at all

 

Today I tried PES 2019 only for it to stutter during gameplay and blacked out my screen.

I also only played PUBGM for a few minutes after the incident before it goes to black and restarts for no reason. 

 

What I also did today though, was update my bios and update my drivers to have the ryzen power plan. 

Again, Kombustor can do 75° for 3 minutes with no problem, until the screen goes to black. 

I don't believe this is an overheating thing, nor is an artifact thing since artifact count was 0/0 until the screen blacked out

Forget Kombuster.  Get Aida64 and run stability test and put a check mark in GPU ,,, let her run for 30 minutes to 1 hour.  If no freeze or signal loss or crash then your fine.  Also do not run synthetic tests as that puts a load on your system that will never happen in the real world.  Your GPU temps are fine BTW.  How are your CPU temps ?

Nothing out of the ordinary for CPU Temps. 60 under load at the very best. 

I just did my research. Feels like it's an Rx570 driver issue. FFS ugh.

Your fine with your temps, like I said please download Aida64 and up in the menu you will find stability test,, Run it like I said for 30min to 1 hour with a check mark on GPU.  Make sure of that and come back with your results.

That Powerex REX III is a scary PSU.

We got him!

 

@Rhaemond I think it's time for a new PSU.

New PSU... that thing is.... let's limit it to bad...

 

Brands don't matter, just quality. Check PSU Tier List in my sig below and find Tier A or higher units in your area

I'll do that later.

I've been using this for a year and now this happens. Maybe it is time for a change.
