Suggest change mainboard. keep CPU and RAM, just ensure well compatible with LSI ( I like Asus ), not cost too much.

So even with the PSU changed it still had issues. i had to run it a few days on my desktop system because i didn't have a spare.

I noticed that even at 500Watts from my desktop system which has no 5V devices plugged in. something a bit odd.

The Fan on the PSU doesn't spin at all, and it was so hot you couldn't touch the PSU case.

 

Likely part of the problem. The new HX750i is now in place.

PCI-X slot 1 is also not happy i see errors if i have the HBA in that slot.

 

So i've put the HBA in the second slot.

Likely the power supply has damaged other parts on the system, likely the motherboard.

 

When the new processors come out 9700k's, ill get a new motherboard/cpu/memory for my desktop.

 

Move my current desktop Z170A Xpower MSI Board, 6700k and DDR4 memory over to the Unraid Server and sell off the old parts online. Someone who has a spare motherboard can work out if its memory, cpu or motherboard thats faulty here.

 

6.5.3 is stable, the system really hates 6.6.X if i do an upgrade it comes apart.

I am assuming it has something to do with the overall hardware issue i can't fix without changing things out.

 

Unfortunately for now an old hardware means i'd have to buy more stuff to test it and that just doesn't seem practical since it will be second hand likely given the age of the platform.

 

I am happy with the peak load when i run a parity check on the 5V rail i was expecting a bit higher than what i got.

Well under the 25A's, but at least i can monitor this on a VM from now on. rule out that whole drama as well.

 

Ah ... seems you found / got several problem happen in same time.

 

Well, good PSU and readings.

I have read several time but not quite fully understand, do you mean the PSU which serve in Unraid, if running in desktop have above problem.

But you said you have contact Cosair and seems have some replacement, anyway it doesn't matter as such long story ..... if PSU in high temperature and FAN still off that must fault.

Yeah Corsair are sending a replacement and then i post back the RM850 when i get it, but i didnt want to leave it that long.

So i went and got a HX750i, didn't want to leave the RM850 on my desktop too long otherwise who knows if it will fry that motherboard as well.
