• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Comp turns off under load

If he punches in the computer layout he has, and comes up with a PSU that is a couple hundred watts over what he has...then he might really need a larger PSU. If he punches in what he has and comes up with something with equal or less watts than what he has, then he is most likely overloading one rail.

The tool still has its purposes.

Your best bet is to utilize the correct tool in assessing your situations. Which is why Ice Czar and myself put together the stickies at the top of the forum (though people fail to read them). Using a PSU calc that actually gives the amp values is the proper way to sleuth out a problem as opposed to A Shot in the Dark........
