Question Cpu has too much wattage

[Xgenothic]

So I recently upgraded my cpu but I think it is taking too much wattage in, I have the Fx-6300 before and now I have the Fx-8350 and now when I play high graphic games my computer just shuts off out of no where. I thought it was due to the temps but they stay good the whole time so I think my cpu might be taking in too much wattage and I need help on underclocking it possibly.

These are my parts
Power supply: EVGA- 500W 80+ certified.
CPU: Fx-8350
Motherboard: Gigabyte-GA-990FXA-UD3 R5 ATX AM3+ Motherboard

If you can give me some idea as to what the problem is or advice on how to underclock it to specific voltages, all is appreciated!

What GPU are you using?

Unless your overclocking the 8350 there shouldn't be a voltage issue.

According to his other thread its an 8GB RX580

Question - Possible cpu overheating

So I recently just upgraded my cpu to the Fx-8350 which I know is an old cpu but my motherboard is really old and I didn't want to spend the money to basically buy another computer. I also upgraded the GPU to the Rx 580 8gb and it was running like a charm. Then there was this constant problem...

It should work, but if the psu is as old as the fx line, it could be faulty.

Could be an issue with the poor quality PSU , providing stable power.

So yea if that EVGA is the B1 or W1 then it's not really a good PSU for a gaming system that has the RX 580.

What PSU would you recommend?

I'd get the Seasonic Focus Gold 650W or EVGA G3 650W.

The G2's are older but still good, so are the B2's.
