Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 7, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 7, 2008 Are the PSUs working for any amount of time before failing, or do they fail right away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be the motherboard, or even the power in your home thats causing the PSUs to fail, so its really hard to say for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper07uk Posted October 10, 2008 Author Share Posted October 10, 2008 i do think it was the fan becase when the fan is pluged in the psu pops when its swich on but since ive had the 3rd psu and ddisconnect the fan no popping which can only be a good thing lol. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
