Hot Stuff!!

[Cupra]

Satusing my pc today could smell burning, you know that electrical burning smell so I opend the side of my case to see if it was from my pc or outside as I have the door open

OMG!! smoke bellowed out loads of it, I pulled the psu wire out and started to investigate..

After finding the yellow wire of 3 my new yate loons melted i saw the problem, my Revoltec uv cathode had caused all the problem

look at this

Now I have 6 of these cathodes and I am going to have to take them all out as that could have been my whole rig up in smoke

the worst of it is i never have my rig on all night,but last night for the first time i left it on downloading top gear.
whilst installing my new e6850 I realised the cathode was switched off so I switched it on.

never again

now i need to rewire 3 bloody fans grrrrr


edit: some Idiots cant understand my typing although i dont fess to be an english teacher or anything i thought id help those who have difficutly with english more than me.

You write terrible English. Have you got an excuse?

i live on the isle of man


no reason why it would do it tbh was on a loop with 3 fans and was the last thing on the loop just crap build quality i expect

I take it that the wire was overloaded, heated up and burnt it'self, as opposed to it sitting against the wire and cooking/melting it.

I'm glad I have no lights in my case

yeah but that was the standard cathode cable, should be fine for that tbh not like it was the first thing in the string of items it was the last.

ohh well you live and learn
