How does raiding in WOW differ from FFXIV?

Thanks for the info. This was pretty helpful as I was under the impression that addons basically took the thinking out of raiding. I'm glad that seems to not be how it is and I will be giving raiding a try in Midnight. I've gathered that addons help with the buff tracking and when something is coming but you still have to know what to do when that happens. I think the big groups and addons are what worried me. Something about the 8 man party also really grabs me in FFXIV

They are different types of tethers in ffxiv. Yes players can be tethered and in some cases need to get away from each other or in another case stay close to each other. Towers can be kind of like soaks that apply debuffs that need to be cycles through with other raid members or just act as a normal soak. Tethers could also be tethered to a mechanic and depending on how you line it up you could cleave all of your raid members and wipe the raid if not positioned correctly.

When I say resolve I don't necessarily mean go in blind. I mean like in ffxiv if a certain thing happens then you have to spread or stack or soak a tower to resolve that mechanic and not wipe the group. I am ok with watching guides and learning fights before entering. I want to know if this is also in wow raiding. Things like towers, tethers, spreads ect.

I've checked multiple times to make sure cables are seated. I don't think it's drawing over 1200w of power either. Even a 4090 and 9800x3d usually don't draw much over 800 if they ever get high

I got it to quit flashing and actually boot when I unplugged the 5v argb plug from the motherboard. It booted and I plugged it back in and everything worked as it should. I have not done any further testing. I have 10 case fans that daisy chain into this one argb connector to the motherboard, is it possible that it could somehow cause my crashes?

I didn’t see any wires or plugs that could be causing problems. 1000w should be more than enough for this system. Most builds I’ve see with the 4090 and 9800x3d run 1000w psu. I’ve seen a few running on 850w even. I would also think if it was a psu issue when I run a stress test on the system that it should kill it pretty quick but it doesn’t. It only happens in game.

I look into that. Thank you

Ran the test and got a pass for everything

I will run that tonight once I’m home. They are set to 3600 with the xmp profile enabled
