My new graphics card produces a lot of coil whine, and I suspect my PSU might be the cause. I checked the voltages with HWiNFO, and it shows a reading of ~9/10V on the +12V rail. From what I understand, that’s bad and could potentially damage my components over time. My system consists of a 5700X3D, 32 GB of RAM, and a 7800 XT. The PSU I’m currently using is a Tacens Radix VII AG 700W, which I’ve read has a bad reputation online.
That said, mine has worked fine for 4 years, even surviving several outages. However, with the additional power demand from the 7800 XT, I’m worried it’s not up to the task anymore. I’m looking for a budget-friendly but reliable PSU to replace it. After some research, I found two options that seem popular and affordable: the Corsair CX 750 and the MSI MAG A750BN.
I mainly play Microsoft Flight Simulator, and my sessions can last up to 12 hours, keeping the GPU at nearly 100% usage the entire time. This puts my PC under a lot of stress, so I need something dependable for this kind of workload.
Here are the ones I’m considering:
Do these seem like good choices for my setup? Would they be able to handle my usage scenario?
