Posted October 30, 2021 Hi, I just got a Corsair rm850x powering my system: AMD 5900x EVGA 3080 Ti FTW3 Ultra WD Black SN850 1TB nvme 1TB WD SSD 6TB + 2TB WD Black 7200rpm HDDs EK ARGB 240mm AIO CPU Cooler 8x ARGB 120mm fans When gaming Hwinfo64 shows max power draw of 218w for CPU and max of 418w for GPU. So I’m estimating 636w + rest of system power draw is around 680+. And that is without trying to OC yet. Is that OK long term on a rm850x, or should I exchange for a rm1000x instead?

Posted October 30, 2021 It’s working. For now. But I’m worried for longevity and later when I start OC’ing there won’t be much headroom for power spikes from the GPU. Cause I’ve seen reviews where this EVGA 3080 ti ftw3 can pull 514w to 531w. Like https://www.techpowerup.com/review/evga-geforce-rtx-3080-ti-ftw3-ultra/34.html Maybe I should just get a 1000w PSU, like the rm1000x? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst case, OCP trips and you know you need a new PSU.

Posted November 12, 2021 I've always gone by the rule of never using more than 75% of the rated PSU wattage. I'd be curious to know whether this is correct, or just to satisfy my own personal concerns. For what it's worth, I have an Uncle who has extensive electric engineering and computer related (circuit board level) engineering knowledge and he's always told me the same. Trying to figure out power requirements for my new upgrade: Lian Li PC-D600BW Seasonic 1300w Titanium PSU ASUS WS X299 Sage Motherboard Intel i9-10920X CPU Corsair AIO H115i RGP Pro Capellix 8 x 16gb Corasir Vengeance RGB PRO 3200 EVGA 3080 ti FTW3 Ultra GPU EVGA 1080 SC FTW2 GPU LSI 16port SAS card/expander (PCIe x4) Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB (OS) Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB (Games) 2 x IcyDock ToughPower 5 1/4" 8bay 2.5" SSD (2 SATA connector each, replaced each with 2 x 40mmx10mm Noctua fans) 13 x 500GB to 1TB Samsung Evo/Pro 850/860 SSD 5 x 120mm case fans 4 x 140mm case fans 3 x 27" AOC 27G2 (DisplayPort to 3080 ti @1080p 144Hz) Monitors 3 x 27" ASUS VG278HE (HDMI <2.0 to 1080 @1080p 60Hz) Monitors Corsair K85 RGB Keyboard (USB 3.0 with passthrough) Logitech G700s wireless/wired Mouse (USB 2.0) Razer Blackshark v2 Pro wireless Headset (USB 3.0) All of that has power delivery via an APC rack mount Smart-UPS 3000 UPS. Average power consumption is around 375w, but I need to figure out what my system is going to use under absolute worst case scenario with all USB devices on, all drives being accessed, CPU and GPU at full load or 90%(?). Is there a database with some/all of these components wattage usage shown under full load? I do run into these scenarios quite often, believe it or not, because I use this as a virtual lab "server" also. I can have both my nested Hyper-V and ESXi environments running off the 13 SSD drive pool while also gaming heavily. Only exception I'd throw in there is that the 1080 only drives the 3 additional monitors for now. I'm not aware if any of my games would use Physx, which is assigned to that GPU. No overclocking. I've gone through several wattage calculators and they all say I'll use right around 1050 watts accounting for a variation of "most" of the parts in my build, but I still can't figure out if that's an idle calculation. CPU and GPU alone from my understanding could spike those numbers another 100-250w each. 1050+400 puts me, either dangerously close, or well over my 1300w PSU max output. I also wonder if I should step up to a 1600 watt PSU. Everything is new except the case, the 1080, and the SSD's. I'm worried about PSU degradation over the next 12 months, not necessarily right now, and how much life expectancy to lose, and how the PSU replacement timeline moves. And ultimately, does it? The PSU options I've been looking at are the Corsair 1600w digital and the EVGA 1600w T2. Thoughts? Thanks for any help! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 1, 2021 Hello everyone, new build for work purposes: 12900K (air cooling - U12a) 3080 FE (could upgrade to 3090 at some point) 32GB DDR5 6000 Asus Prime-A Z690 couple of NVME Seagate FireCudas 530 2TB couple of SATA Samsung 2TB SSDs 5-6 case fans 5000D airflow case plus (already own) 2-3 monitors 21-30'' I am not allowed to OC, so this is a no. The build will be properly stressed sometimes (rendering, ML, compiling, etc). I might play some games. I currently own a 2yo Prime Ultra 750W after my good old AX860 died. I have read stuff but have been heavily confused with whether I need to upgrade the PSU (long-term safety and reliability first - we get power outages here) wrt multi/single-rail safety issues, GPU spikes on FE cards, etc. What would you recommend? Budget is relaxed on this machine, but any purchase would need to make sense. Some options I've found (in case of upgrading): Prime-TX (850/1000), Corsair HX-(850/1000), Be quiet 12 (850/1000)? Be quiet Pro 12 1200 also seems great, but also unnecessary overkill. Any advice is welcome. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 29, 2021 I need help with my pc I have just bult my first pc and my original plan was to have a i5 12600k and a 1660 super. I got every thing except for the gpu and I assembled it but recently I hade a budget change. I am considering getting a 3060 ti instead but I only have a 450w psu and want to know if I should get a higher wattage psu as i would be pushing the limit of a 450w psu?

Posted December 31, 2021 Has anyone who swapped to a higher wattage PSU noticed a improvement in how you PC was running. I am not meaning going from under wattage to over wattage I am meaning having enough watts and increasing headroom. My setup is a 5900x on a x570 platform with a pcie gen4 ssd and I have 64gb of ecc ram. my gpu is a rtx a4000. and I have 64gb of ecc ram. I swapped from a 560watt psu to a 1000w psu recently both 80 plus platinum's in both cases I use the cables supplied with each power supply. When I stress tested my PC after installing the new PSU it actually seemed happier than before. I am probably imagining it but it just seems smoother now.

Posted January 9, 2022 Hi! I am looking for a upgrade because I got a 3080ti FE yesterday and I built my first pc a month ago, I have a Seasonic Focus GX 650W 80+ Gold and I don't know if this is fine with my build : AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor ARCTIC Freezer 34 eSports DUO CPU Cooler Asus TUF GAMING B550-PLUS ATX AM4 Motherboard Kingston HyperX Fury 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory Samsung 980 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti 12 GB Founders Edition Video Card ARCTIC P12 PST 56.3 CFM 120 mm Fans 5-Pack https://fr.pcpartpicker.com/list/Wdp3cT On pcpartpicker it says "estimated wattage : 544w". Is my PSU enough for this build ? My build is quite atypical so I don't really know what to take with a 3080ti FE and a 5600X. And I read somewhere that the 3080ti FE can go off the power limit such as 420w so I don't know what I need as a PSU. So do you have any recommendations for PSUs to offer me please?

Posted May 2, 2022 Would be keen to hear views (especially jonny's) about whether it's worth me finally retiring my 10 year old AX750. Current system power draw: 5900X running a 4.65GHz all-core PBO2 overclock (pulling about 200w peak package if HWMonitor is to be believed) Gigabyte X570S Pro motherboard 32GB Trident Z 3600 CL16 4 TB NVMe storage RTX 2080 @2055MHz core D5 pump Handful of LED strips Handful of USB devices I'm going to be moving to either a 3080ti or 3090 depending on availability at or near RRP when I come to buy, likely an EVGA FTW3 or similar tier- so most like 3x8-pin. I will be overclocking as far as power, cooling (720mm radiator space) and silicon lottery will allow me to achieve with 24/7 stability. Consensus view seems to be 850 minimum for that sort of requirement. I have a second hand RM850X I acquired for free from a colleague who moved to UAE, plus the trusty AX750 I've been using in every build I've done since like 2011. My current inclination is to go HX1200 as they're readily available for under £200, well regarded and give plenty of headroom (and flog the other two to pay for it), but open to other suggestions.
