Last night my 8 month old Corsair TX850M made a loud pop, tripped the power in my house and is now dead. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to have taken anything else into the afterlife with it.
Ironically, it was the first PSU in over 20 years of building PCs that I've spent more than about £30 on and the first PSU I've ever had die on me!
I've just had a look at the fuse in the plug supplied with it (it's not from OCUK btw) and to my surprise it's a 13A fuse. Is that normal? All PSUs I've had in that past have come with 3A or 5A fused plugs.
Can anyone recommend a good, reliable, replacement in the 750-850W range on a budget of around £100?
PC spec is:
i7 8700K @4.8
16GB 3000MHz DDR4
GTX1080
2x SSD
2x SATA HDDs
1x SATA DVDRW
7 USB devices inc Oculus Rift
