I recently got a Ryzen 9 5950X but made a slight calculation error - mainly in regards to my PSU. It runs stable in most cases, but if it ever engages the GPU and the CPU together and either of them boost (this is my best guess as I've not spent much time truly diagnosing it) it shuts my system down. Rendering from DaVinci Resolve didn't seem to trip it - but it's been mostly basic edits with slight color correction. Doing a sample scene in Blender shut it down immediately though.
I don't think repeated shut downs would be the best for the hardware long term, plus it's just inconvenient. I will eventually buy a new PSU that supports it all fine - but until then I'd like the system to just not boost at all. I've never dealt with over clocking or anything like that. I build a system and run it vanilla. I edit video and photos for my business, so I prefer stability over full tilt, unhindered power. I have an MSI motherboard with a fairly customizable BIOS. So I would think there's be something there to limit boosting. I just don't know what it would be. Any tips would be appreciated.
An additional inquiry, while I'm on the topic sort of: what PSU might you recommend for future proofing. I lean towards Corsair because that's what I have experience with so far and have liked it. Plus the 10yr warranty is a nice peace of mind too. I also like matching components where possible because I have an odd perfectionist mind that prefers a matching system even over performance in some cases. However, I have also heard great things about Seasonic. So I'm open to the suggestions there. I'd like something with enough headroom to support future systems as well as my current one. I could foresee running an RX 7900XTX or whatever equivalent GPU in the future along with a maxed out Ryzen 9 current gen whenever the time comes. It seems like wattage boosts have settled down and efficiency is being prioritized a little more, so it may not take a 1600W PSU or more in the future to have top of the line performance. Right now I've been looking at 1000W Platinum's or Titanium's. Seems like that would be enough headroom for anything I'd be doing, plus the efficiency and quality that it'll last a looong time to work through a couple systems. Share your thoughts. Much appreciated.
