Initiated RMA process with Seasonic. Their support team is very fast. Well see if it gets accepted.
 
 




Weird thing is, my son has an MSI 3080 in a 3800x system with 32g DDR4, two SSD's, 9 RGB fans and it's all powered by a Seasonic 650w PSU.  It was a $50 psu and it has had no problems running this setup.  Regardless, I'm going to upgrade him to a better PSU since I'd prefer he not fry a 3080 lol.
 


It depends on the model. Older Seasonic Prime Titanium and FOCUS were heavily affected. Check this thread for al the list. some older EVGA are affected oo.




I just ordered one of the older EVGA power supplies. SuperNova G2 1600W. I wouldn't think it is likely that I will have an issue with my 3090 FTW3 Ultra being that large?

PSU Cultists ranks that 1600w G2 as one of the best in Tier A.

Seasonic just sent me the replacement PSU. Hopefully will be here by next week.
I'm impressed at how efficient their support crew are!.

I got the RMA TX-750. No longer shutting down in Apex or EFT with power slider at 100% on a 3090 FTW3. AC input power at 600W in-game.

Go download and play minecraft RTX for a few minutes. That is the real test.

Got a similar one. Pushed Firestrike for a pair of hours in loop. No crash.
Max power spike recorded by my UPS was 720Watts.
 
Anyway, I have my 3080 undervolted now.

My 850w was fine in firestrike and in timespy for many loops. As soon as I played minecraft rtx the PSU went into power protect. It took about 30 seconds. It also went into power protect when I enabled rtx in world of warcraft but allowed me to play for an hour before it did. I would suggest to anyone with a 30 series card to test using minecraft rtx to make sure your power supply is up to the challenge. I upgraded to a 1600w PSU. Overkill I know, but it was all that was in stock 1200w or above and I know there will no issues.

Maybe the PSU is the issue
