HELP! what is the equivalent to an AX760 corsair power supply

GUVENAR · 3 Sep 2020 at 21:43

Hi
My PC has suddenly started to turn itself on and immediately off randomly. Can anyone advise if this problem is due to my power supply ? My power supply is a Corsair AX760. If this turns out its my power supply what would be the equivalent to replace as they do not make the AX760 anymore, obviously

Many thanks in advance.

should have had 10 yr warranty on that model if I recall or 7

Plan A is to open the case and brush all the fluff and dust out of the fans, fins and filters (including the one on the power supply). I use a smallish paint brush.

Edit, the above applies to turning itself off randomly. Turning itself on randomly is random indeed

Yeah worth seeing if there is warranty as you could get it replaced.

Check its not a power button issue

They should be good to help, I had an AX650 which failed, which was replaced then with an AX860i which then had a fan failure, which was then replaced with a HX1000i I believe. All under warranty.

Aye, Corsair just straight swap PSUs . Distribution UK side as well so doesn't have to come from EU. Then broken ones are repaired and sold as B-stock etc

I think I had to return mine to Netherlands, but this was a few years ago and was because I opted to go fo the advanced shipment. The second time it was UK based as I had already purchased a new PSU.

I might be miss remembering though
