So 4 days ago my computer just started randomly shutting down. No warnings, no events in Event Viewer. One instance I can be playing a game, the next just attaching a USB Drive does it. ASRock X470 Taichi motherboard Ryzen 5 2600X 16GB Team Group Vulcan RAM ASRock RX 590 Phantom Gaming X 750w CoolerMaster MWE Gold I'm checked cables, I've checked thermals (temps never exceed 55C on the CPU, 70C on the GPU). I cannot for the life of me figure this one out. |

You were spot on. I put in an old Corsair 620 we had at the IT company I work at and haven't had a shutdown since. Also, after looking at CoolerMaster's MWE forums (mine is the MWE 750 Gold V1) I'm almost afraid to get another one. Some people are sharing pictures of double wired cables (2 cables in 1 pin), and a the number of failures after 6 months to a year seem to be high. With that, would you have a recommendation of a better PSU? Thinking of a 750W Corsair fully modular, or even sticking with this old 620 if my boss okays it. |

evga make good ones (select a gold rating) corsair can turn out some borderline cheap ones avoid the VS series for example.. to be fair im sat looking at a corsair modular gold here on the shelf due to cutting out with any video card more powerful than a dam gtx750............ apperently its 750watt capacity cant handle an gtx 1050 haha, and it checks out fine with my power supply tester and everything best advice for buying a decent power supply to is to go find one or two decent reviews including guys running load tests and checking the ripple etc (some of these reviews are very anal but very good for info as to what your getting for your money) ------------- [url=https://valid.x86.fr/jpg250]  [/url]3800X, powercolor reddevil vega64, gskill tridentz3866, taichix370, evga750watt gold |

The PSU I put in is the Corsair HX620. Crazy that this thing it is over 10 years old but still powers my build without any issues. I am currently looking at either the Corsair RM750x or EVGA SuperNOVA 750GA. Both are overkill for my system I am sure...at the same time I am considering asking my boss if I can just keep the HX620 since it doesn't have any issues at all. |

Whatever you decide to go with .. go for 80+ Gold or better rating and read up on the plethora of PSU review sites out there as well as user ratings via Newegg or Amazon etc to check buyer experiences in addition to the review sites. Give yourself a bit of head room to upgrade to more power hungry components if the opportunity arises for yuh ------------- |Ryzen 5 5900|ASRock X570 Taichi-BIOS 4.60|2x16GB HyperX Predator RGB 3200@3600 1:1 IF|ASRock RX 6700XT|2 x PCIe 4.0 M.2 Drives for OS & Games|850 WTT Seasonic 80+ Titanium PSU|Noctua NH-D15| |
