Hey everyone! I recently built a PC with a Ryzen 7 8700F processor, a Sapphire 9070 XT GPU, an MSI Pro X870-P motherboard, and I'm powering it with a Corsair RM750x 750W power supply. I've started noticing some intermittent crashes when playing Witcher 3 on high settings, which seems strange because it's not an overly demanding game for the GPU. I'm worried that my power supply might not be sufficient and that these crashes could potentially harm my components. Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Are you only seeing crashes in Witcher 3, or does it happen with other games too? Just so you know, crashing usually won't damage your hardware. It might be frustrating, but at least your components are likely okay!
Just a heads up, Corsair has a few different RMx PSU versions. The latest ones are solid and can handle the 9070 XT easily. However, the older models might struggle with power-hungry components. And your Ryzen 7 8700F has a slower connection speed to the GPU, which could also be a factor in performance issues. Just something to keep in mind!
Your PSU should be fine. I use the same power supply with my 9070 XT and it's handled way more powerful GPUs without issues. Have you seen any specific error messages or is it just crashing randomly? What type of crashes are you experiencing? Is it a crash to desktop, a reboot, or maybe a blue screen?
