Appreciate the feedback, it is a bias that I am aware of. Without another PSU or MoBo to test, seems like my best route would be to RMA the PSU. Going to be too much of a hassle to buy/return a PSU from my local Micro Center and I'd rather not pay them to look into this and leave my computer-less in the meantime.

Negative

Observed running demanding games or GPU benchmarks would cause computer to turn off. You can hear an audible click come from the power supply and the computer remains off. Only way to turn it back on is to switch off PSU, wait 30 seconds, switch on PSU and press the power button. I can get this issue to happen repeatedly by running the GPU Compute test on Passmark’s Performance Test. Happens almost immediately when the second test runs. I thought this was due to running the GPU with an OC, so I dialed it back to stock settings but the issue remained. I borrowed a buddy’s RTX 3080, ran the same test at the highest power and OC settings I could in MSI Afterburner and each test completed successfully. I took out my main GPU (RX 6750 XT) and ran off of the iGPU. Left the computer on overnight and found the computer turned off. Sure enough, pressing the power button did nothing. Had to switch off power supply to get the computer to turn back on. At the same time, I have had issues with this motherboard ever since it was bought as a combo deal at MicroCenter. I purchased an AMD Ryzen 7 7700X + ASUS ROG Strix B650E-F kit and had two issues since day 1. 1) The computer would do the same PSU trip when rebooting. This happens 50/50 when performing a normal restart. 2) The memory training takes forever, even with turning the memory retraining feature in BIOS off. ASUS assured me that the issue would be fixed in future BIOS revisions, but that was a year ago and no different in boot times have been observed since. I have tried: - Ran DDU and reinstalled GPU drivers - Flashing BIOS - Reseating every component and cable - Removing all parts from tower and running on my MoBo box testbench - Toggling each stick of RAM, trying different slots and number of sticks. - I don't have another MoBo or PSU to test. Given the issues of the MoBo since day 1 and the reputation I believe Seasonic PSUs to have, my belief is that it is the MoBo that is the problem.

Using wired backhaul and it is showing "great" connection quality, 1Gbps. And my only options for Nat Acceleration are "Auto" or "Disable"

Units are linked LAN to LAN. NAT Acceleration was set to Auto, which also mentions CTF being enabled. As an update, rebooting my modem fixed it before bed, but I wake up with everything (both wired and wireless) maxxed out at 100 Mbps.

Recently switched back to using two of these routers. Using them in an AIMesh setup, but this post is concerning the wired, ethernet speeds. All speed tests have been coming back at around 200ish Mbps down and up. I have AT&T Fiber gigabit internet and ethernet straight from the modem is getting me about 930ish Mbps down and up. Wired speeds were fine in my past router setup (Netgear Orbi). Troubleshooting attempted so far: - Disabled QoS - Disabled AiProtection - Disabled Guest Networks and bandwidth limiters - Updated firmware (currently on 3.0.0.4.386_51668 - Changed out ethernet cables - Ensured all cables are, at least, Cat 5e or better - Rebooted both modem and router(s) - DHCP query frequency is set to Aggressive (by default) - NAT Acceleration set to Auto - Jumbo Frame set to Off

Appreciate the feedback about the o-rings and pump. Going to scrap the idea altogether.

The block is brand new. Should that be an issue, do I have any options to replace those o-rings? That seems almost deceitful if that product is being sold DOA.

Between the part list I posted and the GPU block, this comes out to about $200 total. I don't plan on selling the card. I use my parts until they cannot reasonably play the games I want to play.

Hey all, I'm close to pulling the trigger on my first ever GPU only loop. I've never done a custom loop before, though I have had a few AIOs. I've looked at a few of the FAQs and starter guides here on the forum but am looking for some double checking to make sure everything here should at least fit and work. Below I have posted the parts in my cart. While the short-term need is to tame my GTX 1080 Ti, I wouldn't mind expanding it to include my CPU and upgrades to the loop in the future.

This helped quite a bit, thank you. Forget to make a check of what startup programs and services are popping up. Turned off all startup apps and all non-Microsoft services from starting with Windows, down to about 25w which sounds like it'll be about as low as it gets. I'll have to look into the C-state configuration, haven't messed with that before. Ensured we were on balanced, I don't like using high performance or any AMD/motherboard enabled higher power plans. Forgot about the iGPU, I can try disabling that as well. As mentioned, I'm at about 25w idle now so doesn't sound like there's much more room for me to go. It's similar boot issues to what JayzTwoCents reported having and a bunch of others have reported. 50/50 chance the motherboard gets stuck on the orange "RAM" debug light. Requires a full power down and boot up to resolve, in my case. Some of the reviews on MicroCenter show almost same issue I have been having.

From what I have noticed, the ECO mode will prevent the CPU from going over a designated TDP figure, but doesn't actually help it reduce power consumption below 40 watts at idle. It'll help if the computer is being used constantly and I don't want the CPU pulling more than 65, 105, or 205 watts.

I recently bought a MicroCenter bundle that included the AMD Ryzen 9 7900x, ASUS B650E-F ROG Strix Gaming WiFi and a G.Skill Flare X5 Series 32GB DDR5-6000 Kit. I noticed that with all stock/default motherboard settings and sitting on desktop with as few applications open as possible, the CPU is pulling about 40W at idle. I noticed my idle temps also don't fall below 40c. This computer is intended to be left on to power the computer for Parsec, Hyper-V, Plex and an NVR, with personal gaming occuring for about an hour a day. Not only is this computers being used as a shared resource but the boot issues with Zen 4 have been frustrating to work through. Since this computer will be sitting idle for the large majority of the time, I'm looking for ways to cut down on idle wattage as much as I can. The only steps I have tried to net any sort of improvement have been turning off Core Performance Boost and setting the curve optimzer to a -20 offset, which netted me about a 5 watt improvement at idle. Disabling an entire CCD had no impact on idle power and actually led to issues launching World of Warcraft. Disabling cores from BIOS did not have an impact. Not sure what else I can try to reduce idle wattage. Other parts: 3 m.2 SSDs, 3 SATA HDDs, 1 internal blu ray drive, RTX 3060 Ti, Seasonic TX-750 PSU, Noctua NH-U12S redux

Update: I was using the URL shortcut for Parsec instead of using the Parsec client itself. When using the Parsec client to connect to the VM, I now just get a black screen. Can hear sound, but no video nor mouse cursor.

I am having two different issues at the moment. Some related to what others have mentioned, some unique, I think. As others have noted, after rebooting the VM once, my VM is now 1024x768 @ 30Hz? I deleted the VM then re-did the instructions, still having the same issue. Also, other local computers are unable to connect properly to the VM. When they try to connect via Parsec, they are getting "Unable to establish peer to peer connection. Error code 6023". However, one local computer is able to use Parsec to connect to another local computer on the network. My network setup may be part of the issue but it's strange that local computer to local computer is fine, but local computer to VM isn't working. I went to the Parsec site and looked at the troubleshooting guides for that error code. I opened the ports specified, I ensured Parsec was allowed in all Windows Defender firewalls, I ensured UPnP was already enabled.
