Hey! I see your 3060 Ti (Inno 3D 2x Twin OC) is drawing around 140 watts during intense gaming sessions. You mentioned needing at least 200 watts, which is a bit higher than what this card can handle. The PSU has an 8-pin PCIe port and eight pins on the motherboard side, while the GPU side has a loose split end—though the main eight pins are correctly connected. I’m not sure if that affects performance, but I wanted to share your thoughts. Should the GPU be able to draw 150 watts from the PSU and another 75 from the motherboard? Let me know if you need more help! Thanks!

Clocks should remain standard. Software power monitoring is usually not very precise, and the device will draw only the power required for the current task.

Thanks! I've been checking many forums and didn't find anyone who could confirm if this was typical. Sorry, just venting a bit. Anyway, clocks are fine. Appreciate the clarification!

The 3060Ti model with a 200W rating fits the default placement automatically. Check Afterburner or HwInfo for precise power usage details.
