Hey guys,
I upgraded from these specs:
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
COOLER: Arctic 360mm AIO
MOBO: ASUS Tuf X570 non-Wifi
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 4x8GB 3200MHz
GPU: EVGA RTX 2070 Super Ultra OC
M.2: Sabrent Rocket 4.0
PSU: Corsair RM850
To a Ryzen 5 5600X a few days ago. It has run great in terms of performance, temperatures rarely even get over 70°C on the GPU or CPU under full extended load.
The problem is, ever since I upgraded, it keeps tripping the circuit breaker. It had previously only done so maybe once a month. I replaced the PSU today with an EVGA 850GQ, reseated the GPU, played for about an hour and a half, and celebrated that I had solved the issue, when the circuit tripped again.
I've run it on an extension cord into the living room, on a separate circuit, and same result.
Considering the TDP of my new and old processors is 65W, and HWMonitor never reported the 5600X breaking 75W, I'm really reluctant to blame the CPU for tripping my circuit breaker, and would prefer not to downgrade and write it off.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your time!
