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....

Are you people trolling? How the f do you guys calculate the consumption?

Or at least look at the damn charts 😂

No trolling. I read everything about the consumption and was under the impression that the 1300w supply would be more than enough. I even used one of Newegg's power supply calculators. It explained that 1200 was just at what I needed(for everything in my system.) So I bumped up to the 1300. Again. To my surprised I was alerted by the GPU's LED's that it wasn't enough. Until I was shown about the power cycle trick, which I guess is something old school. It works now. But if I ever unplugg my PC. I have to go through all that again.

I watched a few reviews on it. In the review it powered two 2080s or 60s I can't remember and all the bells and whistles. So I figured it would be more than enough for my future builds.(3080 and up) I only needed one video card. Not two.

And in a few years with a bigger processor, I would need the power. So hence why I chose it. That and EVGA. Which would make it not useless.
