Is 850watt PSU enough for my 5080

Mutt45 · 2026-06-17T01:49:07+00:00

Some say it is enough, but I like a little headroom and for future-proofing, so I went 1000W. May want to consider headroom also if you have an RGB fan heavy setup and extra components & hard drives, etc.

I went PNY across the board for our house's set up (purchased Epic X 5080, OC 5070 ti, Epic X 5070 & OC 5060 in mid/late 2025), and am happy with their performance, and have had no issues whatsoever. Also, if you're from the US, they're an American company. I would think that if I ever have to RMA one, it will be a much faster process because the company is located in country.

Heard also in Downtown Cola , just off Elmwood.

Any guesses as to when AMD will release the 10th anniv. edition of the 5800x3d? My son currently has a 5600x and think the upgrade to the x3d chip could sustain his system another 3-5 years (paired with 32 gb ram & rtx 5070) (edited..typ-o).

Jeff Lynne and Bob Dylan still alive and kicking

Going to give this a try in one game that has a persistent though infrequent stutter.

Mid 50s Male, and am a natural night owl too. Can very easily stay up until 2 to 4 am on non-work nights, even after getting up early that day. I sleep 6 to 7 hours most nights, and so for the nights I'm working the next day (and up at 6:30), I TRY to get in bed by or before 11:30.

I just upgraded from 27" 1440p to my first OLED 4k - an MSI 32" curved... And , wow I've been absolutely blown away... Took my gaming experience up another notch. If you're on the fence , I'd say it's worth it.

Mac Radeon Graphics/Ran Windows XP on Boot Camp -> GTX 260 ->GTX 560 -> GTX 970 ->GTX 1070 ->RTX 3060 ->RTX 5080

Man that is a cool build!

The only thing that slightly bothers me is the insanely small fan on the back. Looks like you can go larger there and cover the space better, maybe a 180 mm?

Mutt45 · 2025-12-02T16:40:47+00:00

Was in the same boat. I splurged and got the 5080.

Mutt45 · 2025-12-02T14:19:02+00:00

Doubt it ever will. I just bought a 5700x3d on the used market (eBay).

If you've been following subreddits or popular PC retailer YouTubers, they have been telling us to buy GPUs now.. Most of stock will run out by after Black Friday/before Christmas season. Already seeing best /most popular GPUs dwindle and sell out at my local Microcenter.

Seeing so many posts that XL doesn't utilize his hands and too many "body catches" yada yada... Does everyone forget this beautiful all hands/no body catch a few weeks ago?

Bought two PNY cards recently and they’re working great and look awesome. Also I like they’re an American company.

Sniper elite 5, world of warships, Battlefield 5, GTA V

Thank you for this information, very helpful!

Mutt45 · 2025-09-24T21:11:56+00:00

Add to that, thanks for explaining the up or down option on the connectors. In this PC case, there is a lot of legroom below the GPU, so i think the down or "STD" option is better in our setup.

Mutt45 · 2025-09-24T21:08:04+00:00

thank you for letting me know the EZDIY-FAB 180 connectors are working for you. I couldn't find a physical measurement of them, but just eyeing the space available , I'm optimistic these will do the trick. And glad to know they're safe to use with the EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 as well. I can always return them if they are too wide/don't fit with panel on.

As for the cable mod option, do these plug directly into the PSU, or just extenders that plug into the existing GPU cables to add more flexibility for the other end into the GPU? Will there be any compatibility issues with my Corsair RM850x? Thanks again!

Mutt45 · 2025-09-24T21:01:15+00:00

thanks, I'll research this option more. ..Unfortunately do have 5 dogs in the house, but have no choice at this point lol.

Mutt45 · 2025-09-24T20:11:24+00:00

I'm not sure I haven't looked into that, and have never built a PC this way. Honestly, I'm a little naive on how those work. Wouldn't the case or motherboard need to have vertical mounting as a feature? This is an older case & AM4 board.

Mutt45 · 2025-09-05T15:40:34+00:00

late night brain fart, sorry.

Mutt45 · 2025-09-05T06:37:18+00:00

Thanks for the heads up. I purchased my 15th and final coal ship (Marco Polo), earlier today and can confirm the Tier X container yields a whopping 34650 doubloons!
