PSU went POP

[tinkerbell]

title says it all, brand new Corsair 750 HX smoked at first, so i disconnected it from all the components, and removed it from the case, re-connected it the main (with nothing attached) then POP, dead brand spanking new Corsair 750 HX. but i have my other one, a thermaltake, which has lasted me for a good 3 years, so gonna fit that instead. im just hoping that it hasnt frazzled any of my components.

 

 

 

i will be back hopefully later on today

well corsair has a pretty good warrenty, so i wouldn't be too worried, but test each component separately so you dont fry anything else if one part did get a jolt

A Thermaltake outliving a Corsair?! What is this, I don't even.

 

All experences I have had with a Thermaltake is that it usually has died before my Corsairs. But good thing Corsair has wonderful warranties usually,

Real bad luck :/

no hardware failure, back on my beast, but windows is playing up and one of my hdd's is whining when it spins up, so might need to investigate first, dont want to install windows AGAIN!!

made sure nothing else got fried, as soon as it started to smoke, i swithed it off, and took the psu right out of my case and then switched it on with nothing connected, then it went pop

"no hardware failure... but my hard drive is fucked up" lol..

 

sure it works, but you might as well replace that hard drive while you're at it.

 

and don't sweat it. corsair's power supplies are top notch, so they'll either break within a month, or at the end of their life.

BACKUP THAT HDD! I've heard those symptoms once before and it was right before a head crash, there's no recovering from that one.

 

As far as the corsair dying... that's almost unheard of. To be honest it sounds like a true hardware fault, possibly an internal short or a bad cap that slipped through QA. That your computer didnt die from a DC spike is probably a testament to corsair's engineering. Anyway send it in for a warranty, they've got 5years.

No, it smoked first the I ( my slef) disconnected it from the computer , then "tested it" psu only, nothing connected,. not lucky, SAFE!!!!!!!!!!

imo if my hardware was burning then popped a circuit and was still under warranty I'd RMA that sucker in a heartbeat.
