Do each of the PCI-E cable has its own rail on the PSU? Did you get the Zotac Trinity or another model? It's about the same size as my 3090, and it's not that much bigger than the 1080ti, so maybe to 3070 was tiny.
Good luck and keep us posted!

Yes, my PSU has 4 rails for VGA and I have 3 of them connected. I got an ASUS 4080 Super TUF card to replace my Asus 3080 TUF. It's probably 3" or 4" longer than my 3080. It fits my case fine (fractal design cases are awesome). I have absolutely no idea why it won't post. I also don't remember what code 00 is for my motherboard but it's likely power related. Quite honestly, I'm not impressed with the adapter anyway. Having a single 12v power cable makes way more sense. I just want to get the darn thing up and running again so I can test it out. And of course tomorrow I won't have any time at all to watch anything. Figures.

Oh yeah the ASUS 4080 TUF is a monster, no way I could fit this in my case (Silverstone Grandia GD-07B, same as the original Envy). Especially the height/length. The Zotac was my only option. With the power cable disconnected, make sure the GPU is seated correctly. It's so heavy that it might be causing an issue. Mine came with an adaptor but as the case is horizontal I didn't need it. You might even want to try another slot if you can.
I really don't think it has anything to do with the PSU or the adaptor if you have three 8-pin cables coming from three separate rails on an 850W PSU. I also have an X570 and a 5950X and I never draw more than 500W from the wall, so you should be fine with the 850W.

Yes it is a monster card. I have it laying down right now to alleviate weight issues (it has a cute little stick that supposedly will hold the rear end of the thing in place. That will be problematic in my case if I need it. I can't use another slot though. This thing takes up 3 slots. It really is huge.
I actually think it's the adapter. I did a little research on the ones that nViidia makes and they absolutely SUCK quality wise. It looks like people have had issues with the adapter shifting, not seating properly, etc etc. The Corsair I got is another 850. I have a 5950x, as well with 2 nvme SSD's and a water block for the CPU. I'm not drawing a lot of power, either. I mean the 3080 never had an issue even when cranking in games. I don't love having 3 VGA power cables running through the case anyway. Swapping those out for 1 12V power cable will make cable management nice, and I'll be ready for any future upgrades I may want to do. They don't change PSU designs all that often. I may toss the 3080 back in just to make sure I didn't break anything else while trying to mount that thing.

Looks like something on the machine has died. I hope not the CPU but that is possible. This is why I hate messing with perfectly working machines and why I tend to replace everything all at once when I do. So yea, now I have no HTPC. Fantastic.

Sorry to hear that. I hope you'll sort it out.
