So, after about three months of mentioning I was looking at collecting parts to build my own computer, my parents decided to 'surprise' me with a prebuilt pc, and guess what? It's a CyberpowerPC! So right off the bat I'm trying to make things work, but it looks like, as expected, the PSU is already giving me problems.
Build:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VFFCQ6L/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza
Everything outside of gaming works perfectly, however once intensive things start up (most notably of which being Destiny 2 PVP) I end up crashing on the spot. Borderlands 3? Crash. Far Cry 5? Crash. Doom? Crash. Hell, I've even gotten some crashes in Dauntless. Opening the case up post-crash revealed two things I was afraid of:
For one, both tubes on the liquid cooling were hot to the touch, not good.
And two, none of the front fans were running, meaning the entire case was hot with little to no airflow.
Now, I'm not going to pretend I know everything about a PC, otherwise I wouldn't be here. Truth be told I was looking to build my first pc some time soon-ish, so I at least know a few things. I'd like to see if I can just make things work before I jump to upgrading the PSU, as I don't have a dedicated computer parts store anywhere near me. I'm going to run some temperature checks and post them in a bit, but if anyone has suggestions I'd love to hear them.
