Okay.

 

So, I got lucky. I can run my 3070 and 3900x on the CX750M with no problems. I ran a stress test for 30 minutes with no issue, and then just to test the limits I went ahead and overclocked both of them. Still no issues after 30 minutes.

 

So, if anyone else has this question in the future, a CX750M is more than enough to run a 3900x + Gigabyte 3070 OC

Oh, i see. So this is more accurate?

 

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-3070-gaming-oc/29.html#:~:text=In gaming%2C the card is,the card higher for longer.

 

That's about right.... More realistic.

 

Then there is the trainset power spikes that are much higher than that, that they can't measure unless they have the right equipment.

 

Like I said the wattage is fine of your PSU, just not sure if that PSU can handle the power spikes or not.

Okay...

 

If it doesn't handle it, will something catastrophic happen? Or will the computer just shut down? Like, will it damage any components?

 

Also could I just solve that by lowering the power limit a bit? 95% or something?

If the protections hold it will just simply shut down and nothing bad will happen.

 

Ah, no, might as well just throw the card in the trash if you aren't going to run it.

 

If the PSU shuts down then get a higher tiered PSU like the RM 750W.

Okay, I guess its just fine to see what happens then. What PSU would you recommend in the 150-200 dollar range? I have a friend thats looking for a psu that could run a 1660ti so my cxm would be good. And i could return the gigabyte one for 90 dollars.

RM 750W would be a good choice as an example.

I don't see either of those sites using an oscilloscope to capture power spikes.

 

Am I wrong?

 

What are they using to measure that power?

WELP.....

 

I know for sure the CX750M doesn't work with the 3080.... He replaced it with an RMX 850, working great now.

 

Shut downs....

Well.. one example?  Isolated incident, perhaps?
