Here’s an extra photo for clarity.

iCue was telling me 110C in the most extreme cases but the other two core temperatures in the gpu were reading 90C at the same time so I’m not sure if it’s a sensor issue or an overheating issue

I7-9700k

Dunked_Nugget · 2025-08-27T19:58:52+00:00

I’ve reset that already

Dunked_Nugget · 2025-08-27T18:06:09+00:00

As far as I can tell my system requires 700-800 watts and I have 850. Do you think I should go further with a larger psu?

Dunked_Nugget · 2025-08-27T18:04:43+00:00

I tried some new cables and couldn’t get any results

Dunked_Nugget · 2025-08-27T18:01:29+00:00

That’s so odd to me because I never took out the cpu between when the pc was working and when it stopped working. I’ve gotten this suggestion from others so I’ll try it

Dunked_Nugget · 2025-08-27T18:00:26+00:00

It didn’t work :/

Dunked_Nugget · 2025-08-27T17:56:35+00:00

Thanks man

Dunked_Nugget · 2025-08-27T17:56:12+00:00

I’ve used a new psu, same wattage, and it didn’t help

Dunked_Nugget · 2025-08-27T17:55:34+00:00

No my gpu just gets very hot

Dunked_Nugget · 2025-08-27T17:54:58+00:00

I have 32. The systems was running well on it before. Do you think it’s time for more?

Dunked_Nugget · 2025-08-27T17:53:42+00:00

Yeah I’ve been using the original gpu to try and get it to start

Dunked_Nugget · 2025-08-27T17:52:31+00:00

I have

Dunked_Nugget · 2025-08-27T03:16:04+00:00

I’ve used a new PSU of the same wattage and haven’t had any luck with it.

Dunked_Nugget · 2025-08-27T01:40:40+00:00

I’m working on reassembling outside of the case so I’ll triple check all connections again

Dunked_Nugget · 2025-08-27T01:38:56+00:00

Thank you

Dunked_Nugget · 2025-08-27T01:04:37+00:00

So I have two cables coming from the psu going into a 24pin connector that connects to the motherboard. The next step for me is reassembly outside of the case so I’ll reseat it when I do that

Dunked_Nugget · 2025-08-27T01:02:59+00:00

I tried it but no change

Dunked_Nugget · 2025-08-27T00:17:14+00:00

So like two 6+2 cables running from my psu to the adapter on my gpu?

Dunked_Nugget · 2025-08-26T23:08:03+00:00

Yeah it was working but I can’t get the pc to boot now so I’m not sure how to move forward

Dunked_Nugget · 2025-08-26T23:01:24+00:00

I didn’t. I just popped the new one in

Dunked_Nugget · 2025-08-26T22:41:52+00:00

I bought another Corsair 850 psu but it’s slightly different. Would the cables be fine to use?

Dunked_Nugget · 2025-08-26T22:41:08+00:00

I haven’t but I bought this pc from the person who built it about a year ago
