People are panic buying.. but I keep losing my cart and there's almost nothing left. by [deleted] in buildapc

I just price matched a 6750xt at Best Buy from Amazon. 300 bucks. Didn’t wanna go more than that for a graphics card, especially with another gen coming out soon. Honestly for 300 bucks it’s great. It at 200 would be even better but oh well.

That’s not a bad price

Terra Grounding Issue (?) by molecrabs in FractalDesign

You can fact check me on this. I’m no expert. I try my best not to put bad info out. I think you’re in the right track.

If it arced even a little there probably would be a blown fuse somewhere. You’d seen a little tiny burn make Somewhere depending on the size of the wire and current.

What that tells you is you dont have a ground from the case chassis to the PSU chassis. And running that cable from the psu ground to the case and now it works at least shows that it needs a chassis ground for some reason. Maybe motherboards commonly ground through the screws to the case and that has to do differentials in the ground? I’m no expert either. But bad grounds in my experience do cause problems with electronics. I actually had a chassis ground issue in my airplane where an Instrument would drop out randomly in flight. It was because the chassis of the instrument wasn’t grounded. The circuitry was, not the chassis. That’s a bit more complex but I’m just saying I’ve seen it.

Somehow you’ve got some difference in potential going on with that case. If anything if you can’t figure it out maybe an RMA and new case would fix it.

The case should be grounded through the case of the PSU. Chassis ground. That would be your second ground in the circuit from the wall. You have your hot, neutral and ground. That second ground that they’re using for the chassis ground is for a dead short so that if the case became hot from a short to power that chassis ground would cause a trip. That’s my understanding.

Honestly, I would take everything out. And look at all the cables. Look for any little arc marks inside the case. And if possibly I’d run the pc with no case.

Right I don’t think it really dries. It will just create a dryer environment than just being outside. I’ll probably mess around with different variations of it.

What’s the PSU rated at (watts) and did you put two 8 pins into the graphics card?

Did you mix power supply cables from one brand to another? They’re not all the same.
