AX1000 with 9700k no issues here, I also have an AX850 I can test this week, was planning to use with that with my second rig when stock stabilizes and I can get another one.




 
I have a Seasonic Prime Ti Ultra 750W I could test this week in my other machine also..
 
All I have to do is put the 3080 FTW3 in that machine and see if it shuts down etc.
 
I know both my HXI 850 and HX 850 work..




Mind testing it? Planning on getting a 3080 FTW and I have a Seasonic Prime GX-750 (SSR-750GD2, the refresh of the Prime from last year with the new naming scheme).




 
I plan on it this week...

And keep in mind that 750 watts from a "cheaper" model tends to be very different "watts" than from a high end model.  Engineers design them.  Marketing puts the labels on the box.  Usually, the difference is the cheaper model can make it's rated power if everything is PERFECT.  The high end model can make it's rated power when everything is hosed. 
 
Also, there are more than one power rail in a power supply and the sum up ALL the power rails to get the supplies rated power.  That can very much be the difference between models that work and models that don't simply based on the split of power between the different rails (aka: not enough juice in the +12V rail).
 
And, when it comes time to invest in a new supply, keep one thing in mind: They tend to hang around a LOT longer than many other components in the computer do, especially if you buy wisely up front.  So be willing to spend a bit more on a better supply.  It is cheaper in the long term.
 
I had a friend many years ago who wanted to completely upgrade his computer, but it wanted to keep the old case and power supply to save a few bucks.  The PS was a VERY cheap POS supply that he had picked up in the past because it was cheep...  I told him there was no way in HADES I would reuse that supply with newer/better components. 
 
He went cheap. 
 
Two months later he called me over to trouble shoot why his computer wouldn't turn on.
 
The power supply had failed with the increased load.  And when it died, it killed his mother board and CPU as well.
 
Don't be cheap on power supplies.

After reading this thread I'm starting to worry...
 
I have an EVGA SuperNOVA G3 1000W 80 Plus Gold.




 
Try it and let us know, we haven't seen anything on the G3's and the 3000 series yet either way.
 
So far the only EVGA PSU that we know doesn't work is the GA...
 
 





I have to score one first...lol
 
At this point, I'll take any 3080/3090 I can get my hands on so in the end, it may not end up being a FTW3 Ultra.

OK, just tested it. 
 
Worked fine, ran a bunch of tests including Furmark to stress it out and the Seasonic Prime Ultra Ti 750W is good to go.
 
Now I have to put the other machine back together again, put the 1080Ti FTW3 Ultra back in... Etc.
 
Was a PITA, but at least we know it's fine now.

Ok.  This gives me hope.  The ASUS ROG Thor is apparently based on the Seasonic Prime Ultra, just with some bells and whistles added.  Picking it up in a couple hours.

Sorry for the hassle and thanks for testing it

The other machine is in a computer desk and I had to add the 3rd PCIe cable, that was an adventure as the case (Focus G) is tight fit between the PSU and HD cages.... Managed it without taking the PSU out so that is something.

Likely the same issue, and I've seen elsewhere that Seasonic will affected PSUs with the newer model.

Just grabbed an EVGA 850 P2. Hope that fixes it
