psu

So I built my system about 6 months ago and since then, it has been randomly shutting down and restarting about once a week. When I say shut down, think of if you just pulled the plug out of the wall - completely black screen and then reboot. This happens only at idle or when browsing the...

Strangest thing. PSU is 10 years old. Seasonic X Gold. It's survived quite a few upgrades of mobos, cpus and gfx cards. Pressed the case power button. Nothing. Uhho. Pressed the motherboard power on button. Nothing. Mobo LEDs were active, but nothing else. checked cables were seated...

I’m currently looking at a new build. Motherboard, PSU and Memory is now alien to me 12 years later. Currently i7 2600k and Vega 56 build. I’m thinking of a 5900x and a 3080 or up card. I was looking at 850W and hoped this would be sufficient to future proof. I will only ever run one Graphics...

Hello Overclockers Forum, My CORSAIR RM SERIES RM850 850W '80 PLUS GOLD' MODULAR POWER SUPPLY (CP-9020196-UK) Caught Fire. I walked into my office and the room was full of white smoke. As I could not see flames I guessed it was an electrical fire. I managed to turn off the power to the room...

Hello all! First post here, thank you for having me! :) I have recently purchased a boxed and pristine Samsung NP370R5E-A06, which has 6GB of RAM paired with an I5-3210 processor. The laptop is in great condition and the battery life lasts about 3 and a half hours whilst I am doing my remote...

Hi, I just made a new build about a month ago but there's an issue that seems to be getting more apparent. Whenever I put the PC into sleep or shut it down, pressing the power button from the case or the 'start' button on the motherboard does not turn the pc back on. The RGB standby lights from...

Hey there fine folks! Really hoping someone more knowledgable than myself is able to help me out here. Afew months ago my pc just switched off suddenly. After the inital sigh of "oh boy, here we go..." I began investigating and found that the CPU was massively overheating at over 100C. I did...

Hi, My PSU's kettle lead is a 13A 250v. Can I replace it with a 5A 250v lead? The PSU is a Corsair RM850x and the system is generally pretty power hungry. I've seen a lot of conflicting advice - people saying any kettle lead will do, and others saying a 13A fuse lead needs to be replaced in...

Hi all, Wasn't entirely sure where to post this, Have both Corsair HX850 Platinum and MSI Suprim 3080 10GB in my prebuild. This 3080 requires 3 x 8 pin PCI-E connectors and looking through the side window of my case I can see two cables used for all inputs. (Forgive the rubbish quality...

Hi, I've just purchased a 3070ti (Gigabyte - Aorus Master), and it has 3 power connector slots: 2 x 8 pin & 1 x 6 pin. I've run 2 leads from my modular power supply; using both connectors on 1 lead & 1 (of 2) connectors. Is this okay? Thanks.

Hi There, Just need to put my mind at rest. :confused: I'm building a ROG Dark Hero with a 5900x and Nvidia Geforce RTX 3090. I think 850w will be fine but someone said the RM850x has (Japanese Capacitors) which has better reliability. But they both come with 10 year warranty...

Hi I have a Corsair 750 watt in my pc and have had it now for three years and all has been well until recently. It has become a bit more loud than previously when under load and have found it takes longer to quieten down after exiting a game. I removed the psu from the case recently and blew...

Yesterday I got the aforementioned Inno3d RTX 3090 from OCUK. Happy day. Worked just fine under low load. Videos. Desktop. Browsing. Non intensive graphic games. Cue cyberpunk 2077. Went up to 83 Degrees once at the start . Then it went back down. Fans working to cool stuff down. Pink dots on...

Uninterrupted Power Supply questions ! Afternoon all, having a fun research project and was wondering on this forum... Does anyone use UPS ? If so for what line of work ? Would you use it for gaming ( from Pro to content creator ) and What features would you like to see on UPS that aren't...

Hello guys, Recently bought a new fully modular power (Corsair RM1000X) and I am looking to get some custom cables for my build. I've heard of Cablemod but I am open to other manufacturers, hopefully with glowing recommendations considering these are involved with power distribution. Ideally...

Hi, I used to have an external USB cd drive but it was unreliable and i got sick of unplugging it and plugging it back in so i bought an internal optical drive. all the connections are fine, but no power at all. it shares a cable with the SSD which worked fine so i disconnected the SSD. still...

So currently in two minds about upgrading my current build (that I love aesthetically) - or selling it and building a new system (wishful thinking in the current climate). Anyways. One question I have is about my custom white braided cables from cablemod. I bought the ones compatible with my...

I am running a Ryzen 9500x with a 360 aio and 6 additional case fans. I am thinking of getting the RX 6900XT Red Devil Ultimate, but i am unsure whether my PSU is up to the job, especially if i want to do some heavy overclocking on the card and a light tweak to the CPU. My current PSU is a brand...

So I'm in the market for a 3080 (pretty much the same as anyone on the internet) I'm currently running a 3600x (no OC) and want to chuck an upgrade from my 1080 to a 3080. My current PSU is only 650W. Would I struggle for power draw or would 650w be sufficient enough? The PSU is a CORSAIR 650W...
