PSU dying or not enough power?

jonathanbruce · 24 Feb 2015 at 14:42

Hello there. Now I'm not sure about this. I have an OCZ 600w Modular PSU in my PC rig. (AMD FX8350, 8gb 2133 DDR, Radeon R9-270x, PCIe Plextor 256Gb, Samsung 512gb 840 EVO, Corsair SP120 (Red) x4 )
I am planning to AIO the CPU this year sometime but in my moving the system into a new case (Corsair Obsidian D750) I have now noticed that only one rail (plug) now works. When I use an extra one I just doesn't boot up for long, maybe 1/2 sec then it goes off. I have tried moving the plug to other ports and no such luck at all. Is this a potential problem ? Maybe I need a new PSU. I am looking at maybe a semi-modular or NON modular 750watt, what's everyones opinion on this ?

I would appreciate any feedback given, as always.

Regards
Jonathan

It could well be the PSU is on its way out as you should have no issues with powering that rig.

What's your budget?

no more than £90 really. I have other components to get i.e. External BluRay and card reader.

What about these two? 1... Corsair Builder Series CX 750W V2 '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply (CP-9020015-UK) I don't think it's modular. 2.. .Corsair Builder Series CX 750W Modular '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply (CP-9020061-UK)

I'd avoid both they are low-end of Corsair PSUs, this Seasonic will be way better

Thanks. My only concern is if the cable being long enough for my case, Corsair 750D Obsidian

dacads · 25 Feb 2015 at 15:25

Then you can buy an extension cable

I now have more budget ! Got a card reader for less than I thought.
I can spend unto £110 on a better PSU.
