Benchmark Scores Faster than yours... I'd bet on it. :)
Riiiight. But you bought the card with higher clocks. It's supposed to work at those clocks. You have not foxed the root cause... but did find a workaround. If you can't return it, I suppose that workaround has to be your fix.

Yeah, a workaround, like you said.

I dont know if I can't return the clocks, I will test it. But this workaround might be helpful for those with the same problem...

I will update you with more news about the clock/memory speed thing, leave it to me ;)

Oh and thank you, by the way. You were a great help too!

Forget everything what I said.

After 10 days, the imminent shutdown has return.

In this period I played so many games and the PC didn't shutdown, but now it came back to haunt again.

I'm gonna buy a new PSU and I will update here for more news in August.

Thank you.

Why are you returning the PSU? The GPU can't run at its stock clockspeed. THAT is a problem. I would RMA the card before I RMA'd the PSU...

I'm not going to be much help at choosing a PSU. I normally just buy one that is overkill from a decent brand, and has a good warranty.


I love all the "I've had no experience as an owner of the product in question. But I read such and such written by so and so ON THE INTERNET. So by God it must be true."

LAUGH MY EFFING ASS OFF!!!:roll:

Nope. Not once. Not ever. Nor will there ever be a time when I look to a product review on the internet to guide me in my choice of purchasing ANY product of ANY type. Grow a brain and try thinking for yourself sometime.

The things I have bought for my that I have regretted buying have all been things I ignored my brain and looked at reviews to buy. That Seasonic Platinum-1000 that has a glowing review here at TechPowerUp for example.

Oh, about that...

The PC shutdown before I tested with more clock/memory speeds.

And the PSU is doing some crazy sounds now, it seems like a bee sometimes when I run a game, a continuous stuttering and then shutdown.

I thank you very much for your help , with or without experience in PSUs ;)

@EarthDog.

In fact, I cant even play a game.

I was gonna start Skyforge (MMO) and before gets to the menu, the PSU did some noises like this:
. And then, another power cycle.

Any chance you can record and upload a video of it?

Sorry, I'm late...

Yes, of course, there is the video:


The sound is more strong when I put settings at very high in the game, and the sound is clearly coming from the PSU.

It didn't shutdown because I turned off the home theater (The PC did shutdown with the home theater ON in 2, 3 seconds after putting very high settings... everything is in the same line filter - monitor, PC and home theater).

Sounds like a combo of coil whine and a fan bearing to me.

Also, a home theater system shouldn't be causing the PC to shut down unless there is some massive interference put out by it.

You can hear the sound in 1:14.

When I put very high settings, in 2:46

Hope it is a good PSU. Thermaltake is hit and miss...

Glad it solved the issue though.
