Hello fellow PC builders.
The reason i have decided to ask a question in here is; one i could not find anything similar or the same as in the nature of problem and two it is quite important for me to preserve the hardware in one piece before it just blows up.
So straight to the problem - i am running i7-3770k with single MSi GTX 970 without overclocking on any of these components and the system seems to consume way too much power in some rare cases.
Let's use Rainbow Six Siege for example; quite demanding title isn't it? I can run it on somewhat stable 60's without a problem but not matter what PSU i am using they give a noise - quite similar to that one of overloaded PSU's.
The same with RIDE 2, sometimes The Crew and some other titles. I am 100% percent sure it is a PSU and to prove it this PC has already killed previously installed Corsair (i'll check the model) 650 PSU. Now system is using EVGA SN B2 850 and it is not as drastic in sound but it is still there. If i disconnect most of the stuff (leaving just SSD with OS and GPU for games bench and obviously MOBO, CPU basically essentials for it to run without use of integrated graphics) the problem still persists.
Apart from i7 and 970 there are also:
x2 SATA 7200
x1 SATA SSD
x4 RAM sticks
x1 DVD drive (yeah i know xd)
x2 140mm cpu fans
x4 120mm case fans
+ PCI-E sound card and internet adapter
So my question is, if that system is till requiring more power or if the problem lies somewhere else?
(Sorry for my english, I am still learning and I appreciate your support.)
