[SOLVED] My PC just shut off while gaming....

[AznDang]

I was playing Destiny 2 and 15-20mins in and my pc shut off, but when I play lighter games like league or genshin it doesn't turn off.

could it be that I would need a much stronger psu...i assumed that an 850 would be good enough.

I just recently upgraded my pc and here are the specs:

Lian li o11 Dynamic Razer edition
nzxt z73
9 lian li AL120 fans
24 pin lian li strimmer
3 8-pin strimmer powered by 3 singular 8 pin connector from the psu
RM850X corsair psu
3080ti evga ftw
970 samsung 500gb
500gb Western Digital ssd
2tb and 4tb seagate hhd
intel i7-12700k
32gb corsair vengeance pro 3200 cl16

What CPU, motherboard and RAM?

Test without the Strimers. There are a lot of issues with Strimers (and extensions in general) in combination with recent high-end GPUs.

what temperatures is your CPU reaching while in these games?

a good 850w is fine for the 3080 Ti.
but make sure you have not daisy-chained the PCIe power cables, they need to be individual from the PSU.

Do away with the 3 8 pin strummer’s. Don’t use extensions with such high power gpu.

well these are more like cablemod cables for the GPU. they're are exactly the same from the stock cables that you would get with the psu

Lian Li Strimer is an extension. DON'T USE EXTENSIONS WITH HIGH POWER GPUs. Only use original Corsair cables that goes directly from PSU to GPU.

not necessarily true.
there have been many users over the years finding out that they often do not offer the same quality as the manufacturer included cables and can lead to issues like what you're facing.

CPU is at most 44C
GPU was pulling about 1.2V while being 54C
