Hey all,

Hope you're well.

So just had a power cut, the moment it happened I rushed to the power supply to turn the switch off.

My PC is plugged into a power surge extension cable. 3090 is also undervolted and the PC is on Power Saving mode.

Are there any tests or things to look out for?

With a surge protector, you don't need to worry, it blocks any surges that occur during a power outage.

There's nothing you need to do, don't turn off the surge protector though next time, just let it do it's thing.

Hey Spyder,

Sorry I meant I turned off the power supply of the PC, the power surge extension cable was not touched!
