My 4090 runs off my 750 W psu, so 850 should be fine.

No need to bring Scottish politics into it

A quality 850w is perfectly fine, Been running mine since release day from a Seasonic 850w and with a power meter attached to the wall and benching the GPU with different tests in 3d Mark coupled with a 12900k I never saw the highest consumption go over a 718w spike.
Not sure a 750w is sufficient if a CPU was stressed at the same time though but chances are it would probably be fine in gaming.
The only way to get it higher than what I saw is if you was flatlining the GPU and a power hungry CPU at the same time.
Prices for 4080 look really good
What prices, link?
He's talking about this :-
NVIDIA 4000 Series
Got my Ek waterbclock on my 4090FE last night and I am disappointed in EK. Quality of the waterblock is shocking, no where near the levels they used to be. The block doesnt cover the whole board and as such there are two LR22 phases right next to the power connector which are uncooled. Not...

Its a Seasonic Ultra Titanium, sure it'll be fine. Power meter hasn't gone about 680w yet. I have an HX1500i, but I'm testing to see how a good quality 750w will do.
Now a native 3.0 PSU 12VHPWR connector has shown up melted. The melted adapter mega thread has grown too. Nvidia needs to get this sorted.

My guess is that it's just a manufacturing defect. It seems to affect so few cables. However, I bet NVIDIA are in a total panic about this. Or at least the lawyers are.
