Sounds good, was a little worried.

he somehow conviced me that my psu is to small and thats why i am not getting 100% gpu usage in heavy games.

What percentage is it at? High 90% or so?

 

Also remember to quote people or use @SolarNova so people see your responses

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I needATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explainedgroup reg is bad

In the future, you can just add up the maximum watts that your cables can draw:

 

24 pin ATX: 144W

8 pin EPS: 336W

8 pin PCIe: 150W

6 pin PCIe: 75W

 

This is a maximum of 705W of 12V. Your PSU can supply 63A or 756W of 12V power, so unless there's a short somewhere, you'll never exceed your PSU's power output.

That can be caused by other things.

 

CPU could be holding you back, or even the game engine itself. There are plenty of games that simply cant fully utilize CPU and GPU power due to game engine and APi limitations.

It's fine. For future reference, there are PSU wattage calculators on the internet which will give you a very good idea of what wattage you need. Also, you can get a Kill A Watt or similar device pretty cheap to measure the actual power draw of your specific system if you are curious or if it makes you feel better to know that you are within range.

That's impossible to happen. Computer parts just force the PSU to give them the power they need, if the PSU is too small it will shut down from overload or break of its bad. 

It's not like parts can sense the PSUs max output and stop demanding more power.
