Which PSU Should i get to replace my Corsair RM850x?

[Chris J]

Ive had the RM850x for about a week and im running an i9-10900k and EVGA RTX 3080 problem is when im playing Witcher 3 at 4K max settings and Alt-Tab to watch a Youtube video while the game is running in the background it either Causes my GPU Driver to Crash or my System Shuts Off And Reboots itself. Im thinking of purchasing a Seasonic Focus GX 1000w PSU because i heard these GPU,s suffer from Transient Power Spikes.

i think 80% it s not the PSU , unless that i9 is randomly leading to power spikes .

its at 4.9ghz constant with 55c underload. Its the GPU Driver crashing when i go to Watch a Youtube video with the game running in the background. i think its a heating issue on my GPU still testing and trying to pin point the issue. i even went and downclocked my CPU and Turned off XMP in the bios but it still does it. im not Overclocking anything either i literally leave it all on Default.

The easiest way to check this is to underclock the GPU . I use EVGA Precision X for my laptop . MSI Afterburnerr allows only OCing (or at least for my laptop)

edit
some recommend removing the side panel for testing , in such cases.
i too switch to Youtube to watch game helping videos when i m stuck in game . Some things are nearly unpassable .what a bad gamer i am !

It is possible that 850w is not sufficient, but I thought it is just enough, you will find out once you change the PSU.

70c is fine, worry at 90+c

Could easily be the PSU.

A gigabyte 3080 requires a 750 watt psu

And they usually measure that requirement on older i7 cpu's.

So yeah, Try out a new psu.
