Multiple Realbench stress tests result in not a single problem.

Played for about a week with no overclock applied and no issue occurred. I'm not that familiar with CPU overclocking. Where can i do this? I did use Intel Extreme Tuning Utility to automatically apply an overclock to my CPU. However the CPU has been overclocked since day 1 and I have not noticed any issues with that. Thanks i will try Realbench tomorrow and report back! I already tried some unprofessional stress testing of CPU, GPU and RAM at the same time resulting in no error.

MOTHERBOARD: Asus tuf z370-plus gaming GPU: 1080TI Asus ROG Strix (non OC!) CPU: Intel i5-8600k RAM: 2x 8GB Corsair LPX 3000 PSU: Corsair Vengeance 650M Hey guys, I have recently built my first PC, however I noticed it randomly cutting out during gaming, then automatically restarting within 3 seconds. No error messages, no blue screen, simply turning off as if I would remove power (tho Motherboard and GPU LED stay on). After doing a lot of testing as it was kinda hard to replicate, I figured it was only happening with an overclock applied to the GPU. The settings were stable being tested within 3D Mark benchmarks, but it never turned off during benchmarks anyway. Most of the time it happens playing Destiny 2, loading into a new Map or during Crucible (PvP), as well as playing Hunter CotW. So I tried multiple different low overclocks with MSI Afterburner at ~1900-1970 Mhz Core Clock, Power Limit 100-120% and Memory ~5508-5208 Mhz, all resulting in the PC randomly cutting out after a while of gaming. Temperatures are decent at max ~70 C°. Event-log obviously shows Kernel Power 41 but no other critical error. Point is i'm not really worried about not overclocking to keep things stable, but I am worried if this could damage the hardware or that some components could be faulty. Thank you very much for time and help! Edit 1: Btw. without manual OC GPU-Boost 3 boosts core-clock to about 1885 Mhz. System never turned off because of this.

I think I might have the same issue? Same thing randomly (not always) happens to me, when loading into a PvP Match in Destiny 2. Haven't noticed the issue in any other game, or during stress tests/benchmarks. Only thing similar to our PC is the RAM. I'm using the same one. Maybe there is some problem with it?

Didn't think this would end up in a CPU discussion. Maybe i should add: I am playing on an 1440p 144hz Monitor and am mainly looking forward to destiny 2. In the few benchmarks i looked at the i5-8400 seemed like a great deal. Don't really have much clue of overclocking anyway.

Hey Guys, I'm currently thinking about upgrading my PC (for gaming). I plan on buying an Intel i5-8400 and an Asus Rog Strix 1080Ti, other than that nothing too fancy about my build. The only PSU-Calculator i found listing the i5-8400 was from Be-Quiet, estimating about 400 Wattage. However most people online recommend 650W PSU with an 1080Ti? The thing is that i still own a good 500W PSU. Do you think it will suffice as i would rather not spend any more money? Thanks for your help!
