Question Lian Li Strimer Plus V2 problem

[nakedtons]

I first bought a set of Lian Li Strimer Plus V2 for the 24 pin connector with the L3-Connect controller included. Everything worked flawlessly. I then went to get the 2 x 8 pin strimer plus for my GPU a month later. I plugged everything in correctly but my GPU was not able to boot and I had to press the connectors firmly together again in order to get a boot. It happened again for the second cold boot after I moved the cables a little as it was a little out of place and I had to open my case and do the same thing to get it to boot. As a result, it causes my hard drive to initial automatic repair upon a successful boot. Reminds me of my old rig when it often failed to boot after a bump and I had to press the connectors into the mobo and gpu hard to get a successful boot. Is it a problem with the Lian Li extension cables? The PC booted fine without the 2 x 8 pin extension plugged in.

Strimers often sause issues. They make the cables londer with and extra set of connectors the voltage at the end of the cables is lower. Sometimes to low, especially when the PSU has not the best voltage stability.

What's the brand and model of the PSU and GPU?

PSU is Seasonic Focus GX-750W and GPU is Gigabyte AERO OC RTX 4060 8GB which was bought in July.

The Focus GX 750 has thin PCI-e cables that doesn't help either. Did you use 2 seperate cables from the PSU to the strimer or is it a daisy chained cable?

One cable consists of a daisy chained cable of 2 x 8 pin connectors. I just plugged the strimer into those 2 connectors. The PSU doesn't have a single 8 pin connector.

However, if it manages to boot, it is still very stable even with heavy gaming. The problem is the unstable cold boot. I don't wish to corrupt my hard drive OS because of it. I have precious data in it. I remember twice it requires the 3rd try before been able to boot my GPU.

Maybe I should try to switch the order around as my GPU only requires a single 8 pin connector?
