Addition: Earlier I wrote that I got a defective block, but everything turned out to be much more interesting. After the refund, I purchased an EVGA GQ 850W PSU (210-GQ-0850-V2). And with him there was a similar problem that I described below, but with one difference. The video card still hit the peak in temperature, but no longer dropped the frequencies (everything works fine with the old block), then it became clear that the problem was not in the blocks, but in the video card. Breaking through a bunch of different forums, I never found the answer, but the great poke method helped. I will not torment, the problem was in connecting the video card. The video card has 2 connectors 8 pin and 6 pin. I always connected them with separate cables, that is, each cable into its own connector, and everything worked wonderfully. But this did not work with the new ones. The new blocks had splitters at the ends of the video card cables, I did not use them so that the load on each cable was less, which led to all the troubles. As a result, I decided to do the most banal thing, connect the video card to one cable with two connectors and WOW! The video card started working normally. Bottom line: I have an INNO3D GeForce GTX 1080 ichill x3 and it has a feature, it will consume as much as it can give a PSU over 12v lines, 300 watts means it will gobble up 300 watts. By connecting it through one cable, we thereby limited the power that the block gives to the video card, respectively, less consumption and less heating. Old comment: Unfortunately, I got a defective block. I understand that a marriage can come across from any manufacturer, but for such a price I counted on more stringent quality control. The essence of the marriage was that the unit simply boiled the video card. In idle, everything is fine, but when at least a small, but prolonged load is applied to the video card, it almost immediately hits a peak in temperature and throttles until the computer is turned off. There is no such problem with the old Chieftec APS-850CB. The system at its peak consumes no more than 450-500 watts, so there should not be a problem with a lack of power.
