OCP Sensitive - Internal PSUs

I used this PSU on an RTX 3090 and Ryzen 7 5800x. The OCP kicked in when running super graphics intensive games on Ultra (RDR2) where the RTX 3090 was just sipping juice. I lowered the voltage on my card and the OCP didn't interfere with any game. The noise level wasn't an issue for me, but I'm probably not as sensitive as some people. I've been working with Eco mode on and off, which seemed normal to me. Modularity is great. I contacted EVGA support and they replaced that PSU with a 1000W PSU, which resolved the issue. EVGA support scores, however a newer version of this PSU may be required.
