I ordered one. Already have the fe adapter. Good price...tough to beat

not bad, I've had a few of the inland premiums and would give them high praise for the price. The inland drives can also be found on amazon if you want to read some reviews.

Sometimes free versions of video software will limit export resolution.

Really depends which 3dmark. Port royal at 4k is a pretty good stress test.

It's rated mature, not immature ;)

Search hp 1060 3gb Oh woops, wrong card

I've done such things... Pain though. Might be better to connect the outer ports and use 45 or 90 degree fittings on the inner going to your other components

Looks more like a pny or msi than an evga

There isn't an easy "turn this option on" solution. You can tweak voltage and undervolt the cpu to use less power, at some point creating instability. 5000 series I believe allow for per core or per ccx undervolting. Of course, that would be a bit time consuming.

Can't hurt to test again with the heatsink off.

Some of us cap our frame rate :D

Multimeter to see if 12v pins are shorted to ground. If so, remove heatsink and retest.

You can try powering the system without a gpu or ram installed. Obviously it won't post or boot, but it might give some insight to see if the power supply is still tripping.

in that case, it sounds like the PSU is tripping, thus needing to be reset by cutting power to it entirely. Could be a result of a shorted out component on the board or even a dead CPU.
