An update as I'm finally looking to upgrade & currently stuck with my old motherboard / CPU. This base setup lasted me 7 full years, and I've been extremely happy with all aspects of it. I know some people were saying I should purchase smaller / lower cost components, etc... but this base...

Sanity Check - Will A TRX 3080 run on an Asus ROG Rampage V Extreme/u3.1 LGA 2011-v3? I'm asking because the Rampage V only has PCIe 3.0 x16 bus... but the RTX 3080 has PCIe 4.0 x16. (will this decrease the performance I would normally expect with a RTX 3080... especially in Adobe Premiere...

I appreciate everyone's feedback! It was absolutely the PSU, which was just 2 years into it's 10 year warranty. I ended up going an "Express RMA"... which means I pay Corsair to send me a new one immediately... and when they receive my returned PSU, they give me my money back. (which allowed...

An update for you guys... The new, temp PSU is working golden. (although I'm freaking out it'll kill my hardware as it's just a Corsair TX850M...) I also installed a Noctua DH-15... and my GAMING temps have gone from 50C -> 36-38C. (WOW!!) My regular working temps, like writing into this...

I took it into the local shop... they were awesome with testing it right there with me. We first tried a new PSU... and it booted up and started doing a Windows chkdsk... So then I asked them to try it with my PSU... and it booted up just fine... So they started thinking it was the PSU cable...

I did get to run that game, it went for about 20 minutes... then shutdown and started cycling up/down. The temps were about 48-50C when it happened. (On the Rampage V readout on the case). For the past year... my temps have been in the 45-60C range. (The higher range when rendering video) So I...

Here's what I've done since I first posted: - Cleaned & re-set the CPU. - Re-set the CPU cooler, RAM, and GPU. - Re-set all power cables. - Turned off all OC and set everything to just boot normally. (The overclocking was on the lower end) Here's what's been happening: After letting it sit for...

I have honestly forgotten... But I believe I went for a very minimal overclock. I know with 100% certainty I stayed far away from the "extreme" range as I wanted to be careful with my hardware and it was already running pretty fast.

Would this cause instability issues? (i7-5930 and a Cooler Master on a Rampage V Extreme) (I've not reseated this for at least 12 months) My Windows 7 will randomly lock up and behave strangely... And recently it started to continuously cycle up and down without ever even getting to POST...
