  1. sounds like a cable issue only way to know for sure is trying to recreate the problem some how, if the issue come back and pulling the cable out fixes again i would try another PCIE cable or EPS12 cable which ever is the one on GPU/CPU 1.
  2. I received a Refurb AX860i for temporary use till new ax860i's are in. This ax860i has the same problem. Would you be able to get word from your buddies at corsair on maybe what lot codes would be affected on both the AX760i and AX860i. here is my post with pictures of the 860i with the damaged substrate. http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=185101
  3. Jonny did you get a chance to open a AX760i yet? I firmly believe this issue effects AX860i PSUs as well. After talking to a tech he said it should have been revised in later batches.
  4. Well i can give you the lot code of my PSU you did say that you might open an AX760i, If the AX760i are based on the same design as the AX860i maybe the small number of failures that people are having are from the screws they are using and how thick the case's PSU mounting plate is. I will definitely be checking the New PSU they send me before i mount it, and if need be i can cut the screws to avoid this problem
  5. Is it possible that once Corsair receives my RMAd PSU that they can look it over and tell me if the screws are the cause? The Shipment went to <USA RMA Depot> and arrived on friday. I know you dont work for corsair but you seem close nit with them.
  6. The pcb board is right there, it’s way easier to see in person but that is what I’m touching with the cut end of toothpick in the second picture
  7. I would have posted these last night i just didn't want to upset anyone for filling this topic with pictures. When i first installed this PSU One screw seemed to not tighten all the way down but i didn't force it cause i didn't want to strip the threads, i thought maybe the hole hadn't been tapped fully. Had no idea that it was touching the circuit board. it ran like this for a more than 5 years. A week ago i started having issues, it started randomly shutting down till it wouldn't power up anymore. I unplugged all modular cables and tried to use the test button no lights and no fan spin up, i then pulled the unit out and tried to test it outside the case. this time i got a green light for a few seconds then it went out same for the fan, i was still holding the test button when the light and fan would turn back off. I reinstalled the unit and tried the testing again. I noticed it wouldn't give the green light if i had the screws in. Even though it was giving me the Green led for a few seconds i still could not get the unit to post the system,I even tried the paper clip test. I looked closely at all the screw holes and noticed that the screw i was having issues with not tightening down was chafing the circuit board. I checked the depth of the screw hole with a cut toothpick I then marked the toothpick with a sharp black pen. I compared the screw to the depth gauge toothpick. Here is a picture of the screw fully bottomed out I could almost fit the toothpick between the psu and the head of the screw, the case im using is the Vengance C70 and the sheet metal its made of is less than the thickness of the toothpick. I have RMA the PSU and it should be arriving at the RMA center on friday, I have included three of the four original screws that came with the AX760i. I had to use the fourth screw on the temporary CX750M because i dropped one of the screws that came with the new/temp PSU and couldnt find it. On a side note the CX PSU i purchased, the screws are exactly the same length as the AXi ones.
  8. After looking over my AX760i that just recently failed i would say some of the screws you are shipping with the PSUs are already too long and i have picture for proof if any one wants them.
