lowdog don't trust software readings

pull out a DMM and check for sure

why are you worried about the 3.3v rail

it's the 12v and 5v that are important as far as i know

lowdog

@ Dinos, yeah, 12V and 5V are fine so no worries.

Here are other cases of the same issue I had with the unit on a cold boot: http://forum.thermaltake.com/viewtop...er=asc&start=0

@ wazzer96 check ^ that link out.

Now I'm sure this has nothing to do with a case short etc.

lowdog

Still undecided if I'll keep this TT or exchange it for the SS DA850.

Just worried about how I have to get it to start after a cold boot - hold down the power button for 5 secs then hit it again to get it to run

Once it's running it seems fine. May loop 3DM06 for an hour or two to see if it shuts down or not.

I was editing while you guys were posting - re read my post.
Yeah, having to do what is normally a "forced boot" on a system is kinda crazy.
Try just one half of 8 pin +12V ----- single 4 pin cluster only
Try NO 4 or 8 pin. Remember - your PSU needs no "help"
Try switching Mode 1 or 2, if your bios has it.

Note in your link that the 'paperclip trick" WORKS on the PSU, meaning it is the way the PSU relates to BIOS and +5VSB

You have no sig, so I dont know your systems, but didnt some P965 P35 have bios related cold boot issues that required fixes?

lowdog

Don't think bios has mode 1 or 2 for boot up

System is:

Q6600 @ 3.2GHz - 1.29V/3.6GHz - 1.4V depending - water cooled with D-Tek Fuzion
Asus P5K-Premium
8GB Corsair XMS2 - 4 x 2GB sticks
8800 Ultra water cooled
Swiftech MCP655 pump
4 x WD 150GB Raptors in 2 raid0 arrays dualboot win xp and vista 64bit.
dvdburner
Soundblaster X-fi Extreme Gamer
4 x 120mm fans on rad and 2 x 120mm case fans

Boot into bios once and setting failsafe defaults, then F10-yes, then try booting full with just button push. This was the fix for P965 cold boot issue. Its kind of a reset.

Just what is your mobo?

my friend believes he solved the problem. Although it sounds strange, he went ahead and disable the System Fan Fail Warning, because he doesn't have the system fan connected to the mobo, but direct with molex from psu instead.

So disabling these the system fan warning, and power fan warning, seems to have fixed it. As he is no longer experiencing the problem.

Please try and let me know if that solved it. It would be a very helpful for others as well, if we found the problem.
===================

So, set all fan @ 100%
Disable all fan warning
Disable all auto fan rpm stuff
