Hi,
Thursday night, sat watching TV and I heard a crackling noise coming from the computer. Ran over, switched off sockets just after the machine rebooted. Tried to boot up, nothing.
Unplugged all cables, pulled the computer out of the corner, and noticed a brown tint above the PSU. With the room being lit I missed the firework display. When I opened up the case, I could smell burning.
Nice.
Unfortunately I have lost the receipt for the PSU and I think I bought it from OCUK, they don't have order history from what I can see so it looks like there wouldnt be much point in attempting to RMA it. I don't know if Tagan would take it back, I don't know if they have been making the 2Force for 3 years, if not, then it can't possibly be out of its 36 month warrenty/garrentee period.
It's the 2force 520w model, and if I can't get an RMA/free replacement, I'm consdiering the exact same model as a replacement but the Modular one.![]()
It is currently limping along on a 380w PSU which is undervolting so a new PSU is needed soon....so opinions on a new power supply then, I've got about £70-80 to spend, full system spec below.
3700+ @ 2.7GHz
1GB Corsair Value Select
A8N SLI Deluxe

1x200GB drive

Usually 4 or more USB devices plugged in at once
Thanks.
