My new PC build has been freezing frequently when under heavy load, mostly when rendering models in Redshift which uses both GPUs (full build below). When I disable my second GPU, the freezes do not happen anymore. Especially considering how power-hungry the 3090 is (and this PC has two of them), this leads me to believe that the issue is with the power draw, but I could be wrong. The motherboard's instruction manual recommends for dual GPU builds to connect a supplementary PCIe Power Connector cable from the power supply to the motherboard, but I'm having trouble finding the correct cable. Any help is greatly appreciated.
