Hey guys I finally changed the thermal paste and fixed some of the wirings and it works perfectly now! I think the psu was the issue thank you again everyone that helped me through this.

The plastic cover has been removed, and I’m pretty sure the thermal paste is making contact with the CPU. The guy who reapplied it used a type of paste that has a marking or circle on the tube that tells him when he’s applied enough, so I’m not sure if he may have used too much. Perhaps he...

Should I try to rma my cpu cooler?

Hey everyone! My PC is finally fixed and stays on now :D Only issue is CPU temps—before the PSU replacement it was around 80°C in games, but after the guy replaced the PSU and reapplied thermal paste, it now hits 90–97°C. I changed the battery settings to 90%, and it stays at 56°C idle, but...

I thought adding another breaker would be 1k+ depending

I’ll just order the one you recommended then Tripp Lite ISOBAR4ULTRA Isobar 4-Outlet

Hey everyone! I finally got the PSU replaced and had the thermal paste reapplied — found out why the CPU was overheating because there was barely any thermal paste… View: https://imgur.com/a/nSB1gbr The guy who worked on it tested the PC at his place had turned it on for 5 minutes and...

Thanks, everyone! Do you think I should remove the Lian Li Strimer Wireless V2 16/24-pin cables and just use the PSU’s own cables instead?

I ordered a new power supply unit, the SeaSonic FOCUS GX ATX 3 (2024) GX-850, 850W, ATX 3.1, 80 PLUS Gold, certified for Nvidia RTX 40 Super/50, full modular. Do I need to replace all the cables as well, or can I reuse the cables from my current ASUS PSU? I read online that I’m able to just plug...

sorry for the late response I really appreciate everyone helping me and suggesting fixes I really hope replacing the psu will solve my issue

moved out here a few years ago and haven’t really made any tech-savvy friends or anyone who knows how to replace PC parts. I was thinking about doing it myself, but the cable management in the back looks kind of messy, so I’m a bit nervous about messing something up. But the way people are...

The only cord I have is the one my brother have which is 550w we had plugged it in before and it would still trip the breaker but the cord is universal

Should I call an electrician to come out and ask them about it? I have a smart meter outside and there some other I think? I never really looked into it since it looked normal to me

I’m using a 20A breaker View: https://imgur.com/a/DMjAN7F We have a smart kettle that runs fine and doesn’t trip the breaker. @bill001g — the brand of switch we have isn’t even sold anymore. Also, we don’t use any window AC units or space heaters. For psu what would you guys recommend...

@Misgar but the thing is sometime it doesn’t trip the breaker right way but does inrush still spike that high later on when using the pc to trip the breaker? For the ups will CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD PFC Sinewave UPS System, 1500VA/1000W be good enough to help the inrush?
