After usually around 5 minutes, the computer just shuts off. I thought it was the PSU, so I got a new Dark power 13 1kw PSU and the problem remains. I’m not convinced yet that it’s the hardware but rather something I’m doing wrong in the bios.
After ~12 hours of stress testing, a bios reflash, and OS reinstall, it’s working great now. I don’t know exactly what the problem was, but I can now recreate it if I raise the Turbo Power Limit. Even numbers as low as 270watts (with good temperatures) will cause it to crash exactly like i described in my original post.

Ek nucleus 360. Temps are fine.when underclocked, I had it down to 60c under load and it still crashes.
I have mine undercooked to 1.15v, 5.5GHz/4.5GHz. I have my power limit set to the default which I think is 253 and I get 36k.
The Intel extreme overclocking utility is pretty nice. Overclocking in bios is stil recommend, but the readouts of watts, thermal throttling, etc are really nice features.

Other people have said they are having no problem pulling 400 watts from the mobo I have. It’s still possible that my mobo is the issue. I ran hardware info to record a couple times and didn’t see any voltage drops before the crash. Should I expect to?
