    It is rare, but you are safer. High-quality PSUs from good vendors rarely have issues. Seasonic had (has?) also issues with the Prime series tripping with RTX 3000 cards, even though this was (is) probably an NVIDIA issue rather than Seasonic's. I have read that too. I think most quality PSUs...

    I would sell the old one. Never had double GPUs, if that is what you are referring to. Only once at work where i used both an AMD and NVIDIA GPU, each card was connected a different screen. I was doing some measurements and suprisingly, it worked fine! Yeah but if something goes wrong...

    You’re right. Thanks!

    You think so? I do not intend to overclock. Even if a GPU spikes to 500W, the CPU can be limited to 150-200W (assuming both are 100%). So, I feel that you would end up most of the time with an underutilized PSU. There are also inefficient at low loads. Of course, low loads is low loads, so the...

    New PSU suggestion

    I think all the latest are CWT, including the ones you mentioned (source here). AX was Seasonic. Not that it makes a difference, I just pointed that out because I checked it recently. Why not? I assumed that it is supposed to be "safer" in case everything else goes to hell. However, in my...

    Recent Corsairs are CWT. There have also been great reviews on the new Corsair RMx series as well. It is only gold, but still. Not many reviews on the renewed Seasonic Prime-TX unfortunately. I don't know, I am still not convinced that staying single-rail on high wattages is safe (850+). Then...

    New PSU suggestion

    This will be used for my work, so the budget is relaxed. Corsair's Titaniums are on the 1500W+ range, which is extremely overkill for a machine with a single GPU that runs in stock. And the whole point of increased wattage is to cope with the recent huge energy high load demands from GPU and CPU...

    Same here tbh, my old Corsair AX850 died after 5-6 years, but I think it was also out of warranty back then. They are, but I assume it's a good brand. Seems 12 Pro is getting good reviews, 12 is so and so as it has very high OCP on each of the multi-rails. Don't really care about the money on...

    Never used them and can't find them here (Greece), I've heard they're good options. I'm leaning towards the HX (850 or 1000).

    New PSU suggestion

    As far as I know, Corsair has moved to CTW for high end units (BQ has FSP and CTW). Can you elaborate on the single-rail? My thought was that at least on 1000W having high OCP on a single rail can be rather dangerous. Of course that depends on the PSU quality features. I'm currently on a SS 750...

    Thanks for the answer. Corsair has got me confused with their namings, HXi is EOL, low-wattage AX are also gone. Seems that people (this generalization is what I deduced by scouting the Internet) prefer HX1000 over anything else. Seasonic has 2 years longer warranty but is single-rail. Not sure...

    New PSU suggestion

    Hi there, I am getting a new system with a 3090FE and a 12900K, which is expected to be pushed from time to time, but I do not plan to overclock. Checking the specs of these I see that a 3090 has a TDP of 350W and 12900K of 250W at stock settings (600W total). Which high-grade PSU would you...
