Thank you guys for the help! I appreciate the support in the community. I installed an 800w power supply and the issue went away.

Yeah, you got me. I don't have an integrated GPU in my chip, afaik, but I am considering spending the money for the sx850 and dropping it in so I don't have to sacrifice my cable management. haha

Thanks for reading! I appreciate your help and your input. I don't think it's an overheating problem, but I can give it a shot. As it is my CPU temp never exceeds 45-55 deg C, and my GPU temp is still at a reasonable level like 65 deg C when I experience the problem.

Hello, I'm experiencing a recurring issue that I've been able to replicate using Cities: Skylines. My system: ASUS ROG Strix B350-i AMD Ryzen 7 1800x PowerColor Radeon RX Vega 56 with 64 bios Corsair H75 AiO CLC G.Skill TridentZ 3200Mhz 2x8gb DDR4 Windows 10 (non-pro) x64 Silverstone SX650-G Full Build at https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sQyqNQ My system can handle both heavy workloads (rendering, artificial CPU/GPU load using Kombustor and powermax, 3DMark). However, when running a resource-heavy game like Cities: Skylines, the system will shut off (hard power off) as soon as 3D gameplay and movement begins. I have found that this issue comes and goes, although power consumption of the GPU is measured and stays roughly the same during gameplay. I have also attempted switching the GPU back to Vega 56 bios, underclocking or undervolting the GPU, throttling power back, reinstalling drivers, and still the issue persists. I'd like to think it doesn't have to do with my PSU, since I'd have to go by another SFX one. ? Not a thermal problem, likely, unless I'm missing something. Thoughts, guys? Thanks for the help.

Never mind… I found out it the GPU was massively overheating.

Hi, guys, I'm working the kinks out of my new build. Having just completed this: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RBdcGG I was experimenting with using heavy workloads. I stress-tested using 3DMark and Kombustor with pretty positive results, and Blender renders were without a hitch. The issue came when doing certain games. After a period of time, the system powered itself off in the middle of my gameplay (crash to power off). I don't believe my CPU thermals are the culprit. At least when the titles in question are run, are pretty consistent under or at 60 deg C. I have a few ideas: PSU, GPU, or chipset. The GPU is, in all fairness, actually a Vega 56 with the Vega 64 BIOS loaded onto it and undervolted. However, I didn't think it an issue since I torture tested it both gaming-wise and computationally using 3D Mark and Blender, respectively. The PSU is 650 watt. Is that enough? I'm worried that the chipset isn't being cooled adequately. I currently have case fan set up to mirror temps from the PCH and the motherboard, but I worry about adequate ventilation in the case. As it is I only have one case fan installed in addition to the push/pull AIO setup. I appreciate any help on this. Thanks guys.

Thanks for the help, everyone! I'll definitely be revisiting my build and tweaking it to be more effective.

What's the difference between the iterations of the H60?

Quick question, all, In my effort to develop a long-lasting but also reasonably-priced build that will meet my needs, I have chosen a mini-ITX build that uses Ryzen 7 1800x and AMD RX 580 8gb GPU. The chassis I've chosen is a Phanteks Enthoo Evolv Shift, with room for a 120mm liquid cooling radiator. The trouble here is that a CPU cooler is limited to 80mm tall. So, sff is definitely my best option for air. What is my best option for CPU cooling? I am not driven to overclocking, but I'm not leaving it out of the question. Initially, I was investigating both the Cryorig C1 and the Cryorig C7 Cu. However, at that price, I was also wondering if a 120mm AIO would be a better option for thermals, but then long-term liability gets into play. In addition, I worry that the C1 and the C7 Cu, both with an arguably sufficient TDP rating, would not only disallow for any potential overclocking, but would also have heat/airflow problems in a tiny case with the open-air GPU. If AIO is compelling, can anyone recommend a good option to me? I'd like to avoid spending more than $60 to $70 on a cooling solution so I can keep costs down.

Hello, Just opened my account on the forums. Happy to be here! I'm out of college and am saving up to build a strong PC that I can use for gaming, multitasking (I have a bad habit of leaving things open across multiple virtual desktops), doing normal work, occasional artwork as a hobby, video/music editing, and data storage. Basically, I wouldn't consider myself a daily movie and video editor, but I want to know that whatever I throw at it, the PC can handle it. Also, team red ftw. Ideal budget would be in the 1200-1500 range tops. What I've picked so far... AMD Ryzen 7 1800x CPU Cryorig H7 (non-RGB) Cooling MSI ProSeries B350M Mortar mATX Mobo ('cuz it has USB Type-C) MSI Gaming Radeon RX 580 Armor Mk2 8Gb OC EVGA 600 BQ PSU Patriot Viper DDR4 3200MHz RAM Dual-Band WiFi/Bluetooth PCI-e Adapter (simply for the sake of convenience) 4Tb Seagate Barracuda 3.5" Hard Disk for long-term data storage My Crucial MX300 750gb SSD for software and games - already have this Windows 10 (maybe pro, idk if I need the drive encryption yet) What I'm stuck on... Boot disk I'd like to get an NVMe SSD that'll provide a pretty nice speed boost for quite some time in terms of OS, and I currently have a WD Black in my laptop and I love it. I'm stuck between the equivalently-priced WD Black 250gb and Corsair MP500 120gb drives, just because I don't know how much the speed difference (2gbps vs 3gbps, respectively) will make. Case I want a Micro-ATX case that will be compact while still also offering upgradeability, like: Tecware Quad: https://www.tecware.co/quad Kolink Sanctuary: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/kolink-sanctuary-micro-atx-cube-case-black-ca-02k-kk.html Am I making a mistake looking at those? Should I consider something like a mini tower instead? My primary goal case-wise is small form factor, high density, while still offering good thermals and performance. Cooling It seems that liquid cooling is a popular choice for Ryzen users. I am open to any solution, but I chose air cooling for its lower price and lower failure risk mechanically. Plus, I've heard that AIOs tend to need replacement once in a few years. I'd like to avoid that problem, if possible. GPU I am definitely a Radeon guy, and like everyone else, I'm trying to find something that's feasible for long-term use at a low price. Does this mean changing to the 4gb card instead of 8gb? What about a different gpu model? Also, crossfire? Future-proofing Yeah, maybe there's no such thing. But, I'd like to make a machine with a powerful, competent CPU. I'm willing to accept that I may need to swap out the GPU once in a few years, but I'd like to invest in worthwhile, long-life components so I can hang onto that machine for at least 5 to 10 years. So, that's my plan. Any thoughts? PC Part Picker link: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xLZnGG
