I am thinking I should get a new PSU I don't want to smoke my system

when that email from amazon came up saying hey you who favorited this psu last one in existence at msrp is available i didnt hesitate they knew what they were doing ><
 
Just remember, 80% rule. Your PSU can only sustain 80% of the rated power under 100% load. So if you are 850W -> then it is about ~ 680W guaranteed.

hmm could be the reason why a couple of times when playing ark sa my system just rebooted out of know where I know that game is hugely buggy, but it also could be my PSU but my system hasn't done it wit hany of the oerht games I have played so far and I have stress tested using cinibench but I have played any GPU demanding games
 
i found playing ARK Ascended with the 4090 drivers above 566.35 turned this game into a crash simulator 100% of the time if you tried to join any server.

ug finding a psu that will work with both this GPU and my msi pro b65mm-a pro series motherboard is going to be tricky because the CPU power on the mother board has a 6 pin and a 4 pin for connectors now I remember why I bought this PSU

 
I actually replaced my EVGA PSU with the Seasonic 750 because the EVGA would make a sizzle sound when I flip the switch on the back.

Not good.. at least sound wise.

Probably didn't need to be done. EVGA is (was... sadface) a solid company. The little zap sound when flipping the psu kill switch is likely just from a tiny amount of corrosion on the contacts for that switch or a relay. Can happen to any PSU really, especially older ones in humid places.

I still have it, I was planning on using it in a light build for my youngest son. It should be ok..

I just needed an excuse at the time to buy a new toy haha.
