Hi there, hope this isn't a dumb question. I have a 3090 Waterforce AIO from gigabyte on it's normal BIOS. I am considering flashing the Kingpin 1000W BIOS so I can use it at 45% 24/7 for gaming at 450W max available power draw. Here's the thing: I don't wanna risk blowing up my AX760W Platinum. If I can't do the BIOS mod without the risk of, at POST/bootup the card drawing on as much power as it may feasibly be able to (seen some people manage to draw 600W continuous from the 3090 with kingpin BIOS) and consequently frying my PSU then it's obviously not worth the risk, but if POST power draw is only 2D power load, I'm thinking I will go ahead with the flash and take the risks. Anyone know for certain if POSTING draws full tilt power, and where I may be able to read indepth about the process for future reference? Thank you!
If it's of any importance, the full build is a 5800X/3090 Waterforce/32GB 3600CL16/2SATA SSDs, 2 NVMEs and 1 HDD all powered by the older AX760W Platinum from Corsair.
