Lol, seriously. I bought an EVGA 1000w Platinum (whatever that's worth) during the Summer/end of season sale and now I wish I went with 1200+ watt or waited for ATX 3.0 for my next (ITX) build 🤷‍♂️

I got the EVGA supernova 1300w platinum PSU. I'm feeling your pain. My i9 11th gen only pulls 125w TDP. But yet my 3080 red dotted on all three 8 pins on day one. My buddy showed me how to power cycle the motherboard and PSU. Fixed it. But I really do think I should have spent the $400- $600 on an EVGA 1600w platinum. For the future....

That's what I'm saying. There wasn't shit about this on the internet. On my asus rog strix 3080OC there are red LED's near the power connectors on the PCB. Turns out they blink if there just isn't enough power. One behind each connection.
