Good PSU for ROG Maximus XI CODE

Hello there
 

I have a ROG Maximus XI Code paired with a 9900k, a Strix GTX1080ti, 16gb Ram, all watercooled inside a Lian Li p011 dynamic... But, the most limiting factor in my build, I admit, its the PSU, a Corsair RM650x ... I mean, its running ok, but since the i9 is a power hungry beast... You get the idea... My point here, is that the MB has an 8 pin cpu conector PLUS 4 pins (for adition CPU power while OC). I've been trying to OC for a while, but found my CPU really struggling a bit at 5,1GHZ all cores... Or even only 5... I tried 1.35vcore, 1,38v, even auto... Only to find my system not 100% stable... (Temps are not a problem, since I have a costum watercooling loop)...

My question here... Is really worth it going for more power into the CPU? And what good PSU do you recomend (with 8pins + 4pins)... ? 

:) Thank you

Still watching the video... So... Basicaly, even with power wattage room, im stuck with these "4 phase" bottleneck? 

 

I'm not entirely sure with it... but it might be a big part of the problem

Thanks anyway... But still, on the PSU side... I will need to get one with two CPU connectors, am i right? 

normally you only use that if you're on LN2 or something... Gigabyte Aorus motherboards are really nice on z390... Litterally 3 times as many power phases on mid-range boards
