Yah, its my other 1200w psu, 30 inch monitor, sounds system, accessories and crap running off the same circuit that causes the trip. When I turned all those things off, everyhting was fine. But I don't wanna turn all those things off so

Word.. having a second PC running while benching is essential.

In my case its usually some podunk piece of crap... but it gets me to the bot to compare benches mid run

The hard part in starting any of these Cascades is not running, but starting them up, huge draw of power when you kick those bad boys on.

I very well might have 20amp fuses, I will have to look. I know my old house would not have been able to run the Cascade, some pretty old wiring inside that old house.

Anyone know if its cool to just change teh breaker from 15a to 20a?

why can't i use my AWG12 extensions? i bet these cables are better that whats in my walls. also active PFC compensates for the losses.

also you can't change your breaker to 20A if they were originally 15A..if you have weak cables in the walls...you'll heat those up easily. breakers are there to limit the current draw out of them.
