PC Rewire... Ish.

LiamC · 29 Mar 2009 at 16:32

Well, i decided to remove my TX650w and fit my older Toughpower 750W.

Removing the TX was a Real pain. It was cable tied to the max.

Start Off.

Some rather pointless cable ties ( Thanks OcUk

)

Heres some dust bunnies - All removed !

This bit annoyed me

. The Rear fan on the Antec 900 - and here's the wire for it. Why did Ocuk tuck it behind the motherbaord?

Anyway, i decided just to cut the wires but now the Top 120mm fan has stopped too, so i guess they were connected together.

Anyway, My blu ray player went pop when i powered it back up. Don't know why but thats £70 ish down the drain.

Anyway, Thats my sunday over.

I am sorry about your lost

Will you be selling your psu?

LiamC · 29 Mar 2009 at 16:37

Well i have no other use for it ( My Old machine wont be getting used ) - So i guess so.

Theguy · 29 Mar 2009 at 16:39

instead of cutting the wire, why didnt you just unscrew the motherboard? - its abit like closing the barndoor after the horse has buggered off but still...

Can't see how you blew your BluRay drive I'd be gutted if I was you. How long have you had your rig that is a lot of dust I have very little after a year.

More hassle than it was worth.

Me Neither - I think it was because it was a Molex - SATA power instead of the SATA cord straight from the PSU.

Had the PC for 3-4 months.

Why were you swapping PSUs?

LiamC · 29 Mar 2009 at 17:00

I was bored, and the toughpower is better than the TX650. So i decided why not. :cool:

Pretty much lol. However i still have a HD DVD ROM so not all is lost.

mjones1 · 29 Mar 2009 at 17:27

Send back the blu-ray drive drive then

LiamC · 29 Mar 2009 at 17:28

Good point actually. I didn't think about that. Surely its still under warrenty..

I may just do that :cool:

I wouldn't say it's through any fault of your own that it blew up. I've had it happen on a few occasions when using both molex connectors and PSU SATA connectors.

Is the Toughpower any better than the Corsair, I dont really follow the PSU world but I thought the Corsair ones were pretty good.
