I think that right there is your issue. If I were to build a PC with that calculation, I would have, at minimum, gone for a 800W PSU. Mainly for provide a safely margin and also allow for some expansion down the road.

A PSU that is that old isn’t likely to be able to keep its peak wattage like it used to. The old electrical components age. I would guess, whatever protection circuitry kicks off the power supply if the power draw goes too high, has likely aged enough to lower that kick-off point. While it could handle 650W while new, maybe now it shuts down at something like 620W.

Your only real option may be to just get a new PSU. As a temporary measure, you could maybe limit the power draw of the GPU. I don’t really know how to go about it, but the TDP limit on the Steam Deck immediately came to mind.

Yeah, it was definitely the title. It’s a neat project in of itself, but the title made it seem like you accomplished a frankly massive feat.

Videos like this one where they make absolutely tiny llm models for low power hardware are what I had in mind. Sadly I can’t find the other one that I watched several months back.

Maybe not the perfect example, but then again, getting Crysis to run natively on a DS would be a significantly larger achievement than running a video streamer.

Yeah, that’s not impressive at all compared to what I thought. It’s not much different than playing Crysis on a DS by just using remote desktop.
