Thank you for the reply! I had tried checking the levels there, but I had not tried resetting to the defaults. After doing that, the headset volume did not improve, but then I tried rebooting the computer after doing that reset. Upon rebooting, everything is working great, and the headset volume...

I am on Windows 10, and I suddenly am getting low volume from my case's front headphone jack. The audio doesn't sound distorted and is present, but I just can't raise the volume to its normal level. I tested the headphones I normally use there on another device, and they worked perfectly, so I...

Update to this -- After trying messing with drivers, changing out video cards, changing out the motherboard, etc, etc, etc, I finally revisited the power supply. It had tested as working correctly, but I suspected it had to be something to do with power since the problems generally happened...

Updating this: I contacted Seasonic support and asked them for help with the potential PCIe issue. They said: "This is not a correct assessment. A 6+2 is the same as an 8pin. They provide more than 225w power draw. Your PC crashing is most likely a graphics card issue or a PSU issue and not a...

The PCIe cables I have (the ones that came with the Seasonic PSU) are solid 8-pin on the end that plugs into the power supply. The other end has two 6+2-pin connectors. I currently have two of those cables plugged into the PSU (with the 8-pin end). Then I have one of the 6+2-pin ends from each...

Update to this-- I emailed support at BTOS Integration to see if I could order those cables. The response I received back was: "8pin PCIe connector uses 3 x +12V and 5 x ground wires ( power is supplied by those three +12V wires ). In Seasonic’s 8pin to single 6+2pin PCIe connector cable, they...

This sounds very encouraging! I'm having trouble finding full 8-pin cables to order... Are there some particular ones you'd recommend? All the ones I'm finding right now are the 6+2 like I already have.

Quick question, because I realized I might have misunderstood-- When you ask about an adapter versus a real 8-pin connector, can you clarify what you mean? The two cables I'm using are the PCIe cables that came with my Seasonic PSU. Each cable has an 8-pin connector on one end that goes into...

My PSU came with multiple PCIe cables, each with a split to two output ends. I'm using two of those (separate cables) and plugging one of the output ends into each of the two 2080ti power inputs (so each cable has one extra output end just dangling). That worked great for for 2-3 months, so it...

Back in May/June I built a new PC with the following components: Motherboard: ASUS AM4 TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wi-Fi) ATX CPU: AMD RYZEN 9 3900X 12-Core 3.8 GHz Video card: EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti XC ULTRA GAMING RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3600 PSU...

Just following up here in case someone else has this same problem. It turned out that the issue was with my graphics card. The thermal paste on the GPU either had gone bad or wasn't applied properly to begin with. Either way, I opened up the card, cleaned off the old paste, applied a new dot...

I never got a reply to this, but I wanted to update my own thread in case someone else has this same problem. It turned out that the issue was with my graphics card. The thermal paste on the GPU either had gone bad or wasn't applied properly to begin with. Either way, I opened up the card...

Hello! I am reposting a question / problem I had from last month in the hopes that I can get some responses by including more information in my initial message. I'm having a problem where my system crashes to a black screen, and all the fans (all case fans, CPU fan, and GPU fans) suddenly kick...

Here are my main system specs: EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC GAMING ACX 3.0 Intel Core i5-3570K CPU @3.40GHz ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 Motherboard G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Corsair CX Series 750 Watt 80 Plus Bronze Certified Modular...

I'm having a problem where my system crashes to a black screen, and all the fans (all case fans, CPU fan, and GPU fans) suddenly kick into high gear, blowing loud until I manually hit the reset on the case. Once I reset, the system reboots and runs normally. Occasionally it will crash again a...
