I'd say so, 700w should be more than enough for that unless it's very old and very knackered. Have you looked in to the 5700/xt black screen issues? Seems to be a common complaint which I believe has a reliable fix now. Unfortunately that's the extent of my knowledge on it

it only about 2 months old I mean it could be 5700xt black screen thing but it was never a problem before maybe they broke the drivers again

Could be that cheap koolink psu, maybe update the gpu bios .

yea could be I was struggling to get a decent PSU out of stock or stupid money

Phantecs 650w gold fully modular is £96, 10 year warranty.

Could ask overclockers to take it back and exchange for the Phantecs, assuming you bought from there.

Did you check to see if you have the latest bios for you gpu ?

yea no bios available I probably just buy another PSU and replace a 8 year old PSU in media server with this

While I wouldn't trust that PSU I expect the problem is GPU related.

Can you test a different PSU, and if not are OCUK cool to RMA?
