I have an R6 with 7 drives in it, an hba, a couple of nvmes and an 11500 with stock cooler. 6 case fans, most plugged into a powered fan header and nothing else should be drawing power. Power comes in through a small ups.

The psu is a 650w gold evga. I did some rough calculations and even assigning 200w to the drives I figured I had a bunch of headroom.

So I added a few new bits and pieces I harvested elsewhere - another nvme, a small fan for the hba, another drive and an old 1060 3gb.

I still thought Id have plenty of headroom, but after plugging everything in and starting up everything began ok then flickered and reset.

Ok, whoops. Must be too much? Pulled out the 1060 and everything started up and stayed on, but now the webui isnt loading and Im super worried ive fried something. I have to pull a bunch of managed cables out to get a monitor connected so need to wait until tomorrow to dig it all out.

In the meantime;

• is it likely ive overdone the power draw with the 1060 plugged in?
• if so, can overdoing it like this fry components? Is it LIKELY to have fried components or would that be pretty freakishly unlucky?
• anyone have similar stories with nice soothing endings about everything being ok?
