Hi All,

 

So I have been offered an MSI RTX 3090 Ventus OC model. Going to pair this with my i9 10900k running stock but on Asus MCE and all limits disabled. Question is: I have an Aorus 850w Gold PSU. Will i run into trouble powering this GPU?

Yes you will, while 850 watt seems like enough. The RTX 3090 has power spikes quite often, and will trigger your overcurrent protection on you're graphics card. I recommend upgrading to a 1000 watt power supply. Linus has explained this in a couple of his videos, where the PSU would trip the Overcurrent and turn off the whole system and reboot.

That was with two cards though.

no and no. most people are fine with 650-750w psu with the 3090. 3090+10900k around= 650-700w. 850w is plenty. 

 

but that is not high quality psu. get better 850w psu.

 

Edit: aaround 650-750w when overcloked the cpu and gpu. -100w without any oc.

QUOTE ME  FOR ANSWER.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

Sorry I should've also said that this happened to me and my friend on our experience. We had to upgrade because the i9 itself draws a lot of power, and so does the 3090.

Thanks all for the reply. Reading the comments here and on Reddit, high probability of running into troubled water with my PSU. A year ago people would think I'm crazy to go for 1.3k Watts PSU for a new GPU.
