deadpan420 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I had a power supply blow on me a few weeks ago, Corsair were very quick on replacing the TX850, thanks for that. Now next week I'll be rebuilding the old rig, AMD 965 black, 16gig of ddr3, 2x4890'sATi and an asus HDAV1.3 slim, now I know I'm getting ahead of myself BUT if of any of these components are broken, who do I contact, most things are out of warranty and were working perfectly before the PSU blew. I'm hoping nothings broken but I'm thinking 'what if'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I'm not sure you can do anything about it now. Those components should have been tested as soon as the PSU blew. Then you could have requested a damage claim form with your RMA. About the best advice I can offer is to get your components tested as soon as possible and contact CS if there is any issues. I just think you waited too long to be able to do anything about it now since your RMA claim has been processed and closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadpan420 Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Damn, I'm just a hobby builder, I didn't have a spare power supply to test the other pieces.....ah well you learn from your mistakes. Thanks for taking time out to respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Sure, no problem. If your previous PSU just died, i really think your other components are just fine. Most of the time a PSU just dies a quiet painless death and any over current protection should have kicked in to prevent damage to your other components. Now if it went up in smoke and you have burnt cables or connectors that would be another story. If by chance you do have damaged components you could try calling CS and explain the situation.

deadpan420 Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Anyway I'll have to get a new case, another corsair purchase, I won't buy anything else case wise. So I'll probably update sometime next week and let you know. Thanks man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadpan420 Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 Well the power supply came (yay) and there's a case on its way. It's coming from Germany so I'll have a to wait a few days. Hopefully I'll update soon, I've had to hide all the parts anyway, I've had my girlfriends 4 year old daughter staying the past few days. How much energy do kids have? :D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
