Hi,

 

I have a EVGA Supernova G2 1300watt PSU and when cycled on and off to bleed my water cooling loop it trips the electrics everytime I didn't think much off it and grabbed a cheap £10 CIT 600watt PSU to use when I bleed the air out of my loop however I have been having a problem where the PC sometimes goes off straight after posting this is usually cold boot only hasn't happened on a restart my friend seems to think I have a faulty power supply that is getting shorted out by something or something along those lines what do you guys think I don't really have access to another psu that can supply enough power to my SLI PC to test out a different PSU.

I was going to get 1000watt but because of my cpu and overclocking my cpu others on the forum recommended I got a bigger one.  Mine are Maxwell Titan X's also so not quite as power efficient as Pascal cards

Try using the PC at another house, maybe it;s just your old house with bad wiring.

It could be that but my house isn't that old so I wouldn't have thought it would be that (1980's I believe it was built) But I could try take the PC to a relatives to try it.

Given the average US/Canadian code requirements your average house has a 15 amp circuit breaker feeding each room. Ideally it would be one for lights and one for outlets but that is usually not the case. 

Your PSU at full tilt likely draws about 10A to 11A (1300W ÷ 120V), so if you have speakers and a monitor (plus extras) plugged in too that will likely overwhelm a 15A breaker. If you are on 240V it changes things quite a bit.

 

(This assumes your PSU is maxed out, which it likely is not. Therefore it is realistically pulling about half the amperage, likely close to 6A.)

The New Machine: Intel 11700K / Strix Z590-A WIFI II / Patriot Viper Steel 4400MHz 2x8GB / Gigabyte RTX 3080 Gaming OC w/ Bykski WB / x4 1TB SSDs (x2 M.2, x2 2.5) / Corsair 5000D Airflow White / EVGA G6 1000W / Custom Loop CPU & GPU

 

The Rainbow X58: i7 975 Extreme Edition @4.2GHz, Asus Sabertooth X58, 6x2GB Mushkin Redline DDR3-1600 @2000MHz, SP 256GB Gen3 M.2 w/ Sabrent M.2 to PCI-E, Inno3D GTX 580 x2 SLI w/ Heatkiller waterblocks, Custom loop in NZXT Phantom White, Corsair XR7 360 rad hanging off the rear end, 360 slim rad up top. RGB everywhere.

Turned out to be a dodgy socket on the wall had the socket replaced and re-wired works fine now :)
