| Faulty Corsair PSU? Hi, bought a Corsair HX1000 psu last september and now it has started to get very hot when under load due to the fan no longer speeding up when under load. Has anyone else had this problem and I don't have the psu box at the moment, can it still be returned to scan? Thanks. |

 And yes, RMA it... Clickys: Post Counts and Other Rewards, Rules, Folding@Home, Fans: Push vs Pull vs Push-Pull, Corsair PSU OEMs. What it means to be fully human is to strive to live by ideas and ideals And not to measure your life by what you've attained in terms of your desires but Those small moments of integrity, compassion, rationality... because in the end, the only way that we can measure the significance of our own lives Is by valuing the lives of others |
