power supply

I have an old Xerox plotter which uses a computer called a Xerox Accxes controller. Today, when I attempted to power it on, I heard a pop and I could smell a burnt electrical scent. My guess is that the power supply has failed as now no lights will light on the motherboard. The power supply is...

Just installed my Corsair cx psu and Ive noticed There's an aggregious coil whine, I'm just wondering if it's worth returning as in hindsight I maybe should've got a more energy efficient and higher quality PSU :/ in these times where energy prices are so high (I'm in the UK) do you think I...

I just recently made a new build with a ryzen 7 5700x and an rtx 3080 10gb, everything is running fine until recently my psu started making this buzzing or static noise, its coming right from where the power cord is connected and its not the cord i checked with a different one, the noise is...

I have an intel i9 10850k, Asus RTX 3060ti, Gigabyte Z490 Motherboard, GSkill 32 gb RAM sticks, Corsair power supply. I recently changed the GPU from EVGA 3080 to Asus 3060ti thinking it would resolve this issue. It happens randomly when I game in Valorant, and sometimes with Furmark stress test...

Been trying to figure out how to get power from an ATX PSU to this board. I bought a adapter that was apparently meant for the boards on HPs, well it doesn't work. I have tested the psu to see if it works with the 4 3 pin (Clipside) with a wire, psu turns on. Also when I plug the old psu in the...

I have Seasonic GX-750W 80 Plus Gold power supply, it's brand new. Currently I'm looking to buy a new GPU. I have my eyes on 6800 XT and 6900 XT models, but right now there is a deal for AMD Radeon™ RX 6900 XT OC Formula 16GB RX6900XT OCF 16G for 600 euros ~ $651. I've read about 6900XT running...

Hello! So, yesterday I was playing Valorant on my PC, then suddenly the electricity went off and my PC forcedly turned off. When the electricity went on again, I tried to turn it on again, but my PC didn't turned on, no LED blinking, no fan rotating, no sound or whatsoever. I checked everything...

Yesterday me and my buddy worked on managing some of his cables, dusting out his computer, as well as changing the thermal paste. Before we started the computer wasn't having an issues besides him complaining that his computer should be performing better. After we reassembled the computer the...

I upgraded to an EVGA RTX 3070 XC3. Temps are amazing - 60c max. However, I have experienced random shut downs while gaming (3D Mark not enough to cause shut downs but happened in 2 games so far). The PC shuts off abruptly, PSU needs turned off and on to reboot. (some lights still active, such...

I have recently acquired an AMD RX Vega 64 from a friend of mine who have been using it for 2 years during which he had no issues with it whatsoever. When I installed it in my system it worked out of the box but there still seems to be a problem that I don't know what's causing it. After...

Hey guys, Sorry to ask this but I couldn't find an exact answer. I have a hx1000i power supply. I'm installing a 4090 fe in my i9 12gen system. The power supply comes with (3) 8 pin dual cables (2) 6+2 per. I also have a few extra 8 pin cables from my old hx1000. Can I use the the other cables...

The old power supply was pulled from an old office PC, the new one is a thermaltake toughpower gf1 650w. Whenever I power on the PC with the new PSU (8-pin ATX CPU connector) it won't POST and gives me a red light on the motherboard indicating a problem with the CPU. The old PSU (4-pin ATX CPU...

Is it okay? I currently use a 250w power supply that came bundled with the case and I'd like to replace it with one that's bigger (at least 400w). I found some stores online that sell used power supplies for cheap (around 20 dollars in my currency). Many are 80 plus certified, some just white...

I was upgrading a few parts in my PC, hooked up brand new EVGA 700 GD power supply and the lights on the motherboard don't even come on (MSI MPG z490). I tested the power supply with a paper clip and it all seems to be working fine, but when its hooked up to everything in my PC the fan doesn't...

Hi, I’m looking for a 12VHPWR cable for the Antec Signature Titanium 1000w which I would used to connect it directly to a RTX 4090 FE. I can’t find a cable specifically for Antec Signature power supplies but I have read it is a revamped Seasonic Prime power supply. In that case would a Seasonic...

I have bought XPG core reactor 750W. I wanted to know what cybenetics badge it achieves in their testing but when I went there are 2 reports. It seems like one tested in 2019 and one later. How to find out the difference between the units tested? Does XPG revised the second unit with any...

What Happened? Yesterday, It was a normal day of using my PC. Considering it has been working for few months no issue, I thought there would be nothing wrong. I turned on my PC and all the RGB all light up for about 2-3 seconds - Then I saw sparks and heard a loud bang coming from the PSU. Then...

There's been frequent power outages in my area. I was wondering what UPS I should get if I just need enough time for me to save my work. About 5-10 minutes should be fine. My computer specs: CPU: i3-1200F Mobo: Biostar H610MH GPU: RTX 3060 RAM: 16gb 3200Mhz PSU: FSP HV Pro 85+ 650W Monitor: AOC...

My graphics card completely crashes whenever i put it under heavy load, monitor goes black, gpu fans ramp up to 100%, i can hear the drivers reset in the background through my headphones. I have to turn off my PSU, wait like 10 seconds and then turn it back on so it can reboot. Weird part is...

Hello! So I just bought a new graphics card: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08Z7DXHP5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - It needs 2x 8 pin cables (I already have 1x 8 pin in my existing graphics card). I have a thermaltake toughpower grand series RGB 650 Watt PSU. I have...

Hi everyone, My parent’s PC that I built before leaving to college started having some issues recently where it shuts off after a few minutes of using it, mostly when opening applications / games but still does it otherwise. It used to not be like that at all. It started by just shutting off...

I have made a post a couple of months ago with the same stuff going on, same model drive, same everything. https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/drives-failure-in-the-span-of-3-months.3760384/#post-22683580 It is 11 months exactly as my Seagate 2tb HDD died in the span of 30 minutes after a...

Extremely important edit: All models of the Toughpower GF3 come with this cable, as per HardwareBusters: I'm very confused, that pin just doesn't actually seem to fit in any of the two CPU power connectors. Hey, I'm in a bit of a stump, I've never seen this before. My two CPU cables have the...

My PC often refuses to boot post shutdown or sleep. No motherboard lights nothing. To circumvent this problem, I just leave the PC on for weeks, months on end. But that obviously isn't sustainable. When this issue does occur, I usually just wait around 12-24 hours and the PC boots when I try...

So I recently upgraded my office computer's power supply, and now when I put all of the cables back, the computer fans (CPU, GPU, and exhaust fan) spin for a second when I hit the power button, but stop and nothing happens. However the power supply light is on. Pressing the power button again...

I'm building my first pc and I'm at the stage where I plug everything into the power supply. The problem is I don't know which cables I need to use since my power supply is fully modular (hx1000). People tell me to just plug in all the cables, plug in everything that needs to be plugged in, and...

Hi! I have a Corsair HX1200 which I'm planning to use in my new build that has an Asus RTX 4090 TUF OC. The adapter bundled with the card has 4 8 pin PCIe power connectors, they recommend using 4 dedicated cables and not use pigtails. I watched this video and from what I'm getting here he's...

I am upgrading my pc in the short future, and this being my first fully custom build I wanted to overclock my CPU, RAM and possibly GPU unless it is not recommended for somewhat beginners. This will be my build: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800x GPU: RTX 3080/3080ti ( not entirely sure which to get yet )...

I've attached a short video to demonstrate the sound I'm hearing View: https://imgur.com/a/UMNWBTM This is a closer video View: https://imgur.com/a/IvNEr1m it shows the fan somewhat slowing when the noise occurs Fairly certain at this point the noise is coming from the PSU. The noise only...

In the past week I've noticed that my power supply sometimes does not come on. I juggle the spot where the plug is in the back of the cpu and that seems to wake it up. But I have a feeling I need to replace it. But with what? Here is my current pc setup: Intel Core i7-10700K Comet Lake...

I’m completely stumped with my new power supply, it’s the be quiet dark power 12 850w titanium and I can’t figure out the power cables. I’m guessing the mother board is the 20+8 pin that goes to a 24 as that’s the same as old power supply. However I can’t figure out the cpu, on my old power...

Over the past week, my friend's pc has been having the same problem multiple times a day where the screen will freeze and then all usb ports will disconnect, and he found the only way to fix it was to turn the power supply off and on again. Today, it happened again and he thought it might be the...
