why the fuck do my lights flicker when this is at full power draw
>>110190608you have a noisy cheap PSU
the NSA spyware uses a lot of power
>>110191189alternately, you have cheap Chinese LED lights with poor drivers.
>>110190608check your outlet and breaker connections bro you might be homeless soon
>>110191215that's Mossad
>>110190608You probably have a short somewhere in your wiring. If you are a europoor it is probably because you live in a dilapidated commie block. If you are American is is because your dilapidated mobile home was built in the 70s.
>>110192232Same thing
>>110190608Because your house wiring is shit. Hire an electrician before the winter comes if you ever use any space heaters. That's a fire waiting to happen.
>>110190608that is not the 5090 lmao. never had lights flicker try the thermalprotect corsair 12VHPWR cable its only 25 brand new
op here this is my home wiring btw
oh you mean house lights, yea it takes nearly as much as an ac unit
>>110190608cause it uses lots of power retard
>>110192667An AC unit will draw several times more amps on startup
>>110190608Do you ground, nigga?
>>110190608Aliens are trying to contact you.

>>110190608Very bad wiring in your house I guess. That uses up to 600W, which is a lot for a graphics card but not that much as far as electrical appliances go. Even with a 5090 your entire PC probably draws <1kW, if a load that small makes your lights flicker I'd legit worry about something catching fire somewhere. A load that small shouldn't cause such a big voltage drop that it's visible in terms of light brightness, if it does that suggests you have a bad contact somewhere or some very, very thin and very under-spec wires. Either of those could end up overheating / melting / catching on fire.
>>110192622NTA but are there more surefire signs of this sort of thing?
>>110190608are you one of those 3rd worlders living in a mud hut who owns a modern-ish pc?
>>110193297>surefireheh
>>110193447Are you my mommy?
>>110193297outlets, switches, junction boxes, or walls that get hot are probably the best tell. you can pick up a thermal imaging device and look for hot spots around the house while running a space heater or something large on the circuit.power quality tests require pretty expensive gear that only an electrician or hobbyist would have. if you have a decent multimeter (no $5 chinese shit) you can do a basic test to make sure you're at least getting the expected voltage. an analog multimeter can see voltage fluctuation due to line noise, digital typically cannot.

>>110192844You don't need that pin. It don't fit in the outlet? Cut it off.
