PSU Rec needed — Did Corsair take away power supply link?

[Captain Matt]

Budget (including currency): $150 USD

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Sea of Thieves, Premiere Pro, DOOM

Existing parts: RM650I, Intel 7600K, RTX 2080, 32 GB Trident RGB, Razer Chroma RGB Hub with 4 RGB fans and one custom strip, 2x m.2 drives, Formulamod Sleeve Extension Power Supply Cable Kit 18AWG

 

Hi all,

 

I'm experiencing occasional random shutdowns on my PC after upgrading to an RTX 2080. CPU is 7600k @ stock. Current PSU is Corsair RM650i
I think the issue is the power supply. Only happens in games and even then very occasionally. Is this a correct diagnosis? Is there a way to know for sure?

I've ran MSI Kombustor for 30+ mins with no issues. Super weird stuff.

 

Anywho, the Corsair RM650i as a really cool feature that lets it link into iCue where I can monitor stats. Did they take this off of the new PSUs?

 

What PSU would you recommend? I'm a big fan of the BeQuiet stuff.

 

 

Thanks

Most thermal and fan stats can be seen in a variety of software these days. I wasn't aware that that was a thing, I just used other programs for that.

 

As far as good brands I really like the newer Thermaltake PSUs. Be Quiet! is good too if you get the newer ones that just came out. These days any PSU that is ATX 3.0/PCIe 5.0 Compliant is just about standard these days and the new Thermaltake and MSI Models come with the new 600w 16-Pin Power Cable for the 40 Series RTX GPUs. I'll link 3 below for you. They are all A-Tier Rated on the PSU Cultist List also.

 

If you need any other help you can DM me or send me an email: pcheroesbiz@gmail.com and if you like this please mark this as the Solution.

 

Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 TT Premium 850 W 80+ Gold $140.00

 

be quiet! Pure Power 12 M 850 W 80+ Gold $135.00

 

MSI MPG A850G PCIE5 850 W 80+ Gold $130.00

What other programs let you look at PSU stats?
I thought the connector was required to see any of that data!
Though, now that I think about it, I guess it is all running eventually into/through the motherboard and could be pulled that way...

I mainly use Hardware Monitor. Sometimes a good A or B Tier rated PSU might have software you can download on the product website usually called "Tools or Utilities". And yes everything in a way is connected to the Motherboard so why not get info on everything connected to it.
