What's your power supply situation? An underpowered PSU for the components may not just simply trip the overcurrent protection, especially if it's right on the edge of what the PSU can handle. When a computer starts up it sends a spike of voltage to all of the components, which also draw heavy amperage to get started, which is why you may notice the lights dimm momentarily in your house when you start up a beastly rig. If your PSU isn't able to send enough volts and amps down to every component now that the 3090 is in the mix, you may notice strange errors that don't seem to be related to any changes you've made. There may just not be enough power going to the mobo for your RAM to function properly after your CPU and GPU hog it all. 
If your PSU is multi-rail, you could try reconfiguring which cables your GPU and Mobo + CPU supplementary power are plugged into. If you have an AIO or liquid cooling setup, switch back to the box cooler, and unplug any other unnecessary components like spinning rust and other add-in cards. Undervolting and underclocking your CPU & RAM may help alleviate some of the stress on your PSU. If any of that makes a difference, it is a pretty clear-cut indication that your system needs more juice. 

Sounds good! I'll. Update the thread once the psu comes in and let y'all know!
 
Thanks!!
 
Happy holidays.

A 750w PSU is definitely the culprit. 3090s draw unprecedented amounts of power for a desktop/consumer card. 
You probably had it hooked up best the first time, with the CPU/Mobo and GPU on separate rails.
It should be fine, in theory. A decent PSU should trip itself when dangerously overloaded before blowing up or damaging other components. It may be advisable to lower the power target on your 3090 in something like MSI Afterburner for the time being, just so you don't run into PSU-related instability while using your computer. 

Ok so afterburner screenshots 1, 2, 3, 4 & afterburner itself. The second is the most interesting you can see the power and temp limit is reached and this is around the time I am getting decreased frames.

Need more NAS/HTPC/NETWORKING videos, waited for one of these for a while.

*Slow clap* One of the most up to date and comprehensive looks at an interesting topic. Really one of the best actual tech walkthroughs in a while!

Great video Taran, really original. Definitely one of the best in a while

It's about time I join the forums.
 
Guys! Take a week off FFS. I can see several off you are tiered. Luke looks like ha has no energy. In the meanwhile here are some Ideas:
1: Make the most environmental friendly computer possible, low power consumption and recycled materials
2: Tips for people looking to sell their computer. What to charge, security, and so on
3: Home automation using old phones and tablets that are just laying around
4: Simple but cool projects using a Raspberry Pi
5: We need more software content! Like really helpful apps and system optimization
6: How about you make videos to show solutions of FAQ from the forums
7: Go dumpster diving for electronics. I've found lots of gems like a working PS1, laptops good enough for Debian server and more.
8: I would not mind a little more gaming content like reviews, or maybe even tips on really underrated games
9: Invite more guest from Youtube or even the forum and have some fun challenges with them
10: Go back and redo old content that are still a thing but now with better production quality and updated info.

I want Taran to host more videos on all your channels. He is doing a great job and he is becoming better and better each time

Do you already have the cpu?

Although I question the need the for 16gb (and the orange + red mismatch), there would be no problem in using different RAM. In their core, they are pretty much the same thing, only the heatsink is changed.
 
Since they have same timings / frequency, they should both run at stock speeds. But if one of them was better than the other, that one would just slow down to match the weaker stick.

Interesting topic, wouldn't mind more robotics on the channel or even superfun. Terran seems much more comfortable in front of the camera as well, well done!

Yay, thanks for bringing these videos back. I really miss this sort of format

kinda prefer the more relaxed style for these videos. makes them more fun to watch

As do I. I wish all their video's were like this, less "professional" and more casual.

As an individual who has moved up from a 1440x900p TN monitor to a 1080p IPS monitor, there is a significant difference.

Haha, Luke was PISSEEDD.
