    gtx 980 on a PSU XFX| PRO750W

    During stress testing a 980Ti with an i5-4690K, my maximum power at the wall was 450 watts. I was using a Corsair HX-750 and one of those monitors that you plug the computer cord into that in turn plugs into the wall.

    Turn Computer On, Shuts Off After 1 Second, Comes Back on 2-3 Seconds Later

    Just found on the ASUS forums that for certain motherboards, a double boot after power cut is normal. All that worrying and diagnosing for nothing, but something that I would have thought tech support would have been aware of.

    Turn Computer On, Shuts Off After 1 Second, Comes Back on 2-3 Seconds Later

    Last night I went back into the BIOS, and enable XMP, which was set on AUTO. I loaded up my RAM profile, checked each stick, without any luck. I also disable, then enabled C-States, which was set to AUTO. Again, no luck. One other detail which I neglected was that the motherboard SENSOR 1...

    i5 4690K, Crossfire 7950's - 750 Watts Enough?

    I put all of my components into pcpartpicker, which reported an estimated wattage of 607W. Based on this, I purchased the Corsair HX-750. I also have an SSD, HDD, 8GB RAM, H100i, and a few fans. Would this PSU be enough if I want to OC the CPU and GPU's? Thanks in advance.
