Greetings!
I recently upgraded my system with a new case featuring a lot more fans (moving from 3x 120 mm plus the stock cooler's to 8x mixed plus two for the new cooler) and a graphics card (moving from the Sapphire R7 260X OC 1GB to the Sapphire RX 480 Nitro+ 4 GB). However, as I tried to benchmark the system with Heaven, the computer reset itself during GPU-stressful moments. It has also done so on two similar occasions during actual video game gameplay.
My old PSU is a Corsair VS650, which has served me well with the old system. I suspect it is now stretched to its limits though: the system boots and works normally, but without undervolting the RX 480 I face the shutdowns mentioned above. Naturally, I assume it's a PSU issue, and will upgrade to a new PSU when I get paid the coming days.
So, yeah... assuming it's a PSU issue... My question is: will the CoolerMaster G750M suffice? Currently I use every cable of the VS650, and based on my estimates, this will also be pretty much the case with the G750M.
My detailed system specs are below. The CPU is at stock speeds with TurboCore disabled, and the RX 480 is currently undervolted to a max of 1000mV and 1240Hz for the core (from 1150mV and 1306Hz) and 975mV for the VRAM (from 1000mV), which keeps the system presently stable.
EDIT: I am also using the latest AMD drivers.
