I believe cooler works properly, but it's not strong enough for my CPU. Opening the case I can cut around 3ºC I'm afraid this is the issue, I should replace the cooler with something stronger. BTW, I've been playing with Ryzen Master, and I'm getting way better numbers with manual mode. My...

It will reach 68ºC under load (it throttles at that temp). Ambient temp is 25ºC

My new 2970wx is running too hot at idle (around 50ºC in Ryzen Master & HWMonitor ). Motherboardis x399 Asrock Taichi (latest bios), cooler: Noctua nh-u9. Tried re-seating fan and reapplying thermal compound without luck. No OC at all. Any ideas?

Yes, there are common here. As well as lighting storms. I have an APC pure sinewave Smart UPS and a power surge for that matter, but I guess even with all this protection there's always some risk involved. Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.

Thanks for your replies. In the end, there was a point where PC would no longer turn on anymore. Someone lended me another PSU for testing and worked. So I have to RMA mine to Seasonic. I wouldn't expect a so reputable brand (and model) could die so quickly. Thanks for your help again!

Ouch. It's happening again. I removed it from the case again and keeps doing it. I've ruled out everything except for PSU, motherboard and CPU. Tried to add two graphic cards and stress the hell out from it, GPU rendering at 100% usage and also rendering with CPU at the same time, trying to...

Okay I found out the reason. Removed the case, left only the GPU and didn't do the loop. Plugged secondary ssd and that's where it failed. It was a bad peripheral power cord connected to that SSD. Replaced it and worked fine. Thanks for your help anyways :)

Thank you for your help, tried CMOS already with no luck. My guess is that motherboard might be shorting with the case somewhere. If nothing helps I'll just try to take it outside from case and see ehat happens.

yeah windows 10. The only way to stop this loop is either to turn on the computer or to unplug psu cord. Update: It's not only when turning off, but always. sorry for the confusion.

Okay, PC works fine. I can enter Windows and do anything. Problem comes when I turn it off. After a minute or so, leds and fans will turn on automatically for a fraction of a second and turn off again on a loop. I tried removing the case pin connectors thinking there could be a short but still...

Thanks!! I can easily accomodate 2x triple 120mm radiators in my case, plus h240's dual 140mm . Should that be enough?

Does anyone know if Swiftech's h240x2 pump is strong enough to run a custom loop for CPU + 3/4 GPUS? I currently have that cooler kit for my CPU only, but I'm upgrading soon with two additional GPU's. I'd get some EK terminal and GPU blocks... thanks.

Newbie question here. I've seen some of the newest Intel i7 Broadwell-E cpu's ranging from 40 to 28 PCIe lanes. Yet, looking at Asus x99-e ws motherboard I've found these configurations: 40-Lane CPU- 7 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (single x16 or dual x16/x16 or triple x16/x16/x16 or quad...

I did check one of these online calculators and it said I'd need around 1000-1100 watts PSU. Just wondering which model should I get to pair with a good UPS...

Hey there, I'm looking for a good PSU and UPS that can work well together for a workstation I'm planning to build (it's for 3D GPU rendering mainly). I'm quite confused with the whole sine/square wave thing. :??: I'd really appreciate if you could point me some good options considering my...
