Update on the render PC
Added 2019-05-31 10:57:53 +0000 UTCHey guys,
as mentioned I had some issues with the render PC. So today I brought in a new 1300W psu, plugged it in, started the pc and it immediately shut down with a burning smell.
Cause I am an idiot, I turned it on again and one of the cards literally went up in flames :O
Turns out the issue was either in one of the 980ti's, or the PCI-E extender I am using. Anyway, I took the card out and it all works fine, hopefully I won't get any more issues.
I was able to render the Diner for Three scene, just need to put in the sound and I'll be releasing it on Sunday as usual.

Oh I could just stick into the computer and see if it still runs, but I don't want to risk it. It is EVGA, but sending it for diagnosis is probably not worth the effort. The extenders are powered and should be pretty good.

Right now I really don't want to test if it was faulty card or extender, but if I smell it, it's the card smelling bad, not the extender, so I assume it was the card?
