Amazing!

Rma both! Or just rma the card and get a new psu, if there is one thing you don't go cheap on it's the psu!

Very unlucky though, hope you get it sorted soon!

To be fair this thread isn't really going to convince people to rush out and buy crap line PSU's

Haha, very true. But still.

Also it looks well dodgy his build, im gona guess he isnt very experienced building pcs and it was user error at some point in the internals.

As someone mentioned. Why did you use the pci-e extension cables when the psu already had the cables? Btw what was the full spec of the build? Im curious.

All depends if you want your PC to make toast.

Your lucky it was just the graphic card,could have easily fried the mb/cpu

You want a good quality power supply like a seasonic or rebranded xfx unit

This just show you how important a decent branded PSU is.

Nelly · 6 Oct 2012 at 21:36

Oh my !! that PSU was £79.99 ?? that's a disgusting piece of crap! lol

Get yourself a decent one from OcUK...

I thought No competitor mentions. Thank you. was a holiday camp "HI DE HI "

Awwww the GTX590 had a child

Nelly · 6 Oct 2012 at 22:22

Seriously, I would get trading standards involved, they shoudn't be allowed to sell PSU's like that, it's disgusting.

BluSky · 6 Oct 2012 at 22:27

Could have turned out a lot worse. Replace the PSU with something like the new seasonic X series.

shayneoc · 6 Oct 2012 at 22:32

So its the PSU ye guys reckon ye?

No competitor links. Thank you.

Quality PSU, should provide clean low-ripple voltage

Amazed that you was actually recording this, I do wonder why you would record it? also why all the cables? it should be connected with the 6 pin pci-e and 8 pin pci-e from the power supply(if that is what connectors are on the gpu).

I recorded it cis it cept doing this so I thought ill ask!!!
And also the first time it went on flames I thought the card had real 3D effects lol

OptimaLnrg · 6 Oct 2012 at 22:58

also just watching again.. was that card fully inserted into the pci-e slot? it moved quite a bit.
