I was gonna call that out too. I was reading an article about the new rtx 3k series and under powering them. Looks like it has the potential to be physically bad for them, not just performance issues.
Is your PSU modular or have a second 8 pin?
Once I get my computer in we gotta all play games together, set up our own freesk8 gaming server!

Greetings, been awhile since I’ve updated. Here’s what I’m working on recently! Evolving a friend’s Evolve, aha.
The board already had a 10s4p 30Q built with the evolve BMS. But sometimes it cuts out and when it gets pushed. I guess I found the issue.
So I took it all apart and rebuilt it from scratch
I’m also using a Xenith and a pair of 6355s. Would make a decent upgrade.

Have you tried putting the lid back on it?
Those carbons are incredibly tight dude, I generally run the balance wires down the centre of the pack so they sit in the W concave of the lid.
I have seen upgraded cgts that have rubbed through the balance wires and shorted the whole pack as a result of misplaced balance wires.
At a minimum, make sure you cover the balance leads with fishpaper.

I plan to put a layer of fishpaper on the lid, and then a layer of 1mm craft foam over it.

Not exactly. I used my origami skillz and folded a paper box with baking wax paper as a one time mold. Then used a bandsaw and sander to get it flat and accurate to size.
