Is there any issues I can run into for not having the recommend PSU?

Not really as long as you're not planning to overclock the system. Worst case scenario if your system pulls too much power it will just start shutting down under load.

I done some tests with furmark and burn in disabled and it was running 50*C and 22% load. I don’t want to do a burn in test in case some damage is done

Honestly just do a good gaming session

#

If your PC doesn't shut off during that, you're good

Just done some tests and gpu is crashing for some reason. No error message or anything. Will sometimes be okay for a few hours and then suddenly crash. Ive looked online and noticed it’s a common issues with the 20 series
