@Juular , @Zerk2012 , @artk2219 : First of all, thank you for your help. I did use and am currently using a different PSU (even the one whose cable I attached to my now-broken Corsair) and the components work fine. I even overclocked my CPU, GPU and RAM. The only issue still present after doing...

I understand.. I did not consider the case of other, more interleaved configurations. In my case, I am certain the only issue was swapping the 12V pins with Ground pins, as a I checked the cable configurations using a multimeter. Could this have lead to any short per se?

Thank you very much for your help.. I am really wondering: couldn't the motherboard and/or PSU manufacturers just use diodes to prevent this from happening? I remember looking on the back of the motherboard and I think I did see some diodes on the rails coming from the CPU connector, but I am no...

Wow.. really? But why?

I have a Corsair RM550x, which is a modular PSU. I was having trouble starting my PC (details below), so I tried using a different CPU cable from another PSU. I thought that if it fits, it should be ok. However, as soon as I started it with the other cable, my PSU made some sound and never...

Ryzen indeed does not have integrated graphics :).

Thank you both for helping me out. I've tried OCing it a bit and it seemed like when I used no memory OC, the clock would boost higher. Is this also because of the power limitation? Also, would flashing the BIOS and upping that power limit help? (I doubt I'd try that until the warranty is off...

Thank you very much. But why would it be designed like this? I've seen JayzTwoCents' video on Pascal OC and his 1080 did not have this problem (on stock settings, he did not get any power limit). Is this a characteristic of the Asus Turbos or something?

Hey everyone, I've also posted this on the nVidia forums.. I've got the video card in the title (GTX 1070 Turbo from Asus), but I've just noticed that it keeps power throttling at default settings (stock), even though I upped the power limit to max (it also seemd to reach power limit on the...

That could be it. Still, my case is a Deepcool Kendomen (comes with 5 fans :) ), but I do not know of it being soundproof or anything :).

But I'm not really a headphones user (I like almost never use them when playing games or any other case :), though for the very,very,very few exceptions there were, I didn't use "never" ).. I'm really more of a speakers guy. I did not use them when playing Fallout :)

[There's also a post above in reply to @madmatt30]

@madmatt30 I have tried it :) and it seems to work well. Still, even if I didn't overclock now (but would've liked to.. thinking it would run better.. [I know, maybe this sounds stupid]), I would like to have the option in the future (I'm not at all planning on changing the card soon (I'd like...

Thank you :). I'm a little confused.. someone on NewEgg (in the reviews) claimed this: "Decent OC results for a basic 1070 card. ~2050 mhz boost clock ~4400 mhz memory clock Even at max power limit (up to 112%) the card is moderately cool and quiet.". Someone else said "When I received this...
