My PC works just fine, but sometimes i get a lot of stuttering on games, especially on cs2.  On PcPartPicker (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/X3PpRK) the wattage is about 409W.

Do I need to swap for a better PSU or it's fine to stay with this one? Can my pc underperfom with the PSU too close to the limit?

 

Thank you for you time guys 😄

It's not the PSU, it's the CPU.

 

Do you have the latest bios? Latest chipset drivers downloaded from AMD?

 

Which motherboard and cooler? The 5900X is the most power hungry am4 CPU and it's also the warmest.

Yes, i got the last one, updated last week. And did a fresh install, also used the ASUS armoury crate to install all the stuff.

The motherboard is a ASUS TUF GAMING B550m plus, and the cooler it's a DeepCool AK400. 

Here is a picture of hwinfo that may help, i wasn't getting those high temperatures lol image.png.cf8faa7d20f139d1867a0ec8e9e4740e.png

The CPU is running pretty hot. Is the CPU cooler mounted correctly?

 

What's the brand and model of the RAM?

 

Deepcool DA500 is a terrible PSU. Low quality and lacks essential protections like OCP and OTP. That's why it's in Tier E https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

88C For 5900 is to much it starts to throttle at 85C while 90C is the limit, make sure your cooler is mounted and working correctly.
This is more inline how it should look like:

I don't know if 5900X runs hotter than 5950X.. seems like a bit of a stretch. But I can say the cooler is a bit on the small side.  Not sure if KnoTs screen cap is showing his temp during CPUz, looks a bit warm for a score that is under 10K, but it is what it is.

Its 72C while doing CPU-Z stress test, lots of background stuff + kind bad silicon and thats what I get.

I just want to point out another common problem with that CPU on budget motherboards....  that is VRM temps. I have a 5950x and the mid-range board I purchased from MSI would thermal throttle based on VRM temps (CPU/GPU are on a custom loop water cooled setup). I upgraded to the MSI ACE and the problem completely disappeared.

Just something else to check.

I would see what your VRM temps are in HWinfo when you run an extended stress test. I want to say when I was having issues mine would shoot up over 128C
