No worries, definitely something to consider/research, especially as my brother with a 6800 non-XT also recently swapped PSU (to the same as yours, albeit the ATX3.1 model like mine) and experienced the exact same behaviour with coil whine.
Well, maybe I won't be far behind, if... i get lucky with a 5090 FE and my 850w PSU gives up.
If you had an Intel CPU you'd need to worry!
I know! The 9800X3D does use a chunk more power than the 7800X3D tbh. The 7800X3D sipped power like the King sipping tea, lol. I'll give it a go and see what happens. Hopefully no booms.
My 4090 and 13900k were fine on my Corsair SF750
I had a similar problem on my 3090 and coil whine with an evga psu, changed for a corsair 1200w which resolved the problem
Surprise surprise!....
I'd anticipate most models will be £2000-2300, I just cannot see these £2500-2700 prices being realistic, at least once we pass the initial round of low stock and inflated pricing.
The last I heard is that TSMC has actually lowered the price on some of its wafers as its fabs aren't at full capacity. How true that is and which nodes is unknown. What I can say for sure is that 50 series cards will sell out at launch.
Look on the bright side, you may end up with a 5080 (I assume) instead of a 4080S. Do you have a particular model in mind, FE or AIB?I've been reading this thread with interest. I've just built a new PC minus a GPU, last card was a 1070OC. That finally gave up the ghost last month. I'm a little concerned that if I miss out on the 30th, I'll be stuck since there doesn't seem to be stock of the 4080 Super (my original choice) anywhere. Typical that for once I have the money for a new card but supply might be my nemesis!
Currently using video out from my motherboard. I love Balatro but that isn't really what I built this PC for
Yes 5080 is what I’m hoping for. I’m not really sure which model. I do like the look of the FE, but realistically I’ll be happy to get anything at this point. I was lucky enough to score a 9800X3D from OC in the second batch, hoping that luck holds. And I admit that I do feel a little self entitled about it all. I’m lucky to be sitting with a new PC at all, I know plenty of people who wouldn’t be able to prioritise something like that just now. But I’m 53 now, been gaming since 1982. Who knows how many builds I have left in me?!
I would say feel entitled to a new gpu lol, be a hell of an upgrade from a 1070! Im hoping to get a 5090, my first ever launch so not sure what to expect, hopefully we can both get a new card.Yes 5080 is what I’m hoping for. I’m not really sure which model.

I think a lot of it will depend on these all important reviews coming next week. Most people aren't gonna drop £2k+ on a new GPU without seeing some actual benchmarks first, and if the rumoured performance leap isn't that great I think the demand might not be too great after all.
