Hey guys,

Ive got the 10900k + 3080, 6 hdds and a AIO which works most of the time but get occasional crashes when gaming with my 750w seasonic.
OCCT power test crashes after a few minutes.

Its definatly the new gpu as i never had problems with the 1070 i used to have.

Are either of the seasonic or corsair 1000w+ psu's fine to use?
im looking for one that will work and be quite enough, just needs to be gold.

I know seasonic is the OG psu brand and i've always bought seasonic but curious if corsair are alright or as loud as your neighbours mowing on a sunday at 7am?

Suspect you will have to list the exact models of each to get proper advice, but noise is hardly the most important criteria for a PSU.

Now, if you are buying Gold and drawing the full 1000W (a bit unlikely), you'd get 88% which means to supply 1000W the PSU will consume 1136W so will have to exhaust (via noisy fans) 136W of waste heat.
A more realistic 600W load (with the occasional burst peak which is why I suspect your PC is crashing), means having to exhaust 81W at Gold, or around 59W at Platinum or Titanium.
In any case, that can't and shouldn't be exhausted passively since you don't want the internal components inside the PSU to get hot, so the quality and size of the fan matters.

noise is most certainly a big psu for some lol. my evga p2 850w fan kicks in every 5 mins and can hear above all else. htpc so driving me nuts. its not super loud but louder than everything else inc noctuas at 900rpm. so much so OP ill sell it to you for £150 if you want so I can get an rm850x which will probs never even have the fan spin (this was the case with a rm650x i had anyway - after 3 years of use, absolutely no dust in it or even the filter).

Strange.
The Nexus review of the EVGA SuperNova P2 850:

Had the fans only turn on at 360W upwards (although in the intro they said the spec was at 170W}.
So maybe your unit is misbehaving. SuperFlower are meant to be quite good, but maybe EVGA got to spec the fan and its ramping profile?
Have to say that arbitrary load-based fans aren't as useful as ones based on actual temperatures but for the manufacture that might require multiple temperature probes.

It's quite possible. I bought the unit whilst in China though so doubt they'd be able to help in uk.
Tbh I doubt I'm even idling at 100w total power. R5 3600 uses nothing.

Anyway sorry op for jacking thread lol

I'll shut up now haha
