Occasional complete system failures during gaming sessions.
The water cooler in your setup is referred to as an AIO (All In One). These systems operate as sealed loops and don’t need regular upkeep. AIOs tend to have more potential failure points compared to standard air coolers—the pump might malfunction, the loop can become blocked from debris or liquid buildup, and the system may automatically shut down if temperatures rise too high. While gaming, you can check the tubes exiting the pump for warmth; if they feel cool, it suggests the fluid isn’t moving properly.
Impressive work, great attention to detail. Appreciate your notice!
I would certainly alter that PSU. Even if it's not the issue, I would switch it out.
Finding a used item for $20 on eBay indicates it's of good quality!
I think you're asking about determining the required wattage for a project. You can figure it out by checking the specifications or calculations needed for your setup. Let me know if you'd like guidance on that!
Consider a higher wattage power supply to ensure sufficient performance and avoid limitations. The current one may be insufficient for your needs.
Hello everyone! I chose to swap out the power supply because that seemed most likely the issue. I went shopping for a Corsair RM750e and an RTX 3060 Ti since I was away. Tested both in Black Ops III Solo Zombies (offline, apparently IPs are still leaking). Got through round 20 without any crashes or stutters. Thanks a ton to all of you! Minecraft RTX also looks great, no problems under moderate load testing, especially with ray tracing and non-RTX setups. P.S.: Rewiring an old PSU and installing a fully modular one is definitely not easy!
