Re: Is Seasonic SS-660KM PSU ErP Ready
Thanks, Momaka.
No, no, no gaming, not a chance until I solve this power issue. Although the PC was bought as brand new back in 2015 and capable of easily running most modern titles of the time, I actually never pushed it. The most demaning applications were emulators and recently the neweset editions of Mortal Kombat and Killer Instinct games, and some work stuff. But I surelly did not run those demanding ones for hours.
Actually, my PC spends more time powered down than running.
I asked about the PSU swap because when I used several online power calculators, they showed that for my setup I needed ~484W of power.
So you think that the SS-400ET PSU should be capable of at least providing the PC with the initial signs of life, i.e. instant power on, and BIOS setup? Those would be enough to see if PSU is the problem (as to avoid loading Windows)?
Because, once powerd on, the current SS-660KM powers the PC without a hitch (it's the startup it fails at).
No, my GTX 970 is the version with stock speed (no OC, SOC or alike) as I do not like overclocking any component. My CPU is I7 4790 (non-K version, so no overclocking of any onboard components is possible). The whole system works at stock speed, actually.
