Someone OC'd it to 6Ghz..

3Ghz

 

[Hakanese]

Bah... teach me to do 2 things at once.
Expected the HoF cards to perform that way.. they're rare af, and the pinnacle of Galax's products.
It's nice to see them getting more exposure now people are sourcing cards from further afield

 

[Kaapstad]

The galax card has a 500w bios for normal cooling and yeah I'd hazard a guess it performs the same as any other similiar card like the kingpin or Strix. The galax just has higher upper limits from its component choices but you hit temps limits way before those become useful -

As long as it can beat the Kingpin I am happy.

I am getting really disappointed with EVGA the way they have treated loyal customers outside of North America.

To get on the Roll of Honour all you have to do is post a pic with your user name on it of your RTX 3090

[Born_2_Kill_83]

Saw this interesting video and in it, Linus mentions that both the 6900XT and the RTX3090 produced short 1000w transient spikes on the PSU.

Given the number of PSU threads we already have, I do wonder if in a year or two we'll start to see more threads about dying PSU's and people wondering if their graphics card did it.

Just been through this myself. I had a AX860 PSU, upgraded to the 3090fe and ran 75 hours of Cyberpunk without a problem, few weeks later I'm getting system power off's under load in several games. Stressed CPU and GPU on it's own without a problem so I started to question the PSU, on paper the high quality AX860 should be more than enough but I upgraded to a RM1000x anyway and sure enough the power off's have gone. The AX860 was just under 4 year's old and getting RMA'd I still don't know whether it was on it's way out or if the power draw of the 3090fe was just to much when it spiked.

 

[vapor matt]

I am running an 8pack 2000w psu so if that goes pop i am out lol a 1000w spike will not be kind to many PSU's no matter who makes them. i know of a 1200i corsair that went pop after 3 weeks of 3090 use. was fine for years but 3 weeks of the 3090 and pop pop pop with some smoke!

 

[mikehhhhhhh]

It's an interesting point on the 1000w spikes. I have a Corsair RM850.

I've been trying to play Cyberpunk and have been getting crashses every 20-60 minutes so far.

Other games and benchmarks seems ok, but Cyberpunk is bar far the most graphically intensive. I've been gradually winding down my already mild overclocks on GPU/RAM/CPU but my last step is to test with everything at stock before investigating other causes.

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

I did the same, the only way I could get slightly stable was to run the 3090 at stock speeds and power, this way it would take much longer to crash and looking at things it would top out at 420w doing this. But it would still power off my system every now and again. After upgrading I can pump my card with 120% power and 120 core again.

 

[VincentHanna]

I bought a 1200W Superflower Platinum Plus PSU in 2014 to power (at the time) an AMD R9 295XT + 290X combo

It's still going strong now with my 5900x + 3090 OC

Given it's ability to take all the other components with it if it dies, I'd be wanting to retire a PSU that old by now!

Superflower are good PSU's and it will be fine even now, it has a very strong 12v rail and will protect the hardware just as when new.

 

[scubes]

Yes can say no problem here with my 1200 watt super flower psu.

Don’t appear to be having any power issues myself with my 3090FE but I’ve just upgraded my new build to a 1000W instead as it’ll be paired with a 5950X instead of the current 2700X.

Same my hx1000i going strong from 2014/2015. I bought an rm850x to replace it recently but that exploded within a week so I just refitted it.

Haven’t had a single issue with it ever. Very good quality psu. Does have 10 year warranty so as long as it keeps going I’ll keep it until it runs out. Probably replace it with another similar unit.

 

[FireTwo]

I used a ax750 for a few months no problem even with a hungry 300watt intel and a 500watt 3090.

 

[Ravenger]

I've got a Seasonic Prime Ultra Snow Titanium 750w, and not had any issues with that running my 3090 so far.

 

[mikehhhhhhh]

Superflower are good PSU's and it will be fine even now, it has a very strong 12v rail and will protect the hardware just as when new.

Fair enough. I totally understand putting your faith in it, still not a chance I'd want to take for £2k+ worth of components

 

[VincentHanna]

Home insurance will cover damages like that I imagine.

 

[Radox-0]

It is quiet interesting seeing how different PSU's are coping and more interesting what will happen couple of years down the line.

Have had no issue powering a 3090FE @ 400w overclocked with 9900k on a Corsair SFX 750w unit, nor silverstone 700w SFX unit prior in the heaviest loads I could chuck at them.
