My Core i5, RX 480 PC rebooting when starting game, looks like PSU is culprit

^^So how did you connect it without splitting it apart.

I think there's some miscommunication. I didn't have any problem connecting one of the 4 pin. Cause they can be split.
I was saying that two 4 pin 'cables' are joined in a very strange way, such that it's not easy to take one apart from one, thereby negatively impacting cable management. Look at the image again.

Two wires from each 4 lane cable are splitted into both 4 pin plugs.

Pls change the cabinet too if you can. Top psu is never a good idea.

Now what's wrong with that? If it's just aesthetic and not performance then I care less.

Oh right. I guess there's a lot to learn. They don't make cases with such enhancements, for no reason, now do they?

Isn't there an opening at the top of your cabinet? What make case is that?

That's Cooler Master Elite 310. And no there isn't an opening on top. It is an old model.

Why don't you make one if you don't want to upgrade now. You can take help of Rakesh Sir.

Dust. If I drill holes in cabinet, I would be inviting more dust. So no thanks. I am ok until I can afford a good case with proper vents and filters and ability to install fans properly.

Make a hole upwards and maybe idk install a fan. Ask Rakesh ji for guidance.

Ok Thanks. Who is this Rakesh Ji btw?

It's an intake fan. It will intake the hot air from the other components and exhaust it from back. If it is placed in the bottom with a bottom vent it will intake cold air from bottom and its cooling will function completely isolated from the rest of the PC. Other than cooling the weight of the PSU is a problem if top mounted.

How is this PSU's weight compared to CX?

I see,in latest CX series this cable is not like TX series & you can only split apart the connector portion so if you connect the one 4pin plug the other 4 pin plug will be just at its side with no separation in cable at all(as it is in yours TX model).

It was like that in my CX series CX430V2. But in TX650M, a modular PSU, I wasn't expecting that in this.
