Sutt0wnz Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I recently noticed that the power warning light was flashing on my GPU (GTX 1070 gigabyte g1). It only flashes under load though (gaming or gpu stress test) I have a HX1000i power supply so I connected it via corsair link and noticed that when gaming the 12V reading is dropping down to 10.6 - 10.8V so im guessing this is the reason for the flashing power warning light. It sits at 11.8V idle and the light doesn't flash. When I run a cpu stress test however it stays pretty stable at 11.8V, so is the gpu the problem? I've begun the process of RMAing the PSU and just wanted to confirm its what I should be doing. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Are you using a single pig-tailed cable or do you have 2 separate cables running to the GPU? Perhaps try 2 separate cables? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutt0wnz Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 My GPU only takes 1 8pin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Hmmm ... I would create a support ticket. That really shouldn't be happening; a 1000W PSU should handle that GPU without even blinking an eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees Corsair Mint Posted November 28, 2018 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 28, 2018 Agreed, definitely go through with the RMA just in case. We usually only allow for a 5% over/under for the rail outputs, so if you'd dropping to ~10v, that's of concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
