As with you, it's not something I've ever heard of, but then again, it's not something I've gone looking for to hear of either. All I know is removing the riser solved the issue. I am 99% certain the card itself isn't the issue as it would work on my previous board with the riser fine...

Sounds very similar to a problem I was just having. You don't by any chance use a Riser cable for the GPU do you ? When you ran off the integrated GPU, did you physically remove the 3060 ?

Sooooo, turns out it was none of the above. It was the riser cable I used to vertically mount my GPU. For some reason, the combination of that board/GPU/riser just didn't want to play, even though it would work fine with an older 1080, and always worked fine with my older board and the same...

Re the RAM, just a temporary replacement to get the machine usable until I can invest in better. TeamGroup Vulcan 16GB (2X8GB) DDR5 PC5-41600C40 5200MHz Dual Channel Kit Re the PSU: Corsair HX1500i 1500W Modular 80+ Platinum PSU

Yes of course I understand that, I just don't see what would be achieved now? I've fairly conclusively narrowed my issue down to the PSU, all disabling Turbo would do, if anything, would allow the system to run stable albeit at significantly reduced performance. Replacement PSU, and RAM will...

This wasn't me replying to you. I did consider your suggestion but in the face of other evidence didn't feel it would help, but thanks for your input.

I think I've narrowed this down to the PSU. I installed my old 1080 back in, which had half the TDP of the 3080, and I had no problems. Running a bench on the GPU which was 100% certain to trigger a lock up no longer did. I am 100% certain the issue ISN'T the GPU as over the weekend I put my...

Good morning, Thanks for that very detailed reply. I honestly hadn't realised that memory could be tailored to a specific CPU/Chipset type. It would possibly explain some other oddities I experienced, for instance, at the default settings the BIOS would say the memory is 4000MHz and others...

To save others, in the unlikely event of experiencing a similar issue, the cause of this was the Corsair GPU Riser Cable (Gen 3.0). The PCI-e slot on the board was Gen 5.0 and the GPU itself was Gen 4.0, so the board, detecting a Gen 4.0 card, was trying to run the GPU at Gen 4.0 through what...

Yup I can see it now. It's handy to actually see a live installation too so I can visualise the space involved etc. Not sure if that makes sense but it does to me. I've just been looking at an alternative to my res/pump placement, and given the Primo has several 5/12 drive bays, I am thinking...

No the pic doesn't show. I like the idea of a back up pump though... I've just been making a quick mock up in PS to try and plan it. This is what I've come up with: Res mounted to the rear of the case. Pump on the plate that sits behind the case where the hidden PSU goes. Top and bottom rads...

Ahh handy you have experience with that case then. I've just Googled some images of the case and saw one idea which I hadn't thought of, and given the amount of money this is going to cost the extra wouldn't really matter. One image showed separate loops for the GPU and CPU. With the GPU loops...

Sorry I posted same time as you. Regarding the x-chill I was thinking the best solution is to go straight there from the CPU, or vice versa, as they are right next to each other placement wise?

I am really not sure how best to set this up. It's hard to visualise as this isn't something I've done before. I will be using the Phanteks Enthoo Primo Full tower: http://www.phanteks.com/Enthoo-Primo.html

No idea yet. This is the purpose of this question, to find the information I am missing to decide how best to approach this.
