6 years PSU on 2700x and 5700xt red devil

[Borret240]

Hey guys, i have some thoughts that its my psu that is fucking my setup up. I just bought the 5700xt red devil and i have got the recomended drivers. only made a custom fan curve. 2700x is only using the amd boost settings from the bios.

got 1 ssd and 2 older drives. 
Have got a complete shutdown when i was playing withcher 3 wild hunt on max settings. it didnt reboot by itself. have just happened once tho. 
Some other strange things like when u open a game and right click and click "update" the update logo stays on the screen and computer is kinda slowed down like hell and cant use anything to stop the game or benchmark start up. i have to reboot the system and then it usually works.

 

I have seen that my watts on the gpu is like dipping from 200w to 40w and that made me think of the PSU as shit and that i got strange problems that is hard to explain.

Specs:

Cooler Master V750S, 750W PSU 
AMD Ryzen 7 - 2700X
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB DDR4 3200 MHz

MSI B450 Tomahawk Max
Powercolor Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB Red Devil

There’s is plenty of wattage, but you don’t have a really good quality model psu.

 

perhaps look at a Corsair RMx (550 is plenty)

[Borret240]

Ok, thanks for fast reply.   I have been thinking of buying RMX serie supply or a EVGA supernova G3

It sounds like it could be related to the PSU. What do your 3.3V, 5V and 12V readings look like, either in the BIOS or HWMonitor/HWiNFO? Have you tried running the CPU at stock?

I'd suggest at least a Corsair TXM, the RMx would be even better, or a Straight Power from be quiet. As @Stormseeker9 said, 550W will be more than enough for your system, but you could go for 650W if you would like some more headroom for overclocking or future upgrades. I would advise against the EVGA G3, as it has some issues, particularly with its OCP and OTP protections. For other options, you can check the forum's PSU tier list:

Better look at Seasonic they make PSU's for Corsair.

And i would go for at least 650w

This doesn't sound like a PSU issue.
Your system is freezing when you try to update a game? I'm wondering if perhaps it's an issue with your hard drive where the game files are stored? It might lock up and the system become unresponsive if the HDD can't read/write the files for the update? You can run software like HD Sentinel and Crystal Disk Info to check your drives status. If it's a Seagate drive there's also Seatools, not sure if WD has an equivalent software.

Also of course basic troubleshooting steps like remove any overclocks, clean install display drivers, etc.

The power consumption of the graphics card is meant to drop when it's not in use. If you're on a loading screen, or if your game has frozen due to another issue, then it's likely that since the GPU is no longer working hard that the power consumption will drop.

 

The Cooler Master V series are pretty good power supplies. You shouldn't have any issues with your system while using that PSU, and I don't think the issues you described are related to the PSU.

Ok i did take a dump file of the HWMonitor. i didnt know really what you wanted to see so look in the file please.

No i havent tried to have drive in stock. but i didnt have this problem with my 1060 6gb tho it could shutdown games when i had it overclocked

Ok, i have the most games on this one WDC WD10EZRZ-00 htc b0   the 1tb Drive. 
Got windows on my Toshiba SSD drive. no games only software and such
Got some older games on my oldes drive Samsung HD501LJ drive.

The witcher didnt do this with my 1060. 
It has occured now that i upgraded my GPU to the red devil.  the power dip is when i play like running and so and ye i understand that it takes less power in cinematics.

And for that update i meant like u start it by the shourtcut and then u right click on the middle of the screen for example and press update. that window will stay and the computer get slowish and will not react to when i click on witcher symbol in the left corner.

The HWMonitor output you posted earlier shows that drive as only having 1% available space remaining. That might be an issue if you're trying to update the game it won't have enough space to perform the update. Though, that shouldn't cause the system to freeze up.
The HD Sentinel results look fine if SMART isn't reporting any errors.

Since you've gone from an Nvidia GPU to an AMD GPU I would suggest running DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to perform a clean removal of the old Nvidia drivers and also wouldn't hurt to do the same with the AMD drivers and install the latest version from the AMD website.

Uhh, not sure entirely what you mean here. Are you trying to update the version of the game to a newer version? Steam version of Witcher 3? I have the game but I haven't actually launched the game so I'm not sure what the update process is here?

 

Also do you have problems in other games or is it only in The Witcher 3?

Ok, no issue in the smart section. yes i know about the 1% and its on the older drive, the witcher is on a drive with atleast 15gig left and its not going slow when i  update the game itself its when i start the game and update the desktop by right clicking the desktop and click update tab.

i have done the DDU and took away nvidias stuff already i have checked every update for my graphics card and bios for my motherboard.

have played Wow classic without problem,  just cause 4, RDR2  without issues too

... Only the AX Titanium. Most of Corsairs PSUs are not made by Seasonic. You wouldn't say "You should buy HEC PSUs because they make PSUs for Corsair"

We already discussed this in your thread a few days ago. Please stop going around saying that Seasonic make PSUs for Corsair because it's very misleading and most people might not realise that you're referring to only one particular model in Corsairs large lineup of power supplies.

Solved my problem by getting a new PSU (corsair RM850X) and return my GPU in for a 2070super ROG strix. Havent had a problem since this. 

So i will not get a AMD GPU for long time.
