Question Need help on choosing the right PSU

[zgzdgz]

Hello ther,I need help on choosing the right psu, since the prebuilt had a "aerocool lux" psu, and from what I read online, it's better to change it to a better one, so I came up with Gygabyte PGM1000, and Corsair 850W RMx, but I can't really tell what are most reliable, yet, not overpriced if possible.
DeepCool Mattrex Mesh RGB 4F
MSI B550M PRO-VDH
RTX 3060
16 GB Vengeance 3200mHz
5900x
2 NvMe drives
1 HDD
Around 6 usb peripherals.

Has the warranty expired on your prebuilt? If no then don’t change anything until is does. Do you want headroom for future gpu upgrades as both PSU’s are way over the top for what you have.

 

[zgzdgz]

Nah, it didnt expired, I am allowed to do what I want with the rig, well as long as I dont break anything, however, I heard that aerocool psus are one of the worst, and people say its better to steer clear of it, so I just confused is it all.

See noreall review about the LUX so hard to say how good or bad they are, but see owners not very happy with it. If you really want to upgrade is the RMx for me the best choice.

Do you btw experience problems? If not just wait until warranty is over, by then the 3.0 psu's are probably more readily available.

Well cant say if those problems are related to the psu or not, but in the even viewer I often messages that windows wasnt shut down properly at say 2 pm 13 minutes, Even though I did not shut down the pc at the time, I was still using it.

 

[Vic 40]

That might well be psu related, but you don't notice these shutdowns?

Well, not exactly a shut down, but, instead windows will just freeze and become unresponsive all of a sudden, only the power button hold will shutdown the pc.

 

[Vic 40]

Since still under warranty should the seller really help you to figure this out. "Freeze" can be many things from psu to cpu to motherboard and even ram. That is just talking hardware.

The pc is powered from the wall directly?

aerocool lux

Which one exactly. There are a lot from junk Bronze to kind of decent Gold.

Could be the RAM or motherboard too.

Is the motherboard BIOS fully up to date?

What's the part number and version number of the RAM?

Through the surge protector. Of course I should just take the rig back to the shop, but since I've upgraded from 5600x that came with the rig to 5900x, I wan't to make the a separate one, like putting 5900x into the x570 motherboard chipset and then use different case and different psu, besides I don't exactly have a spare computer that I could work with, so, yeah

Yes BIOS I've updated like a week ago, and the ram number is CMK16GX4M2B3000C15, though it comes in pairs, so I've already got one pair before, so I've bought another one, except the difference in the versions, rest of the sticks were identical.

Did you clear CMOS after the bios update? If not, do that first.

 

[zgzdgz]

Did you clear CMOS after the bios update? If not, do that first.

Hmm, after every update? I Thought just loading optimized defaults should do the trick.

 

[Nighthawk117]

My vote goes to the Corsair 850W RMx.

No, you need CMOS clear after each one. The reason being, is the microcode from the older bios can still remain and be buggy. Clearing CMOS ensures it's fully wiped.

Just did it.

This is your issue. You're trying to run unmatched RAM kits. Different version is different RAM with different memory IC inside. What are the version numbers of both kits?

No no I meant that I'm no longer using that pair of ram, I'm just using, one pair and so far no weird stuff, besides usb problems, but as far as I remember 5.30 and maybe 2.30 ?

 

[--SID--]

but as far as I remember 5.30 and maybe 2.30 ?

2.30 dus not exsist so must be 5.30 (or 3.20). Is CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 ver 5.30 on the memory QVL of the motherboard?

But you said you have 32GB of RAM and CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 is 16GB?

Yeah I do have, but either use without XMP or I remove one pair in order to use the xmp, but yeah, I've tested each ram kit in each slot and no errors so far.
