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...

I managed to get 1 from my local Microcenter recently. So far so good. Haven't had a ton of time to tweak it yet, but so far it's running stable at 5.1, and doing things like gaming or running Cinebench, temps have been good (mid 70s at most). Coming from a 6700K, things are noticeably...

Yeah, using a Corsair 780T full tower case. Big case, lots of room and fans, but still enclosed. I may take the side panel off this weekend and turn a fan on to see what kind of difference it makes.

Thanks for the input guys. Most of the reviews I read about the Strix made it sound like it would rarely, if ever, reach 70C during normal use. So when I was hitting 75+ on the first day, I was a bit concerned. It's not causing any issues exactly, other than knocking my core speed down as it...

Replaced my Strix 1080ti with a Strix 2080ti over the weekend. Really liking it so far - seems to be a very well built card. I do have 1 area of concern though, and that's with the temps. One of the things I really liked about my 1080ti Strix was the temps. That thing never got hot, and that's...

It's not that cool, no. The system is in the basement though, on the floor, but it's probably around 70F in the room. Core Temp shows pretty similar numbers: Seems to idle really low. The OC panel that came with my board shows the CPU temp usually at 24-25C, which would make a little more...

Not much, they have been pretty low the entire time. They ran a bit higher when I initially forced my CPU voltage to stay up and not drop at idle, but they run nice and low now that I'm running CPU voltage in adaptive mode.

I'll echo what JonnyK says. Seems to run very silent. I'm using the alt CPU fan port on the motherboard, so it cycles the fan speed based on load. At idle it's virtually silent. I can hear them speed up a bit under load, but the GPU fans are much louder. Almost no pump noise at all. I idle at...

Answering my own question, the 240 does fit inside the Corsair 780T case without anything showing outside. The 2 top fans sit under the cover, and the radiator and the bottom fans sit inside the case with enough room for everything.

I'm putting together a new 6700K build, and like the look of this cooler a lot. Planning on using a Corsair 780T full tower case. Would this cooler fit entirely inside the case without having to remove the top cover or have anything sticking out? If so, I'll probably go with this instead of the...

1. Have never liquid cooled a GPU before, but would very much like to try it. 2. Yes, I'd be interesting in trying it, mostly for the convenience of it, plus the knowledge that it would installed properly.

I was thinking the same thing as well. I was also really hoping that Micro Center would be able to find another Lightning for me. Unfortunately, after speaking with them at the store, they list the Lightning as discontinued and claim they will not be getting any more of them. So, my choices...

Picked up a Lightning locally at Micro Center a bit less than 2 weeks ago, and have been playing with it since. Love the look of it, and how quiet it runs. The card I got did not seem to OC really well at default settings however (A1 stepping, Elpida memory, 69% ASIC), and would crash with even...

I'm in! Thanks!

Nah, the system is clean. It's not used enough to really build up a lot of dust. I will check temps and such tonight of course, but when I checked in the case last night to make sure all the fans were running everything looked pretty clean. Running an aftermarket cooler with a 92mm fan for the...

Hey guys, I'm placing this in the video cards section as it the video card seems a likely culprit here. My wife informed me last night that her system was having some issues. I only had a few minutes to look at it and will be spending more time with it tonight, but I was hoping to get some...

The drive itself is a Samsung CD-Master 24E, model SN-124. The proprietary part comes from the backplane connection.. it uses a 44-pin connection to the backplane that covers data and power. I don't plan on permanently replacing the CD drive. I was hoping to use a controller to boot off a...

Hey all, I have an old 1U rackmount system that I'd like to use for some testing, but to do so properly I need a DVD-ROM to install any of the newer operating system. Trouble is, the CD-ROM in this system is a slim drive, and is connected via a proprietary backplane connection. There are no...

Just out of curiosity, but how true is this? My memory just will not run at a 266 memory divider with the CPU HT set to 300x9. However, setting the memory to 200 works great.. giving me a FX-60 class processor with DDR300 speed memory. Without running hours of benchmarks, am I better with...

Yeah, I set up most of the sig a long time ago and just never filled in the details. I'll grab models tonight when I get home, but it's all Corsair Value Select, and I believe has all the same timings. I'll check to make sure and see if I can find some other examples of dividers using the same...

Thanks for the tip on this, but I'm already running at 2T timing. Even at stock speeds for everything, I could never get all 4 sticks to run stable at 1T. Was absolutely stable for months at 2T though. Edit. I'm at work right now, so I can't say exactly what timings I'm running. Other than...

Hey all, I recently jumped on the Opty 165 bandwagon with the hopes of hitting at least 2.7Ghz on it. Got a good stepping, and after a bit of burn in and testing, have found the CPU to be quite stable at 2.7Ghz at 1.375v. The problem I am having is memory related. I have 4 sticks of...

I picked up a premium at Best Buy yesterday as well, but mine does not have the remote. That only came with the first round of premiums, correct?

Hey all, Just got a new BFG 7800GT today. Installed it, booted up, and installed the new Nvidia drivers that also happened to come out today. Everything went smoothly. After the drivers had been installed and I rebooted, I started hearing little popping noises coming from the video card...

Hey all, This is an issue I've been fighting with for a couple months now. What happens is that I'll power on my system for the day, and maybe 10% of the time, the video card will not power up. No power to the fan even.. absolutely nothing. Sometimes turning it off and back on again will...
