So update for everyone, he took it home after the 3 hour stress test at my house. It rebooted 10 minutes in. So I had him try a different power strip. Same issue with rebooting. Then I told him to try a different outlet. He tried the one in the master bedroom near his streaming room, sure enough that worked. Turns out the mancave and master bedroom are on a different circuit compared to the rest of the house.

Good afternoon everyone, I'm posting on the forum since I am running out of ideas for troubleshooting my friend's build that I made for him. Some context, his old computer before the new build never rebooted randomly. It only started doing it once he moved from his apartment to the home he bought (built in 1942). Also none of the electrical outlets have a three prongs for power, just the old school two prong. He is using a two prong to three prong electrical adapter for his power strip. He is telling me that there are times that it rebooted at random intervals. I first noticed that he installed Windows10 build 2004 if that makes any difference. He is getting Event ID 41, kernel power per event viewer. Here is some troubleshooting I have done; - I did sfc /scannow and it found some corrupted issues that it fixed. - Can't do chkdsk due to build 2004 problems. - Disabled fastboot, set system to high performance power mode, and disabled all hybrid sleep/hard drive sleep options. - Swapped out his old Corsair CX750M for a new EVGA 850GA. - Installed AMD chipset drivers, and set power plan to Ryzen high performance. - Went into power settings and disabled all sleep states for the HDD and for the system. - Updated his BIOS from F12e 03/06/20 to F20a 06/16/20. - Set BIOS to optimized defaults, but enabled XMP Profile 1 which OC to 3600, Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB 3600. Note it still crashed before the OC was applied. I have disabled Spread Specturm Control and so far it's been running fine for roughly an hour and it randomly rebooted. - Reverted from 2004 back to 1909, and installed all updates needed for 1909. Delayed 2004 build by 365 days. - Ran sfc /scannow, and it fixed some corrupted issues again. - Now being on 1909, I am running chkdsk command. - System was running good for another 21 minutes and randomly rebooted. - Installed AMD chipset drivers again on build 1909, and set power plan to Ryzen high performance. - Verified again via power settings that all sleep states for the HDD and for the system are disabled. - Computer worked great and called it a night. (Saturday 2am) - He came home from work Saturday afternoon and had a 5 hour stream without issues until he closed OBS and it reset. - Come to find out today (Sunday) that he was watching Netflix via Chrome and 30 minutes into Trailer Park Boys, it reset again. - This morning I also suggested to turn off hardware acceleration for Chrome, and Discord. - Told me it was running good for about 30 minutes before he turned it off to bring the system to my house for more testing. - Ran MemTest86 and it passed all four tests with zero errors, 3 hours later (at my house). If everything is fine with the system, I am thinking it could be his house electrical? Just spitballing some ideas. Will find out his results from later today and edit the post.

Awesome thank you all for your help

I’m probably going to just OC to 4.3-4.5 using the ASUS utility

As the tittle states, I am trying to find an 8 pin CPU to 4+4 pin (or just 4 pin) EPS that is a sleeved cable, not an extension. I was able to score an ASUS X99 A II + 6800K for $200 locally, which is a nice upgrade from my 5 year old 4690K. This motherboard requires both an 8 pin and a 4 pin for CPU power. My plan is to just use ASUS overclock utility and be happy with it. I own an EVGA Supernova 850 G2, and I also bought a full sleeved cable mod kit for it. However, I can’t find that damn 4+4 EPS. I’m looking to see if someone can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated. Thank you.

It's simple Linus, we kill the Batman.

Could I also potentially get a molex to 12v barrel connector for the controller you posted? I really just want it to turn on and off with system power versus using a remote like I do with my desk.

I have two of those for my desk, I wanted to see if I can get away with having something internal that will turn off and on with the system. Another option would be to get a molex connector and solder it? That being said, did you notice the controller I linked says 12-24V?

I've been doing some digging around in the forums, I am interested in buying some Phanteks Halos for my Noctua NF-12s in my build. Since my PC is a few years old with a Z97 board, before the RGB craze it does not have any RGB sync that's common place today. My question is can the halos power/color config be controlled using an SMD5050 USB controller like this one below; https://www.amazon.com/Lemonbest-120leds-Flexible-Changing-Waterproof/dp/B015R44RZC/ref=sr_1_5?s=lamps-light&rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1523324307&sr=1-5&keywords=rgb+usb&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011%2Cp_72%3A1248909011 I saw in a previous thread on the forums someone mentioned using a SMD5050 controller, but I would prefer to power it internally either via USB using my NZXT USB hub, or worst case scenario molex connector. Thanks!

Hello all, this is my first post on the forums. I come with a question. I am wrapping up the final mods done with my first PC build that was completed last year. Today I had taken my GTX 1080 to a local computer shop to install the new EVGA Hybrid Cooler onto the card. I bought the newly modified card home and started to prep my 2x NF-12 fans for push/pull configuration until I realized there was a snag. Being the NF-12s are PWM fans with a 4-pin connector, I did not notice that the stock 120mm fan from EVGA is a 3-pin connector. From the looks of the female connector, there are two pins and one blank. I cannot connect my 4-pin Noctua Y splitter into the supplied female 3-pin as is pulling power from the card itself. My question is there an 3-pin to 4-pin Y splitter or some sort of adapter I can use to complete this portion of my upgrade progress. PS: Please excuse the PSU wiring mess. As my cablemod cables from performance-pc are in the mail scheduled for tomorrow. Plus the shroud needs to get modified on the Panzer Max to accommodate for the 120mm radiator plus two fans. Thank you.
