    So, returning after a long break. Hope everyone is well. Turned on my main machine for the first time in about two and a half years this week, it's still that from my signature. All bar the RX 580 is 8 years old give or take. But hasn't been run hard for the last three years. I've got a new...

    PC Shuts Down Randomly and Restarts

    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...

    Is it possible for 12v line to stop working temporarily?

    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...

    Which PSU? Is 850W Enough?

    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...

    PC won't turn on sometimes after shutdown or sleep (New Build)

    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...

    PSU Replacement Kettle Lead

    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...

    Corsair RM850 on a Dark Hero + RTX3090

    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...

    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...
