Post owner shared a link of the psu just a couple of comments before that his psu was 200-240V only but this listing is in 115V section not the 230V EU section.

Edit: you are the owner silly me. Is your psu 200-240v only or is it like the one in the 80+ test sometimes some manufacturers get the certification and then change the psu to cheaper one without changing the model it is kind of fraudulent gamers nexus had a video about it.

I also have another question. Is it bad for the PSU if its always use below 40%-50% while gaming?? I´ve found a PSU of cooler Master in BF deals and it has 750w 80+ platinum for 76€ (165€ without discount) and my maximun Pc comsuption is around 400w, that is what PSU calculators said, and obviously while gaming this will be lower. This is the model im talking about https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/power-supplies/xg-series/xg750-platinum/

No it is completely fine middle of the psu power is where the psu is the most efficient and 20 percent to 50 percent is still very high efficiency. High quality power supplies would be fine even on 100 percent all the time.

Ok, thx. By confirming a couple of things i will buy as soon as I can :)

Sadly the problem persist even conecting the GPU with two independent wires, but im goin to keep the new PSU. The GPU can work by decreasing core speed 200-300mhz. This is the PSU I have bought on sale (76€ instead of 165€). https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/power-supplies/xg-series/xg750-platinum/

Software readings are not to be trusted but yeah that PSU can definitely be the problem. The 2070s uses a lot more power than the 1060, and an overrated and generally weak and old PSU would explain why you're stable when downclocking.

Hello paisano. Let's talk in English (or al least try it) because I suppose is the right in an English forum.

Now I see you have a Radix model that is a semi decent model; al least has PFC (active I believe). In the op message you mix 2 diferent models: Radix and Mars Gaming, that's totally garbage like said before.

Although many people says all Tacens PSU are garbage, I think that leastways the Radix ones are usable, but that error seems PSU malfunction. Maybe it is failing by the age.

Instead down the frecuency of the gpu, down the "power limit" to 75-85% in afterburner; this will drop the consumption more than the frecuency but this won't drop so much.

The gpu voltage should be fixed with new psu so this must be a gpu issue :( sad but if you use it 200mhz lower it will still perform good

Yeah, now the voltaje is ultra stable its always in 12.000-12.096v, if i measure with Aida64

Yep, ctd is most likely a bad GPU unfortunately. Not that the PSU is a great one but I doubt swapping it will help.
Let us know how it goes when you test the 2070s in another system OP.
GL :(
Yes, the power supply is not the problem here... Why is everyone talking about this? 11.6V is okay. The buck converter on the GPU board itself has control capability and fineadjust their output voltages even with +-10% (maybe even a lot more) variance in input voltages. How do they think we have very fine control capability over the chip voltages lol? By magic?

Talking from experience they could adjust voltage even at 11volts but it should not drop to those levels and gpu might behave differently on low voltage.

Voltage was dropping because it was pulling current from it. I am suspecting the GPU is highly inefficient and there is too much power draw at +200MHz case (maybe some sort of short in a degraded chip). Did you check wall power draw? Is it reaching 700W*(100/85) at the latter 11.6V droop case, also in that case, is the graphics card getting unusually hot in some spots?

The max temperature are the memories that reach 85°C max and GPU 70°C, and now voltages are stable due to the new PSU. What it's the power draw?? Im not familiar with that vocabulary
