Are you running a GPU as well?


I ran a similar build as yours, with a GTX 1080. I wrote about some of my troubleshooting in the S4M thread, not sure if you've seen them.

  • When I first put my build together, and experienced system restarts. Most folks here claim that my Dell AC adapter (purchased from Amazon) was faulty, so I order a genuine one from Dell directly.
  • While waiting for the genuine Dell, I limited power limit to my GTX1080 down to 50%, and was able to run games.
  • I received my 2nd Dell adapter, and PC was still restarting.
  • Purchased a HP Voodoo 330w AC adapter, PC still restarting.
  • Finally emailed HDPLEX, and worked with Larry to troubleshoot the HDPLEX 400w DC-ATX.
  • I get impatient, so I purchased a HDPLEX 160w DC-ATX to power the CPU with its own Dell brick. The 400w DC-ATX was powered by my second Dell brick. The two DC-ATXs are synced with a PSU spliiter cable. I was able to pack all these into the S4M.
  • As I said, I'm impatient, so I Also purchased the KMPKT Dynamo Mini 160 and 360 combo from SFFLABs, and had the PC running successfully.
  • Received replacement HDPLEX 400w DC-ATX. Everything runs fine now.
