Hi All, I've occasionally gotten this issue in the past, but VERY rarely, however after I started playing Diablo 4 its happening constantly and making my PC completely unusable. Before I even get started, I do not even use the CTRL key while playing this game. I wanted to clarify also, it will...

The only issue I have then I suppose is the manufacturer doesn't sell, nor direct you to compatible cables, so I don't know how to locate ones that work. For example, the 8 pins from my previous EVGA G2 850W are incompatible.

Hello, just as in the title I have a Seasonic Focus PX-750 Platinum PSU, and need help finding individual, and compatible, 8 pin cables for this PSU to GPU (3080). I've looked at the manufacturer's website to try and find some that I can order without any luck. This will definitely be my last...

So something above seems to have worked, I'm back at Epic settings 165FPS @69-73C.

Build is ~1 month old Yesterday I updated to the new Nvidia drivers and ever since my 3080 is pushing 80c (target is set to 80) and only delivering 80-100FPS in titles like OW, titles it usually maxes out with out breaking the mid 60s. Can a new nvidia driver cause this or is something else...

Not that I know of, what are you thinking?

I recently built a new PC and everything was going really well and then all of a sudden it just started shutting down completely. It's happened twice recently: Right after launching Overwatch (not previously under any sort of load) During a game with 2 Chrome windows open, one on 2nd monitor...

You might check your local Microcenter if you have one, I live in a relatively affluent area in the Midwest and they've had 5000 series in stock for over a week now.

Picked up the same PSU from the local store, it had the 2 pig-tails included. While not cheap, nor intuitive, it seemed like the easiest solution to see if the included pig tails would power on the GPU to establish if I had in fact ruined it or not. It's a giant knotted mess, both connections on...

I'm happy to report that the GPU is functioning fine currently and I finally have got the system to boot/have successfully played a game on it. The cable management for the GPU is hideous, and can't really be fixed but hey, it works. Thanks for all your help, learned something new today.

I really appreciate the help but would it be worth it to try installing the 3080 in my other PC since that uses the same power cables to see if it works or would I be risking damage to those parts too? This is all new to me. It never would've occurred to me that power cables aren't just power...

My understanding is that even with 2 that should've come with, I would need to order a 3rd? Looking at the manufacturers website on first glance that doesn't appear to be an option?

Well thats a huge bummer, so in this instance, the PSU I got didn't have the necessary cables - where would i go to ensure i have the correct ones next time? Is there a way to check the GPU? Should i try installing it in the old PC or would that risk additional issues?

Well this is good to know for the future, what would likely have been damaged if thats the case?

I had 3 individual 6+2 cables running to the gpu from the power supply. Idk if it matters but the power supply i bought didn't come with ANY which i thought was odd and they came from a g3 850W PSU i used on my first ever build.
