Am i missing the joke here? ...... are u saying my PSU old? or am i over stressing it? was told it should be OK, for what its running, i can only upgrade a bit at a time and if it works for now that will do me

hope i haven't been ridiculed I'm sure thats not aloud here, all I'm asking is for your advise if u so wish to give, anything ells should be left unsaid

As always any advise help welcome Webb

Thanks VonScar for the input but isn't the CX400 a 400w PSU? mine 600w i don't care what it looks like ..... i can see mine might not be best for airflow but i think thats minimal at most apart from ascetics whats wrong with my PSU? .......

altho did need to use lots of Sata adapters hidden in cable management
 
If you overstress a cheap **** psu then it could go kablooey!! And fuse all your components together that is why the corsair is better, it may only be a 400w but it's waaaay less likely to blow up.

Ive had PSU die on me before but never herd of one that has fused all components together ? wouldn't the surge protection trip the power ? ...... anyway not wanting to temp fate and go kablooey!! i decided to upgrade the PSU

I've been a bit out of the loop when it comes to pc parts, but I recently saw a new brand - BitFenix and their cases look so gorgeous especially the survivor core.

got my new PSU already currently rebuilding all OK so far except for two niggles

1, Sata power connectors are upside down ? forcing me to wire from top down ? meaning cant put cable, in cable management ?

2, the 8 pin +12 volt MB connector splits in two to make two four pins but hand book Say's quote "detach the four pin connector from the eight pin cable, and then plug the correct 4 pin directly to your MB" ...... but which one ? also above cable isn't long enough to plug in directly will have to use extension :(

both four pins have black and yellow wires orientated correctly and are identical bar one has " II " and the other " H " but the hand book doesn't say which is correct one ? can i use either ?

as always any help advice welcome Webb
 
plugged it into the " H " one in the end because the " II " one plugged into that figured that the main one ....... anyway worked :D

now if i could just get windows to boot but thats a hole new thread ;)
