Hey guys, I got a sound hang when playing rust it hard locked my system i had to restart it i haven't had this problem before but any idea what it could be related to?

Also system is at stock speed right now no overclock.

I assume you mean it plays the same 1 millisecond of sound constantly and the whole system locked up? If it was without a BSOD, it's could be either an unstable overclock, or PSU related.
 
Yer it was a sound loop no BSOD the system restarted 10seconds later, Maybe the PSU got to hot then I'm guessing.
 
Where did it happen?

Usually it means unstable ram OC or cpuv issue.

If i remember correctly you made a thread about this last year & everyone recommended that you upgrade the PSU when you could.

There are a few solutions to this but neither are probably what you want to hear

1. Downgrade your GPU to something less power hungry

2. Change the case - Buy a Fractal NODE 304 and upgrade the PSU to a 600-750w unit.

With everything plugged in youre probably running that SF PSU at its limit.
 
happened in rust and was random.

The PSU can handle my hardware just fine it can push out around 500w my system doesn't use any more than 380w and thats DC not AC .


Its more likely it got to hot as its summer and i have no AC in my room ambient temp is around 31c.

Cool story bro...

Nvidia recommends 600w minimum for a GTX 780 Ti, maybe you can teach them a thing or two about power consumption as they've clearly got it wrong.

PSU is probably capable of running that system at stock, with a little OC, but certainly not at temperatures that one would typically see inside an ITX system on a hot day. I'd definitely say PSU temps are an issue. That 80mm fan is terrible.

So Rust the game or Rush the BF4 gametype. If BF4, it happened to me and two other friends last night. DICE created a lemon when they made BF4.
 
PSU got too hot because of overload. happened to me on generic PSUs.


you got a 780 Ti and an overclocked intel i7..
intel tdp is not max tdp. after you overclock it will go lol
drop your overclocks and try it.

It is a cool sorry isn't it Nvidia recommends 600w for a lot of reasons none that carry over to my build. Older LGAs use more power 1366 also you have to take in to count HDDs as well so 600w is minimum just to cover all bases for maximum power draw along with the GPU.

Sorry Rust the game i played hours of BF4 with no problems at all but it was on a cooler night.

I said on my OP that I'm running stock speeds but i do think its overheating.
 
yes even with stock speeds, intel gives the RMS tdp. which is not the same as the max TDP... so better get a corsair CX 600 atleast before it all blows up XD

The PSU does bring air in from out side not from inside the case.

Like i said before 380w drain on a 450w unit that has been shown to output 500w isn't a problem.

It's not all about watts. How many amps on the 12v rail?

(Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 42 Amps.)

Why cheap out on a PSU anyway? ALWAYS have more than you need.

37amps which is fine to run a 780TI people say you need 42amps but once again maximum draw for a high powered system not a MINI ITX.

I used this PSU for 8 hours of gaming in BF4 that compared to rust for 2 hour is like playing pong.

If by people you actually mean EVGA and/or nVidia then yes.

Overheating PSU seems likely. My pickup truck can go ~120mph but after 10 mins the transmission fluid would be boiling and causing damage.
It can do it though so it MUST BE OK!!
 
Had also once that with my X-Fi... the problem was in 3,3V rail.. it was simply too low like 3,0V and bsods occurred when doing sound bang boom tasks...
 
Guys, if @EarthDog can run a 690 on a 550w PSU, then this guy's 450w PSU is capable of running his system, most certainly at stock speeds. I assume the OP has been running his system like this for a long time, if it weren't enough wattage, it would have spontaneously combusted long before now.

That PSU does have ripple issues on one of the rails though, but nothing drastic for a gold rated PSU.

Yes i been using this PSU on my current rig for over 6 months all i have done is change to water and picked up a M1 case, But also over those 6 months the weather has got hotter.


Guess ill have to buy a AC or put my rig in a fridge when gaming.

Is earthdog using an SFX size PSU? We are talking about heat being the problem. Not wattage.

Where's your PSU intake located? Bottom of the case?

I'm not arguing that heat isn't the problem, I'm telling everyone who is saying 450w isnt enough that it is enough.

Its on the side it sucks air in and blows it out of the top of the case, The rads hot air does blow onto the unit just not into the unit.

depends very much on the design of the psu. if its not well built it wont have much leeway.
 
If it's a overheating issue of the PSU test it by using a house hold fan blowing as much air at it as possible...
