Makes sense about OCP. I haven't been able to find any documentation on what should happen from the PSU makers (besides shutting down of course) when that is triggered. If the idea is to prevent the PSU from trying to deliver more power than it can, I could see it as coming right back up though...

What would happen if OCP kicked in and caused the system to shut down? It's weird enough that it's shutting down like this, but I'm not sure how or why it's turning back on a few seconds later on it's own. I have not fully eliminated the UPS yet, no. I've been trying to reproduce the shutdown...

Answering a few of the questions here. Yes, using both the 8-pin and 4-pin CPU power connectors. Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. But the symptoms fit for triggering OCP, so I'm hoping the issue is that' I'm hitting Corsair's limit and a different brand PSU addresses it. That said, when...

Yeah, I get it. Was just thinking out loud a bit.

Oh yeah, I know. There’s just a part of me that says “Well, if I’m somehow hitting a limit on my current 1000W PSU, then throw more power at it”. Most calculators put me at about 650W max draw, so 1000W should be more than enough. I disabled ray tracing in WoW and set my GPU back to stock...

I managed to get an order in for an EVGA SuperNOVA P2 1000W PSU at Newegg. Won't be here until next week, but hoping that addresses the issue. Wish I could have gotten the 1200W, even though 1000W should be more than enough, just to give myself a bit more headroom. I'll probably turn the power...

Yeah, I actually did just that last night. Did the fight that really seems to trigger it on LFR yesterday and of course, no issues. Regular guild raid night again tonight, so we'll see what happens there. Agreed on CPU usage though. I think 1 core runs at 100% while playing, and 1 or 2 others...

Interesting, I've never really heard of Super Flower until very recently, I'll take a look. Veering way into PSU discussion now, but I've always considered Antec, Silverstone, etc to be B tier quality, behind the Seasonic, Corsair, and EVGA brands. Maybe I need to read up on some of their more...

I did replace all of the cables running to the mainboard and GPU. I didn't replace the SATA power cables though, they would have been a huge pain to re-run. I wasn't using 2 PCIE power cables before, but I did just install the second one now and run it. I'd heard it wasn't necessary to do...

Memory tests all pass when running memtest86 from a bootable drive. Ran each DIMM through their own tests, and then put them both back in at the same time with XMP enabled and ran through a few passes and everything comes back clean. I'm trying to find a way to reproduce the error in a way...

It does sound like a PSU issue for sure, which is why I replaced that first. Could the 10900K and 2080ti all of a sudden be drawing too much peak power for the HX1000i to handle? Chasing down a higher end PSU than this appears to be tough right now. All the high end models are pretty sold out...

No meter unfortunately. I could maybe see the original PS having an issue, as it was over 6 years old. But after replacing it with a brand new one, I'd be pretty surprised if that had the same issue, especially with a pretty high end unit like this.

Hey all, Having a very frustrating PC issue lately. It has suddenly started shutting down suddenly while gaming. It will run all day just fine, but if I'm playing something that's putting load on the system, it's like someone pulls the plug. No crash, no blue screen, etc. Screen goes black...

Nice, glad to hear it's good stuff! I'll give that a try first then, and connect it as they recommend. Probably put the AX11000 in the basement and then run into the Ruckus. I looked into how much the Ruckus WiFi6 APs cost, and yeah... they're not cheap. If I can keep everything important...

Hey guys, We're going to be purchasing a new home in March, and part of what it (and a lot of new homes apparently) includes is a pre-wired Ruckus WiFi setup. I've never used it, or even heard of it before this, so I'm wondering how best to integrate what I have with what the new home will...
