[SOLVED] RTX 3070 Ti and 760W PSU

[michtus]

Hi,
I'm planning to buy Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Aorus Master 8GB OC(or any 3070 Ti) which has recommended PSU 850 W. Currently I have Fractal Design Ion+ 760W Modular 80+ Platinum and my question is : do I have to buy a new one as recommended or this should be enough?

the rest of my PC are : Ryzen 5600x, Gigabyte B550 AORUS PRO AC ,Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 , Patriot Viper Steel 16GB (2x 8GB) 3600MHz DDR4 ,Be Quiet! Pure Base 500DX Case

You should be fine. High Power/Sirfa weren't lazy manufacturing this one.

Should be more than enough. Those recommendations are based on worst case scenarios but your PSU is a good quality unit.

Thank You guys for quick response. I will stay with my old (6mths) in that case .

So here the deal :

I have my card, arrived today. I connected it and nothing happened after pressing power button. It has 22 pins, and I connected it with two cables before I did some research that I should use three cable, one for each group of pins which are 8, 8, and 6. After that PC started as usual but I noticed that GPU fans are not spinning at all, don't know if it's normal or not to be honest. Despite this I run very first game i have, and it crashed after 5 min. I turn off PC and since then its like on the beginning, cannot turn on again. Any clues what's wrong? What did I mess up?
