i5460
r9 380
2memory ddr3 - 4gb
ASRock 1150 B85M Pro3 (motherboard)
ATX Midi Tower gaming dragon 3 (pc case)

i had Thermaltake TR2 S PSU 700W for 1 year and 4 days ago it went in shock.
Actually before this i had a problem with the pc, first i had no monitor signal so i cmos it and i even removed the battery for 5min then the pc started to go in infinite reboot. After checking all component's i find that my third memory ddr3 corsair 4gb that was in default was missing 3 teeth sow i just set in another memory in the slot.
After that i went into a gaming session, 5h after i was in overwatch and the pc said f-it and went off, 30 sec after i heard a shock boom and a electric wave behind the pc in the multi socket and the psu was dead. (the hole house electricity turned off)

i plug in a 180w psu from an old pc (with out hd,gc etc...) and was booting sow i both a psu 600w (vultech... it was cheep like 15€ but i had no other options in the city) it ddnt had 2 6pin for the gpu sow went on csgo with internal gpu (120fps sow was good) and 2 days after the cable to make two 6 spins out of 1 arrived. Plug in and everything went fine untill i went on a pubg session and after 2h i heard a noise inside the pc sow i rip the socket out of the wall for safety and guess what, the psu was dead.

1. The gpu was hot as hell
2. psu was hot as hell
3. psu fan was facing up
4. cables are behind the moba sow are not damaging anything
Now Corsair VS550 is coming in 2 days.
Do you guys think it was cuz of the gpu or moba?
If the moba had something in the memory socket then why it ddnt froze the 600w or 180w psu's.

I need some help, i don't want to destroy this third psu
ps: sorry for my bad english

(i'm using 180w psu just for watching movies. with out gpu and stuff i only need 170w and this psu is a countinues sow no problems there)

To me it sounds like a chain of coincidence, that thermaltake blowing is no surprise at all and the 180 W psu surviving even for a moment was amazing.

Really you only have one PSU failure here, the second one was wayyyyyy overburdened.

I doubt there's a serious issue with the PC, just a blown PSU.

That

psu 600w (vultech... it was cheep like 15€

plus that

the cable to make two 6 spins out of 1 arrived.

usually means PSU goes to hell when putting heavy load on it (and PUBG is heavy load no doubt).

And I would not use Corsair VS either. Get something better instead.

Everybody told me corsair was one of the best . +12 V, constant 550w and 80+ certified...

Not the VS.....

That is their lowest quality PSU they make and NOT for your type of system.

Min recommended for yours would be the TX550M.

Corsair, just like almost any manufacturer, makes good models and not-so-good models. VS line belongs to the latter, along with old (green) CX and CXM.

Using the cheap PSU with the system when that one blew it may have caused damage to other components. VS models are mostly made for basic systems, they are not very good with keeping a stable voltage to high power systems. Better than the real cheap ones, but not so good for a system with good parts.

You don't buy a good car then buy cheap tires that will make you crash in a corner or braking right?

Best thing to do is return the VS, don't even open it and get the TXM.
