PSU Help

[SpadeGuerrero]

I'm changing my old seasonic s12ii-520bronze (520w) psu for a new one (Corsair Rm750x 2021(750w)

This is my rig: MOBO: Asus Rog Strix B550-F Gaming, GPU: AMD Rx 6600xt (ROG-STRIX-RX6600XT-O8G-GAMING), CPU: Amd Ryzen 5 5600x, RAM: XPG Spectrix D50 RGB DDR4, 3600MHz(4x8)

I like to do enough OC to my components.

I've experienced random shutdowns, when i leave my pc on with games and stuff then i come back and my pc fully reboots, no blue screens.

The question: Is this a good PSU nor a good upgrade?

It's a huge upgrade.

 

So, when you replaced the PSU, the old PSU didn't do this and you changed no other hardware?

Are there any electric clocks in the room are they off time wise?  Starting at the wall it may be a wall power issue.  Got to rule that out before worrying about PSU power.  At this point it could be anything including OS settings or even an unstable overclock that forces a hard reboot.  I don’t know if there’s an autoreboot time on the BSoD or not.  I could see it being done just to prevent stuff from getting burned into your screen.

  Sorry for not making me clear, Old SeaSonic PSU randomly shut Downs or reboots my PC, no wall power issue, no unstable overclock(I don't like to do any kind of extreme overclocking(CPU Is OC to 4.6Ghz) I think Is just not enough power for my current rig. I currently don't have the Corsair PSU that's the one I want to buy and use to replace the Old SeaSonic PSU.

Might not be if the PSU is dying and not making its 520w anymore.  If you’ve got access to a PSU tester you should be able to confirm that, but my personal policy with aging PSUs is to get them out of the machine before they blow if at all possible.   Doesn’t mean you need 750w though.  If it worked fine on 520 before (which sounds like a lot to me for that video card) it will work on it again when a not geriatric PSU is put in.  We’re seeing big PSUs a lot lately mainly because the latest crop of video card seem to be incredibly power hungry ( I’ve heard the next crop may be even worse that way)

Thank you for the help, the problem started when i upgraded my old ryzen 3 1200 and 1050ti to the ryzen 5 5600x and rx 6600 xt.

You had 4 sticks of RAM In your R3 1200 rig too?

 

Test with 2 sticks of RAM in slot A2 and B2.

 

Motherboard BIOS fully up to date?

 Everything Is up to date, my ram Is not the problem as I already tested this(It stills shutdowns or reebot) and run a memory test. I upgraded the MOBO, CPU, RAM and GPU the only thing I didn't upgrade was the PSU(I reuse it) but It randomly reboots or shutdowns the PC(This happen often when im playing games), that's why im willing to buy a new PSU

I see a lot of RAM issues with Ryzen, especially when using 4 sticks.

You tested with only one or two sticks? With and without DOCP, different speed, set manual timings etc.?

 

You bought the RAM as a kit of 4 or 2 kits of 2?

 

You did a clean install of Windows or do you use the old installation?

I tested all 4 sticks in slot 2 and 4(a2,b2), i bought 4 separated sticks(1x4) this way they were cheaper, I indeed did a clean Windows install when i upgraded the PC

So it's not a matched kit and because of that not guaranteed to work together properly.

Can you explain why? This confuses me. I have built PCs for my friends and i do the same method, they havent experienced any kind of problem unlike me.

So count up your draw and see how much PSU you need, then Double it because the sweet spot on most PSUs is 50% capacity.  The double is only needed if the thing runs flat out most of the time you use it.  It will probably browse the net on idle power.
