Random Rohan crashes. Plzz read n help meh ><

Just checked my temps running one Rohan client. 41 degrees lol. Figured it would be lower as when I'm running Battlefield 4 cpu temp is round about the same at 40-45 degrees.

But with (auto)adjusted fanspeeds.
Exactly what I meant.

The above temperatures are thus more than fine. In other words: CPU/MOBO/GPU has got nothing to do with the issue at hand.


I hope he bought the parts himself before having it put together, and checked the integrity of each of those items after installation. For all you know, they put a refurbished PSU or shizzle like that.. wouldn't surprise me.
I'm not a fan of computerstores, btw..not sure if it shows.

My colleague (45+ and not computersavvy), had virus/malware issues with his. Took it to the police to report (lol), then went with it to a shop. They charged him 36 EUR per half an hour to fix it.
I declared him crazy for doing that, could have just given it to me.
He got it back, 1 day later he had the issue again. This time he passed it to me. The store didn't even bother to run a decent scan. Found 7 threads, and cleaned over 2.7 GB! of junkfiles (temp.files and crap..). Talk about a lucrative business..

start in bios and check that the Power supply units stats match what the power supply actually is.
if your PSU is under 500watts i would be worried, if there were additional fans or video cards attached.
if all else fails .. turn off the power supply surge "detect" feature in the bios.

[Mctwattybollox]

Yeah forgot about the adjusted fan speeds lol. I'm lucky my pc is whisper quiet even when its under load, just figured as BF4 is a notoriously CPU intensive game, that Rohan would run at a lower temperature. My pc sounds the same when playing both games lol

Looking at the pc build you'd probably be able to get away with a 400 watt PSU, providing it was an efficient one. Ideally you'd want a 600 watt PSU. Anything less and its gonna struggle. If you've got a spare one from an old pc, or if a friend has one, try it and see if it makes a difference. If you haven't taken a PSU out of a pc before, its not as hard as it may initially look.

400 is cutting it a bit extremely low, though - considering the build alone (not taking SSD's, etc. in account) takes up at least 350W - and one needs some headroom, besides. 600 will be fine enough, though.
Generally, for myself, I never go below 600 (or even 650), but then again - I like to go overboard on PSU's lol.

Assuming that someone buying a "K" version CPU - is going to attempt (slight) overclocking (why else spend the money on the "K" version).

A relatively new 750w (80+ Gold or better) easily will handle a system with 3x hard drives + 4x SSD, 64GB memory, 40% overclocked I7-3930K 6-core Intel processor and Nvidia GTX 970 video card without breaking a sweat.

That is what I was running on my current Seasonic 750 platinum PSU before I 'downgraded' my system to my current devil's canyon I7-4790K platform to reduce power usage (I really didn't need a monster 4.7Ghz 6-core system since I retired). Max draw from the wall with that at full load was 350w and the psu was converting that at 95% efficiency.

I don't think that system would need any more than a good 500w-600w gold standard PSU.

Poser supplies provide their best efficiency at around 50% capacity. Go much higher or lower than that and your efficiency drops off by as much as 10%. So if the system is pulling about 250w from the mains, you won't want to size the PSU much more than a little over double that. 500/600w would be the sweet spot.

[Mctwattybollox]

Yeah, Im presuming its a Z77 mobo............ 350watts is probably a good estimate.
If it was just to test for a short period 400watts would be fine, it obviously wouldn't be a permanent solution though.

[xXxAurorAxXx]

okie took it apart just now. Its got a cooler master ex2 725w in it. The comps also clean as inside but I gave it a quick dusting and theres no loose wiring all over the place. Its pretty neat inside.

[EaglePhoenix]

Average PSU

All i'm going to say then is: warranty.



But before he goes through the hassle, test the thing out with another PSU or put the thing in another PC. Assuming he knows how.



Edit: Sorry, but can't help myself: just send it back to where it came from - buy (an actual) 600-650W with good ratings, instead. **** like that is just a scam, imho.
