    PC Random Shutdowns

    Power supply is an xfx 750w black edition; so its likely a Windows 10 problem and I should just wait for a patch from Microsoft? Is there any way of determining for certain if it is a Windows 10 issue?

    PC immediately shuts down after powering on

    Update: A couple of weeks ago I installed the two light strips, and according to PCpartpicker is should be around 350w, so well within the safety zone, but since that's the only recent change I've made I cracked open the case and disconnected them.

    External Fan controller

    Thanks for the quick response guys. I tried using the bios fan controller and speedfan but it didn't seem to change (as rock z97 extreme 6 mobo). I'll try again when I get the chance.

    External Fan controller

    Hi guys, So I've got a nzxt h440 case which if you don't know has no bays whatsoever. My case fans run too loud for my taste so I want some way of controlling them. Is there a good external fan controller or a bay one I can use externally? Thanks
