To get on the Roll of Honour all you have to do is post a pic with your user name on it of your Radeon VII.

How many haribo is the question everyone is dying to know!
Associate
I'm starting to warm to that idea. Under £120 via UPS direct from Germany. Did you look that the manual link I posted? Its interesting how this design used the backplate to clamp the whole card together.
Soldato
Wondering if anyone can answer this question for me.
The Radeon 7's recommended minimum PSU wattage is 750, Yet I have not seen more than maybe 400w drawn for my whole system, Wouldn't a 650w be more than capable or is there more to it i.e rails etc... ?

They quote so high to cover poor quality PSU's that can't but out the Amps on the 12V rail a good quality unit can. Been @ 50% of a PSU's load is also normally peak efficiency.
I'll add an example in a sec......
Ace 750W Power Supply under £22, 12V rail is just 37A
EVGA 750w B3 PSU 80+ Bronze £80, 12V rail is 62.4 A
EVGA BR 450 Watt 80+ Bronze £30, 12V rail 37.5A
So rated 300w less and pushes the same 12V rail Amps!
Which PSU do you currently have?
I'm happy to give you some options, just list all your hardware for me. (even case fans ect, anything that needs powering)

Thanks for the info, My system is completely stable I was just curious, Running a Corsair 1000w RMI unit.
Associate
Won't have an issue with that!
Rail 1 +12V 83.3 A
(standard for a quality PSU like that @ 1000w)
Soldato
Workmate of mine runs a 650w RMi and keeps getting instability, System lockups etc... I have told him to get a higher wattage as that may help but he keeps saying "I don't see more than 400watts used so don't need more" although it could also be a temp problem.

What's this hardware? Could be a long list of things. My sons PC I built at Xmas had an evga gold PSU and it had a faulty 12v rail. Very intermittent too, so hard to diagnose without years of experience.

Available in 14 days, latest update on the site.
Rest of my loop is Alphacool plus there are some other bits I want so will order it all together.
Soldato
Radeon 7, Ryzen 1800X, 16GB memory, 2 x HDD's, 9 x fans, 280mm AIO, I did advise him to get at least the recommended wattage of the R7 but he keeps on saying "I don't see more than 400w used so don't need it"
Associate
A 650w is just Ok for the system at stock, nothing overclocked. For peak efficiency 850-1000w is the range needed.
He might well be getting spikes where the PSU draws overcurrent for part of a second, you'll normally get a restart then or power off.
Associate
I have a 1700 at 1.4v and an overclocked radeon 7 and have seen as high as 449w
Soldato
That's exactly what he's getting, I'll show him this post and hopefully he'll swap his PSU out for something better.
Associate
It's the perfect match for you then lol. I used to like XSPC but there recent blocks don't match up to the other brands and have ports out of the top. My Res D5 is XSPC, CPU block is Thermaltake as it matches my Motherboard so well.
There are benefits with the Alphacool block too, its cheaper that what EK will offer as it comes with the backplate. Which will do a good job with the back of the card getting covered in thermal pads at all the hot spots.
I think I'm talking myself into this lol.
I think you are underating the capability of a well built 600-650w psu here. I doubt it's the psu holding him back, though that psu can be configured for multirail or single rail.
It can sustain 54a 12v single rail, so that's 600-650w, if you take it at say 75/80% load then it's around 500w with absolute ease.
I have a similar 600w psu and it takes my v64 and 4770k into the 450-500's watts system power and has done for over 5 years now with other gpus.

45c is that the temp from wattman ect and not the hotspot?
