So my PSU fizzled and died last night

Gonna order a new one with next day, ship the Corsair HX520 off for RMA then sell it once I get it back. Luckily it has 5 year warrenty and I bought it in 07

Take a look at my rig specs and could you guys suggest me any nice reasonable priced PSU?

Thanks.

Ordered the 650w, cheers.

I've been tempted to buy one to match my case but can't see the point as my current psu hasn't broke yet lol

Got it today, plugged it in and a green light appeared and it started smoking. I hate power supplies. Kill me now. I can't live without my PC, I mean i'm on my brothers laptop but still nothing is mine on it, I miss my games

Something wrong with your mains or another component? If not, you have insanely bad luck.

Probably bad luck, this week has been extremely shit for me, just want the weekend to come.

Ok, getting a refund on the NZXT PSU, Scan have a Corsair HX650w going for £94 (http://www.scan.co.uk/products/650w...bronze-85-eff-sli-crossfire-eps-12v-120mm-fan)

I had a HX520w which served me very well, so should I get the NZXT or the Corsair? Even though I already had one NZXT blow up on me on day one

I have a suspicion you have a short somewhere.

 

[Brooksie]

Gonna rebuild my PC when I get a new PSU, yet I don't believe it's a short as I haven't touched my PC for a while.

 

[alienware]

Might not be but I find it truly odd that you had one go bang and then the next one went bang as soon as you plugged it in. I mean sure it could be bad luck but it just seems a bit coincidental mate.

Sorry you're having crap though, really sucks when things like that happen
