Pros

  • I'd get a more reliable PSU, an RM850 (Corsair) would be a good option for example
  • I eyeball the coursair rm850 as well but only after I gotten the evgi one
  • All you need is the direct PSU double 8 pin to 12vhpwr type 4 cable and you're done https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/pc-components-accessories/cp-8920284/600w-pcie-5-0-12v-2x6-type-4-psu-power-cable-cp-8920284?srsltid=AfmBOorlQQy6MmShyKAd...

Cons

  • Hi! I have a really old Corsair RM850. To my understanding there's only one 6+2 PCI-E -> Type-3 slot on it.
  • So i was upgrading my platform from a i7 4790k woth 16gb of ddr3 ram to a 9700x3d with 32gb of ddr5 and i figured my old psu (rm850) corsair from the era of the i7.
  • Old was corsair RM850 and new one is MSI MAG 850
  • I recently bought a PC from a friend, it includes a TUF 3080 OC, NZXT Kraken 360, standard ATX motherboard, and a Corsair RM850.
  • PSU: Corsair RM850 (new but bough after the issue started)
