Hi everyone, I’m testing a client’s PC that was reportedly shutting down randomly or turning off and on when powered on, but during my testing it behaved normally. What I did: Internal cleaning of the PC (requested by the client, even though I advised it wasn’t necessary since temperatures were...

Hi All, Is this amperage distribution okay on the 5090 (ASUS Astral)? PSU: HX1500i 3.1 connector The 5090 consistently pushes more amps to the last 3 pins. The power connector is pushed in all the way and the wires are straight.

I recently built a PC with an AMD Ryzen 9 9900X and an RTX 5060, but I've noticed something odd - from the very start, my CPU clock speed never drops below 4 GHz, even when the system is completely idle and no background tasks are running. I always use eco and power-saving modes. Is this normal...

the goal is to have the regular case buttons, a PiKVM, and a 3rd power/reset that will route to the top of my table. The normal power button is on the bottom of the case, which is on the floor, which is why I want that 3rd button. I also couldn't find any 3-way splitters so I would probably have...

Just bought used rtx 3070. Tested it for a bit . Like in furmark it is pulling only 160w at max. Resulting in only 158fps at 900p. My cpu is Ryzen 3600xt with 16gb 2667mhz Ram. And gpu is MSI ventus 3x pc rtx 3070 While I have seen online other people getting 170+fps on 1080p. Here's the...

So according to Shelly, it can drive up to 2500W but more importantly -> up to 12A. Below is a screenshot of the Corsair SF750 PSU. As you can see, the max load is well above 12A. *(My power outlet is a EU 240V) I am confused now whether the Shelly plug is safe to use with this system. On...

Does anyone know what type of connector this is so I can connect it to the PSU ? https://drive.google.com/file/d/18xpVacoXElKFMiC_ygoY459WcmP6y_Sf/view?usp=drivesdk https://drive.google.com/file/d/190oUWY4SoKWOB6jdsnUZBgw5jJtnhe9w/view?usp=drivesdk

I have a MSI M15 Stealth laptop. Sometimes, when I put it to sleep, the keyboard lights and the monitor turn off, but the cooler does not. The under-keyboard lights also remain on (blue). This happened in the past week more often than usual. I have the latest BIOS update. Windows 11. Chipset...

It's an Asrock B650I Lightning Wifi Mainboard (AM5). Here's an excerpt from the mainboard manual: 1. As you can see, the board has a PWRBTN# pin (2 below empty pin/6th pin). The question is, where do I short this pin to? GND? Most guides mention shorting both power pins, mine has only 1. 2...

Hello everyone, currently I have the CP1500EPFCLCD CyberPower UPS, that has 900W capacity. I have it since October of 2020 and it has been amazing, never had a problem with it in any shape or form, I have been very pleased with it. My question now is, almost 5 years later, should I...

Something is wrong with the LED light on my PC's power button. For several months, its brightness has been flickering periodically—getting dimmer and then bright again. Today, it completely turned off, but after several minutes, it lit up again. I opened the case but didn’t find any loose...

I built my PC back in February, and everything was working great up until a couple of weeks ago. Recently, I started running into a bunch of strange issues that all seem to be connected to the motherboard. For example, my wireless headphones started picking up weird static in some USB ports and...

Why is the balanced power supply circuit of the amd ryzen processor set to 99% minimum power? Is this normal? I'm afraid that with such power consumption, the processor will wear out quickly. What happens if you lower the minimum value to 10%? Which is better when the consumption is at least...

I replaced my mobo & cpu with ones from a friend that worked perfectly and now the PC shows no lights and won’t turn on at all. I don’t have it fully put back together (GPU isn’t in & USB 3.0 header isn’t) but everything else is there. Gigabyte B560M DS3H i5-11600K Gskill 16gb ram (one stick)...

Hello. I am trying to profile energy usage of all components in a laptop when running a simulation. I know that fans don't draw that much power but is it possible to estimate how much power fans draw in a laptop? As in are there built in sensors similar to those that estimate gpu and cpu power...

Lately, my PC hasn't been shutting down. When I proceed to shut it down, the display goes to sleep, the graphic card's fan/light and motherboard's lights turn off, but everything else (cooler, ram fans) stays running). I looked around online and have so far turned off fast start-up in power...

I'm helping a friend's PC. It's using an Asrock Steel Legend B450 motherboard. The motherboard light blinks on its own even when the power cable isn't plugged in. When the power cable is plugged in and turned on, the PC won't start. I've already tried resetting it with a jumper, but it still...

I recently moved apartments and have been having trouble with my PC. It powers on and boots fine, but will suddenly power off after about five minutes. There is no blue screen or "shutting down" message it just turns off. I know things can get jostled around during a move, but I'm not sure what...

My EVGA 500 BR PSU is only 5 months old, my PC for the last month or so was randomly shutting down & restarting immediately with the kernel power 41 (63) event in Event Viewer, it was either at idle or during use, searches turned up that the most likely culprit is the PSU, but I decided to do...

Hi all. So I'm in a bit of a trouble here. My PC won't boot up - it's stuck between powering on and then off (all within a second) - and it keeps doing this until I turn off the PSU on the back. Sometimes I can get my PC to power on and use it like I normally would, play games, watch movies...

I've read some that says cheaper UPS will have trouble with APFC PSU, then some again that says modern UPS/PSU should have no trouble with the type of sine wave. I've also read from some that the only ones that care for pure sine waves are motors. There's also some that says there are just some...

so I was thinking of upgrading my pc this year, but due to some unforeseen circumstances money is tighter then I would like. so in the mean time I'm thinking of just upgrading my graphics card for now, from a 2060 gigabyte to a AMD 7700xt, this way i can hold out for a little bit longer and...

Hi guys I have a desktop that I just rebuilt a few months back. Brand new CPU, GPU, mobi. Today our power went out for a little. PC is on a surge strip as my PSU died and I haven't had funds for a new one. My computer was off at the time but it powers up no issue, BUT, no graphics. I tried...

Hi all, I'm looking for a machine that does not use a lot of power because it will be on 24/7. I'm deciding between two models. one model uses the Intel Core i5-14500 that has a TDP rating for 65watts and the other model has a Intel Core i7-13700T that has a TDP rating of 35watts. I got this...

So I just bought a B760M ddr4 wifi gaming plus motherboard it works great! But I paired it with a 14700F and used hwinfo64 to check everything if there's overheating or anything I notice the pkg power never goes over 110 watts. Pl1 is 219 and pl2 is 219 so I'm confused I run R23 and it gets way...

Hey y'all. My first post. Just trying to get some troubleshooting ideas. Long story short. My wife went ballistic. Hid my case and then hammered the glass. Didn't drop or anything like that. I used a shop vac and got all the glass out I could without removing anything . When you plug power to...

my computer has a board Asustek Z10PE-D16, how can I force it to stay always on? and never stay powered off? It happens that my users (Windows Server 2022) sometimes shut it down, and then I need to drive an hour to turn it back on I wonder if there is a jumper that makes it always start?

Is the Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 750W worth it over the Thermaltake Toughpower GF A3 750W for an extra $10? Or just please help me find a decent 750w 80plus gold ATX fully modular pcu (hopefully better than those) under 100... I was thinking about maybe getting a RX 7900 GRE so I would need a...

As the title says, it powers on but none of the ports work. My MSI motherboard ACE x570 is giving the no GPU detected error code. Already tried 2 different comps and it's the same issue. If the GPU is getting power, but the motherboards are giving the no GPU detected error code, could it be...
