I just picked up an RTX 2080 Ti, and I'm using it with a DeepCool DA600 power supply. Lately, I've been experiencing crashes, especially when I ramp up the graphics settings in games like Resident Evil 4 or the Pragmata demo. I think it might be due to insufficient voltage since I'm only using one PCIe cable and daisy chaining it. Any advice on troubleshooting this would be greatly appreciated!

Have you checked your temperatures while gaming? Sometimes overheating can also lead to shutdowns. If your graphics card is hitting around 70°C, that's not too bad, but if it spikes higher under load, that could be an issue too. You might want to get some better cooling going on as well.
Definitely sounds like it's time for a new power supply. Upgrading it could save you from future headaches. Just make sure to get one that's well-rated and has enough wattage for your setup.
Honestly, the DeepCool DA600 is pretty low on the quality scale—it's rated E tier, which means it's not exactly reliable. A weak power supply can definitely lead to crashes, especially with high-end components like your GPU. You might want to consider upgrading to a more reputable power supply for better stability.
That's concerning to hear, I hope it's not causing damage! What PSU would you recommend?
I’ll keep an eye on that, thanks for the tip!
