rain2_usaI just messaged Jacob on Twitter. Hopefully he'll reply later in the day when they're open. I know he was researching the issue as another person asked him the same question.
nrmazlooAnd here is the response that I just received ... "The concerns you are referring to is within a very specific configuration. If paired a GA power supply with a 3080/90 FTW3 and a high wattage CPU such as a 10900K you may experience some power draw issues. Any configurations outside of this with a lesser power draw should not have any issues as this is caused by the various protections that were built into the power supply. Since the new generation of GPU and Intel CPU have a much higher power draw than previous generations it has caused some issues. Should you have any issues please let us know the specifics of the system specs so we can further assist." So I should be in the clear and I hope this helps others out. Thanks!

Thanks!Thanks for following up. I never got a reply from Jacob, but I guess it's going to be a wait and see kind of thing now. Hopefully it'll be okay. I'm sure we'll report back with problems and our configs if we come across that.
rancel21342I am also having this issue and I’m incredibly frustrated. I bought a brand new 850W GA about 2 weeks before my 3080 FTW Ultra to make sure I was all set. If I raise my power limits on X1 I start to experience crashes. Even with no OC, Raising power limit and trying to run an OC Scan causes my system to crash and reboot. This is on a 7700k, and there is no way this setup shouldn’t work. Now it seems to be a confirmed issue, and based on that response someone here got, there no plan or way to fix it?

Now it seems to be a confirmed issue, and based on that response someone here got, there no plan or way to fix it?Have you contacted EVGA support about this issue? They will want to know your configuration but I'm assuming your setup is well within the "normal" limits of an 850 watt PSU. It clearly isn't working so I hope they will help you out.They should probably pull this line from their product page and wattage calculator until this gets sorted out. Right now if you plug in a 10900K with a RTX 3090 it tells you the 750 GA is a good option.
captainunderpants410I have same set up did that new power supply work?
xeonsSo are the 850 GA power supplies defective when it comes to pumping out enough wattage over the PCIe power cables?
