Is my PSU enough?

OK I have been playing around with MSI Afterburner, Furmark and Intel Burn Test. Intel burn test on its own is fine. Furmark is hit or miss. One time it starts and finishes, another time PC immediately restarts. Tried to lower TDP to 90 or below. It always works without restarts, but when I set it back to 100 it still works no issue. However, if I start CPU stress test and then GPU it always immediately restarts.

 

Cinebench - no issue

Superposition - crashed instantly on L, if TDP lowered to 75 crashed on O.

I'm assuming you never get any artifacts during your testing?

 

It's starting to sound like a PSU issue to me. It may be worth trying a replacement unit.

I have 650W EVGA power supply paired with Gigabyte rtx 3060 ti and i9-10900k (not overclocked currently) on Gigabyte Z590 Auros Elite AX. Running Windows 11 as well. Whenever I start a game, it would let me to the menu but as soon as it starts loading actual game PC would immediately restart. Does it sound like PSU or GPU issue? Also, it started just now and before I had no sudden restarts.

That should be good enough for your setup.

 

Install hwinfo and start the sensors, and then try running cinebench for a few loops, and if it's stable, do a run of superposition, then check back with results.

sounds liek a psu issue. 10900k uses a lot of power, 3060ti does not. Do you have many HDDs, fans and led strips? using extension cables?

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 :)

SOLUTION: Got new Corsair HX850 today and problem is solved now. My EVGA B5 650 was faulty and didn't provide steady current so I was getting PC restarts upon loading any graphics content.

 

Ran Superposition today with no issue. All games load fine as well and PC doesn't reboot.
