try looking into 3.3V monitoring on the Hwinfo64.

I have a combo of Seasonic PSU and Asus MoBo (several years older then yours though) and running in the issue of the 3.3V is running as low as 2.9 during 350W+ GPU load. MoBo detects it and shuts down the system.

The actual reason is quite quircky, since there is NO any high load on 3.3V line. I suppose that the PSU tries to use too clever wire-voltage-drop compensation for 12V that somehow negatively affect the 3.3 levels.

When I got those low 3.3 readings - I reseat the main 24-pin connector several times (both sides, MoBo and PSU) and after this the issue disappeared

Agreed. Monitoring is the only thing that can help pinpoint the real problem.

If the PSU is too weak, the PC should shut down or restart.

Not always. For example, if the PSU the OP has is a dual rail model and the 3090 is only connected to one of those rails, the PSU would not shut down instead the 3090 would be power starved and become unstable. This is a well known problem. If that is the situation then the OP just need to make sure that one power cable is connected to one rail and the other power cable is connected to the second rail.

Tbh, the issues a PSU can cause are so diverse, they should come with built-in displays for monitoring their status/output.

Very true!

Your PSU should be enough, I have a 3080 and runs fine with more hungry system. Your CPU draws less juice than my AMD 5800X.

Didn't read the whole thread, sorry.

Judging by your input so far, my guess is that the GPU VRAM is wasted. Advice? Get your money back and don't buy used GDDR6X cards if you can't be sure they've done zero computing work(load). Overheating GDDR6X chips are prone to a faster degradation under heavy loads.

Except the OP didn't mention any artifacting. VRAM failure would cause that and the OP would have mentioned it. The screenshots they provided in the first post don't show any artifacting either. All signs point to either the GPU die itself having a fault or the PSU. My vote is the PSU.

Especially since the seller tested the card with a similar PSU and it worked just fine.
