Hello Overclockers Forum,
My CORSAIR RM SERIES RM850 850W '80 PLUS GOLD' MODULAR POWER SUPPLY (CP-9020196-UK) Caught Fire. I walked into my office and the room was full of white smoke. As I could not see flames I guessed it was an electrical fire. I managed to turn off the power to the room and opened all of the windows and the smoke cleared after a couple of minutes. I have the PC completely disconnected and on the floor. I located the source of the fire by smell as the PSU reeks of burning plastic.
If I hadn't gone into that room for the rest of the day I don't know what could have happened.
Is there a known fault with this powersupply?
I upgraded it a year ago because my old one a KOLINK KL-600 600W '80 PLUS BRONZE' POWER SUPPLY didn't have the Wattage to comfortably power my new 3080.
The PC has been running completely fine for the year that I have had it, until now.
Kind of in shock. But happy the fire didn't spread.
