Possibly a brief undervolt condition that's not enough to trip the power supply but enough to keep VRMs from firing up properly and the chips error out because they're taking slightly too long to initialize. The 380 probably isn't nearly as busy inside as the big guys (likely active PFC and a bunch of other mess) so it might have better output capacitors since there's likely more room for them. I'd try the capacitors-wedged-in-the-6pin trick and see if that helps smooth things out.
Otherwise, really no idea why it might work on a low-end PSU but not a big sexy one.

Yeah it's a funny one. The capacitors did fix my other issue with the Cubes tripping the Seasonic's breaker, but it only seems to work with one Cube at a time, i could not get it to work with two cubes attached. I am going to RMA it. Not worth the hassle.
I did try the trick with the capicator on this particular cube, but it still has the xxxxxxxxx's. I will try it with the thermaltake, next time it crashed and reverts to xxxxxxxx's (it working now and I dont want to take it offline)
Thanks for all your help with the Seasonic. It was very educational!
Hi babaji.ca, do you have a photo or diagram to show how to put in a capacitor for Seasonic X750 PSU ? I had the same issues with the cube tripping the my PSU when I power on.
A picture tells a thousand word.
TIA.
Sorry no more pictures. I have RMA'ed that PS. Just too much drama. I found some corsair GS 800's (same like dogie linked to in the OP) on sale today for $65.00. I grabbed three of them 2400 watts combined. All for less than what the seasonic 1050w unit cost. Going to put two of them into service. Also gonna return the thermaltake 850 watt unit that cost 150$. Will keep one GS 'in inventory' for 'future expansion'. The price was just too good to pass by.
As for how to do the capacitor trick. I also wanted pictures, but I got some word help from dmcdad and sidehack go back to post #192 of this thread and start reading from there for some help on how to do it.
