AX860i and random shutdowns followed by bootloop

[Trillock]

Thanks mate, I will just make do with the USB connected from psu to motherboard.
Yep the HX850i and AX860i are totally different internals. so I suppose the extra cable is supplied just in case needed.
I am not going to fork out some £48 for the Commander thingy, and the Link software shows me what the PSU is up to.
I was just curious.

The CLCC is no longer available and suspect future PSUs will only have USB.

BTW all of AIDA64 + HWiNFO + my SIV utility can also report Corsair PSU information.

Interesting to know....cheers.

Hi,

I bought a new AX860i from Amazon (said Corsair) and in the box it said CERTIFIED REFURBISHED.

My computer runs for 20mins and then shutsdown and goes into very quick bootloops.

I think something is bad with this model and tech, I've seen many people reporting this bootloop issue.
Im buying an Assus PSU instead.

try detaching the 2x12 cable and reattaching it

Same happened to me this morning, yesterday all fine, now want to start pc and it bootloops with clicking sounds.


for 219eu this really sucks, can just better buy a cheap *** psu and it works way better than this piece of junk.

okay, I am having the same issue but I know why. AX860i, worked flawlessly since 2014 ?



Earlier today I turned off OCP in Icue and my system started bootloops.

So I disconnected the usb connection from the PSU and uninstalled icue.

I installed Link instead to check if it works and it does but once I restart my pc and start the Link my pc reboots but here there is no bootlopp since link doesnt start with windows like Icue.

I linked an img of HWInfo pulling data from my PSU and One of the raids is reporting 59amps ?!?!


this isnt correct right ?? because this is during idle status.

When I opened up a game the other PCIe connectors worked properly, they were peaking 15-16amps but the defective connection reporting 59amps stayed.

TLDR:uninstall icue and disconnect ur psu from USB.


Is there a fix to it or is the sensor on my PSU busted ?

I cant turn off OCP anymore because Icue detects the 59amps as over 40Amp limit and rebootloops the pc...

Ok so I powered my PC off, unplugged the mains cable, unplugged all the cables from the PSU and plugged them all back in and turned my pc on and boom, the incorrect reading is now fixed and I can use ICU and Link without my system bootlooping

So is this hardware issue or what ?

[jrcobb1994]

sounds like a cable issue only way to know for sure is trying to recreate the problem some how, if the issue come back and pulling the cable out fixes again i would try another PCIE cable or EPS12 cable which ever is the one on GPU/CPU 1.

[kot0005]

the issue is back btw. I dont have ice installed so its not bootlooping but the current reading shows 59amps again.
