Hello!   First post here.  So I recently built a system at the Microcenter in my area.  My system contains the 5950X and the Powercolor 6900XT Ultimate Red Devil.   I am concerned that the 850W Seasonic Titanium is not enough juice for the system as a while under stressed situations.  What are your thoughts on this matter?

Usually it would be dissuaded to use a 850 watt. However since its titianium rated and high wattage power supplies are in scarce supply it will probably work and you will have problems finding any better options

Given that it is a Titanium unit, 750Watt+ should be fine.

So I shouldn’t be worried about potential long-term to the GPU and/or other parts?   From what I’ve been reading (yes, lol internet), low wattage can cause display issues, system shutdowns, etc.

Effiency is not quality. There are some titanium Psus that cannot handle 6900XT in anyway.

These can happen.

 

Some Seasonic Psus have problem wiht high transient spike and high power gpus liek your 6900XT. I do not know which ones tho.

 

 

 

What exact titanium Seasonic? If it has no problem with 6900XT it will be fine

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 :)

If it works without shutdowns then there's nothing to be concerned about.

If there is a lot of noise in the sense 12V wire, the PSU will shut down. How do you know? Like the post above said if it shut downs then there is a problem.

That doesn't make sense.  If it's a Gold 750W, it can put out 750W.  If it's a Titanium 750W, it can put out 750W.  All efficiency means is it generates less heat from conversion losses.

You pop the sense wire out of the PSU side of 24-pin cable and see if it doesn't shut down.
