Everything was okay when i shut down the system last night but this morning i switched on the pc and pop/flash from the psu?? Haven't a clue what caused it but not a nice smell from the back of the psu :confused:
Anyway using my little old laptop now but need to buy a new psu, anyone recommend a new psu to run my system spec (in sign) want it to be pretty future proof and carry a good warranty has i'm sure this psu that just blew is only just over 12 mths old.
Will be upgrading my gfx soon to a 2900xt or 8000gtx so need a psu that runs these okay to.
One other thing could i be looking at any damage to other parts on my system due to this psu failure?
 
Oh boy, didn't need to hear that it could have took other components out with it :mad:
Regarding the 5 yr warranty isn't that sending back to the usa though which would cost a bit of money?

I also had this psu in mind which is more expensive but will i need this

Enermax Infiniti 720W EIN720AWT ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU

£109.99
£129.24 inc VAT


What warranty does the above carry?
 
i would definatly check other componments, my dads computer at work psu went 'pop' and took the mobo and everything on it with it :p

good job it was a £250 dell though lol.
 
Went for the corsair 620w in the end, can't check components until i get a new psu, fingers crossed no damage...

Will update tomorrow when hopefully the new psu will arrive (paid for saturday delivery, can't wait until tuesday due to the bank holiday).
 
Well it looks like I won't find out today if any other damage occurred.
I paid for a Saturday delivery and was up this morning from 7am working on my car on the drive.
Came to 1.45pm and thought surely it should have been delivered by now so went on the city link site and guess what.... it says attempted delivery but no answer and taken back to base, what a load of rubbish no courier has been today and no card was left unless of course the guy was invisible and walked pass me on the drive and the card has vanished I’m guessing the driver is a liar.
Now have to wait until after the bank holiday for the psu to be delivered (I hope) this is not on and I hope OC help me on this matter, I paid £18.25 for a service I haven't received... :mad:

Yep the yd o lie, we use them at work and basically you dont get then you dont pay.

Oh and im sure they do some kind of doubleyour money back if they dont deliver in time:)

I bet OC didn't tell you about that did they :cool:

I've had that as well :(
Waited all day for door bell with no luck, and at around 4.30 it showed on their web site as failed delivery - card left.

I was furious as that was not true! I rang them and they asked me what sort of door do I have.
I'm guessing they have to write that on a failed delivery card, but half glazed covers a few.

Guy at branch apologized, and drove out that evening at 8PM to deliver it.
 
Well I finally received the psu today at 16.30 (thought it wasn't going to arrive again) all fitted with the system up and running again with no problems, very impressed by the quality of the psu and so quiet.

Just chasing up a refund now for the failed saturday delivery..

Thanks for your replies folks :)
