Solved it. Virtual box was installed and was causing the KP! So that’s fixed. Now onto the next NEW issue (which isn’t really new apparently, I’ll explain)
So my machine is running a Sapphire Vega64 Nitro+ and a 10980XE. For the most part it’s fine and is serving me quite well. I decided that because I video edit so much and I DJ professionally (events and syndicated on radio) that I should start a YouTube channel (not spamming, it’s related- keep reading)
- haven’t even posted a video yet, and soon you’ll know why lol
So I picked up a Panasonic GH5 Mark II so I can shoot in 6K 4:3 anamorphic and then crop in to 16:9 4K. Footage looks fantastic, but for a lot of it, I want to key out a green screen. So I brought my clip into Final Cut X- added the key, then…… the machine randomly reboots.
Added a wattage meter to my power plug, I’m drawing just over 600W from the wall when doing this (was using a Corsair 850 TX PSU). Then it reboots.
Opened the computer, ran 2 separate 8 pin power connectors to the GPU. Still did it. Went and purchased a Seasonic PX-1300 (1300W Platinum power supply)- it behaves a lot better, but it still does it (just not as often). Also running 2 separate 4 pin PCIE cables. Sidenote, when I hit around 500W this PSU starts clicking a little- Seasonic and I are going to work this out, but it may be normal operation. Also plugged into a Tripp-Lite power bar with isolated filter banks so I don’t think it’s a clean vs dirty power issue.
Because it’s a hard shutoff, the last shutdown reason in terminal is reporting a 5 (normal shutdown) as it’s not a KP I can’t figure this out- which may led me to cooling. I set my shutdown temp to 84 (using a Corsair h150i Pro RGB- the older one) and I’m starting to wonder if it’s not cutting it.
Next step, I purchased an Arctic Cooling Liquid Freezer II (420mm) AIO last week and am going to attempt to install it on Sunday.
Did I miss anything? I’m wondering if I’m having tunnel vision and if there’s a way simpler approach to fixing this that I’m completely missing.
I can edit 4K ProRes 4444 with absolutely no issue rendering with the GPU and transcoding with the CPU and do it for around 8-9 hours a day and the machine is solid. It just freaks out when I add any major effects on those 6K clips. Do I need to maybe down clock my GPU?
According to istat menus I never see the Vega 64 go above 50 Celsius unless that reading is wrong.
The other reason I bought the Arctic winter is to solve the serious throttling of my CPU when I’m running MP4 encodes for my work. This thing will throttle me down to an average of 3 GHz and sometimes as low as 2.6 - 2.8.
Any thoughts? Sorry for the novel!
