Another hardware question
-
Still trying to figure out the issue with my gaming machine... I see the video card used 300 Watts of power at most... (which leaves 700 W from my PSU), but then, other part of my system are also using power, so maybe it was starved with power after all, but I dont really know.. How would I know? I did notice that MWAVE top computer is using 1200Watt PSU (as opposed to my 1000 Watts one), so maybe it is an issue after all..

Unless you're running some super-custom, blown-up liquid cooling loop with a 7000 series and an overclocked 4090, I think a 1000W PSU should be more than enough to handle most systems. Have you tried plumbing your components into [https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/\](https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/) to see whether it flags anything? If there was a power draw issue I'd expect it'd flag it. Also a lot of modern motherboards usually have an LED indicator somewhere which displays a code indicating the hardware issue? Otherwise, back to ol' reliable of removing stuff until it works!

I still think your power supply is faulty.

If I got 1 € for every time I have done trial and error with hardware things... :-D
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I had issues with mine doing weird sounds, the problem was "coil whine?", I just reduced my FPS to 300 in the card settings. Since then soooo quiet. And I don't think I have noticed any difference from dynamic to 300 max. I know, probably nothing to do with your issue, but reducing FPS might be another way to reduce consumption and see if it brings a delay in the problem or something like that.

Super silent... In fact I had to visually check fan are indeed working! Must be because I also have liquid cooling... I ordered a new video card... we shall see :~
