miwanuma Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Hello all I have a question I have a hx850 and I have fried 2 mobos and 4 gpus. I o not get what is going on. I had my orignal m489gtd and 1 5870, I upgraded from a hx650 to a 850hx a second 5870 and when I hooked it all up nothing a flinch of life and nothing. turns out i fried a mobo and 2 gpus, and a ssd. Got psu swapped out from amazon to a new one and XFX replaced my 2 5870's hooked everything back up and all went well, until I got a new mobo Now Installed new mobo (crosshair iv) put it all back together and again fried mobo and 2 more 5870's. My fans, water pump, work I checked all my standoffs and used gloves and an anti static strap. Waiting on a response from corsair but I bought this psu because of it's reputation I just don't get it some insight... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wired Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Seeing as how this thread has nothing to do with "Forum Rules and General Discussion", it's been moved to the proper location. Sounds like you've swapped out the PSU before, so it can't be that. Define how the parts are "fried". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then all of a sudden no video out from either gpu (tested individually) Fans on gpu run. Happened one month ago also, XFX determined both cards were "faulty" The weird thing was the cards worked fine, then nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 2, 2010 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 2, 2010 Sounds like something is grounding out or shorting, testing the system outside of the case would be where I would start. Get the system up and running with as few components as necessary and then add the components back to the system one at a time to see if you can find a part that is causing a short.
