Hi, i have Antec true power 750w running good from last 12 years. but now it seems to show its age and the system restarts randomly.

Running Gtx 1080 Ti. 

I got a good offer on Amazon, and i bought it for $160. ($250 regular price).

I have been reading Antec is not the same company as it was ~10  years ago, and i couldn't find any trusted reviews of this model. 

Should i complete the purchase or cancel this ?

Also planning to upgrade GPU in future.

Thanks

I apologise if this is out of topic. Need your help with this issue.

I am using Samsung S8 for over a year.

Yesterday suddenly after opening camera, the screen turned yellow with reduced brightness. and black vertical lines appeared all over the screen.
Restarting, switching ROMs dint help.

The lines show up in 30% birghtness to 70%. the issue randomly comes after using phone for few minutes.
i also notieced when i have a complete black wallpaper, the screen instead of displaying complete black, very dim red pixels are active in black area.

Last good image is when the brightness is less than 20%. everything seems to be good here.

Any one had same issue ?

The fans are most likely dc controlled and don't get enough voltage below 30% to start up properly.

 

If you want a 0 rpm mode I suggest setting the second "point" in the curve to 36c and set the temp hysteresis to 3c.

Thanks, now the curve looks something like this.

I got a gtx 1070. i have configured fan curve to start the fans at 35c. After the temperature hits 35c, the fan speed starts at 1%.

But instead of fans spinning at constant speed, they turn off and on continuously(temperature is still above 35c here.)

These drops happen till fan reaches its 30% speed, and after that there is there is no drop in the fan speeds.

Any idea why this happens?

Its been few days since i got a used 1080 ti. And its getting heated crazy on the backplate and specially the 2 exposed vrms on the backplate.

i see that even if the backplate has very little direct contact with PCB, it gets very hot, then imagine actual temps on the components.

As gamer nexus vid says the cooling on this card is meh. so i was thinking just remove the backplate and put 120mm x 2 fans on the pcb with some support.

that should ideally cool the pcb and vrms below it ? or should the vrms be cooled from the top ? 

i know that the rubber between heatsink and vrms heatsink should be removed, and a thermal pad should be added betwee. but i dont think that will be efficient than adding fans.

Oof, that's going to be a heavy bottleneck unless you've put on a nice overclock.

will it be a bottleneck on 1080p @60fps as well ?

The 1080 will be fine, granted you have a beefy CPU to back it up. You're otherwise wasting both money and performance.

Running on i7-950. 

GTX 780 has its minimum power specs to 600w. your power supply does not have a 8 pin cable because it cannot supply sufficient power on the 8 pin. 

You can still go ahead and use adaptor for 6 to 8 pin, but it will definitly cause instablity due to insufficient power in demanding games.

hi, i am getting a good deal for new Asus Gtx 1080 around $500.

Currently running Gtx 570. I will be gamming on 1080p. no plans of changing that in long run.

Will this card hold up like 5-6 years from now till i get unplayable framerates?

or should i shell out more money and buy RTX 2070 at actual price only for its new features?

well if its the same rail and one set of cables work while another do not then theres a physical problem with the cable or connector or area where they are soldered to the pcb in the psu

thanks, shall i check the voltage in these cables or something else ? i suppose if there was no correct voltage the GPU would not start in the first place.

are you 100% sure it's the same rail becuase it sure sounds like one rail is going out

i checked this review - https://www.kitguru.net/components/power-supplies/zardon/antec-truepower-750w-new-series-review/2/

Hi, my pc config 

Antec true power 750w

MSI GTX 570

Asus sabertooth x58

Intel i7 950 stock

16GB DDR3 ram

so it has been 7 years since this configuration is running without any problems. Recently, strange thing happend. When i open any game and after random minutes in game, screen gets blacked out and i have to hard reset the machine.

GPU temps are well under limit. Some times it crashes within few seconds of same game, other times its runs for 5 min or so.

GPU has 2x6 pin connectors, and it was hooked to default(2x6+2) PCI-E cables on the PSU. Now when i switched power cables to GPU from default to modular ones (2x6), the macine is stable without any problems.

The default cables and modular cables on psu both are hooked to common 12V3 and 12v4 rails. I dont understand how changing the cables effects this. 

Waiting for a miracle  

its awesome.. currently running a gtx 570.. planning to upgrade with this monster <3
