Pc crashes under gpu load

Hey, I just built a new pc (specs below) and everything runs great except for when i run anything that puts the gpu under stress, the whole system randomly crashes, stops displaying output, and every fan cranks all the way up. I dont think its overheating since nothing gets above 80° under load, so i narrowed it down to either a faulty psu or graphics card. The gpu was open when amazon sent it to me so i think that mightve been part of it. Does anyone have any idea of whats going on before i try returning the gpu?

 

Cpu - Ryzen 5 3600x

Gpu - gigabyte 1660 6gb oc

Ram - g.skill trident rgb 16gb (2x8gb)

Mobo - asus rog strix b450i gaming

Psu - evga 500v

Ssd - samsung 970 evo plus 250 gb

What specific 500 watt PSU do you have

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 need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

The gpu is factory overclocked, do you know how to change this?

MSI Afterburner or EVGA Precision (essentially the same tool). For testing lower core clock by -100 and memory by -200.

Though I would send back the GPU if the package was open. Never accept anything that has been opened, don't even let the delivery guy hand it to you.

 

Also what exact GPU model is it? (Amazon link is sufficient)

Cus if it's that one: https://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/gigabyte-geforce-gtx-1660-gaming-oc-review,1.html
80° is at least 10°c too high.

@Nord or quote me if you want me to reply back. I don't necessarily check back or subscribe to every topic.

 

Amdahls law > multicore CPU.
