Hiya all,
Yes this is my first new build, i built a p4 rig along time ago but i dont count that as technology has moved on quite a bit since then.
As soon as i posted on here last night i went straight to the corsair site where i found the "paper clip" test advice. It didnt work so my Psu deffinately had bit the bullet after only 2 days of ownership and about 2 hours use.
On a positive note, i can say with out doubt that Ebuyer's customer service is very good. I put through a RMA using my account in ebuyer, which was very easy indeed, then i was told to call a number. Called it, and they said send it back (and they would cover postage) and we will send you out a replacement. Thing is that the process all in would of taken over a week. So i asked for a refund and have purchased another one in the meantime which should be turning up tomorrow.
I also asked Ebuyers customer service: if any of my other parts have bit the bullet as a result of the "dodgy" Psu what do i do? he said "simple, just package them back up and we will get them replaced."
However, i REALLY hope nothing else got damaged in the process as then we would be talking weeks to get it all sorted out.
Cheers and Regards
Storm
