Then my 3090 FTW3 Ultra is different than the 3080 FTW3 Ultra in that respect.
 
Edit: proof

Is the OC BIOS to the right or left on the 3090?
My 3080 switch came already on the right which is supposed to be the OC BIOS. I guess I could try switching to see if it's backwards.

 
It's labeled...
 
Click it to the front of the card, the side with the video connections.

Nope, works the same way as your 3090 does in OC mode.
 
 

What side is you OC BIOS switch? Right or left?

 
To the left if you are looking at the card, it says OC...

Correct, that would be the right side. That's where it already is.
 There must be something wrong. Great.

I just RMA’d my card. Two PSUs over 750w when calculator says 550w and still restarting. My enthusiasm for these cards slammed into a wall.

 
I know my system pulls a lot more than that... With the 3080 FTW3 Ultra. (And 2080Ti FTW3 Ultra)
 
Plug yours into the Seasonic calculator, it's at least pretty accurate.
 
My actual max power draw is 700W from the PSU to the system, that's not from the wall.
 
Not including power spikes.
 
Gaming loads are between 550W and 600W depending on the game, not including power spikes.
 
GPU not overclocked.
 
 

Yeah that’s why I went up to the EVGA 850 p2 and it still restarted. I’m using a stock 10400 which is locked so my CPU draw is minimal compared to an OC cpu. The EVGA techs seem to be just as confused when I spoke with them. They stated that my Thermaltake 750 should have been plenty. So if these cards are clashing with PSUs they aren’t very hip to it yet.

Make sure that it's actually fully selected to the OC. It may have been bumped. Flip it back to normal then back to OC and reboot.
 
If it still doesn't set fans to always on, register your card if you already haven't and contact EVGA to get them to send a VBIOS for you. Or you could always RMA, but a VBIOS flash is really quite simple when EVGA sends you one.

Anyhow....
 
Was in contact with someone I know at Corsair for those who have Corsair PSUs...
 
He says they tested the RMX, RM, RMI, AX, AXI, HXI, HX and they all do indeed work with the 3000 series cards.
 
So, he said it must be something else going on or a bad card.

Yeah it wasn't all the way over. Working fine now.
 
Thanks.

Alright so I found a solution that seems to prevent my card from powering off the computer (750W Seasonic PSU, Ryzen 2700x, Aorus X570)
 
Dual PSU diagnostic setup: hooked a Corsair CX600M PSU up to my mobo/CPU with my Seasonic 750W PSU powering the 3080 FTW3, drives, pump, fans. So far it lasted a half hour in RDR2 whereas when everything was on the 750W PSU it couldn't make it 5 minutes. I will now begin a Firestrike Extreme loop to see if it holds. This dual PSU situation is confusing my fans and Corsair Commander Pro.
 
So it appears to me the Seasonic calculator that tells me I only need 674 watts for this setup is not presently accurate for whatever reason.
 
I'll be ordering a new PSU...

Again the power draw from the 300 series is greater than advertised as it seems.
Another lie found by consumers🤔
Thank you Nvidia 🙄
