Simon2985 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Hello, I have upgraded my pc to the spec in the drop down list above. Inicially I had a 500watt psu powering it. When playing games this psu generally tended to overheat and shut the computer off. I was told to get a new psu and after much discussion settled on the corsair 650 (noted in the drop down list too). After a few months however this psu exploded (no damage I can tell to any other componants thankfully). I sent my psu off to and got a brand new one in return. Now my question is, will the 650watt psu be able to power my computer so that I can use it to its full potencial (max settings on games), or do I need a more powerful one? I ask as I am a little concerned about the same thing happening again. It was never explained why the other psu exploded. Thanks for your help, Simon.

Simon2985 Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 When I pressed the power button on the front of the computer, there was a bang and a white flash from the psu. Upon closer inspection there was also a burning smell coming from the psu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
