Is a corsiar RM850X good enough for 3090+5950x?

My 3090 FE and 5900x (same tdp as 5950x) run just fine with the RM850x. I don't overclock however, so that might change things.

 

On an FE that's fine no matter what you do.

Witnessed and everything.

 

Not that I would recommend it, but I don't really see an 850W having issues with a 3090 and a 3950X, particularly if the card is a later batch variant, of which it most certainly would be at this point.

I'm pre ordering it so it's most definitely the newer batches

yeah, the f*cking c2q q6600 is a 105w part, too.

so should the q6600 and 5950x be compared?

What..? No, they shouldn't be "compared", I was replying to his previous point about a 5800 not being a very high performance part, doesn't mean it doesn't suck back a lot of power... By todays standards a e6750 is a few steps bellow garbage tier, but that doesn't mean it (or a c2q) when OCed + a top tier GPU at the time didn't require a 750 watt PSU. Just because something performs poorly by todays standards doesn't make it not use a lot of watts.
