Question 24-pin cable needs replacing ?

[Ven0m_]

Hello, my Corsair TX650w 80 Gold PSU has broken 2 cables on the header, the small metallic header are wide open than before.

Can an electrician change the whole 24-pin cable or should I replace the whole PSU?
I havehad it for 5 years.

The fan orientation depends on your case. If the PSU is top mounted, the fan should face the inside of your case.

If bottom mounted and the case has an opening on the bottom of the case itself, the fan should face that opening.

If there is no opening on the bottom, then it should face toward the inside of the case.

The RMx 750 is a solid choice.

It's a cooler master k 380 case
It has holes on the seat of the PSU . So the fan should face the floor ?

Yes. See the pictures on the product site. There are dust filters built into the case. Do not sit your case directly on carpet. Make sure on a hard surface for improved airflow.

Installed all the cables pc doesn't turn all at all like there is not PSU

Probably it's faulty I suppose......

Alright I fixed it I didn't put the type 4 cable

The bottom side of the pc case doesn't have filter anymore cuz I lost it should I place the PSU fan looking upwards to GPU ? Or still at the floor?

Either way is fine. Will likely be cleaner facing up in this situation.

I am gonna smash my pc not monitor says no signal

Make sure your memory is properly seated.

Make sure your memory is properly seated.

Already tried that
GPU fans are working perfectly
:/

 

[COLGeek]

Make sure your PCIe power cable is firmly attached to the PSU and the GPU.

 

[COLGeek]

Also, make sure you only use the cables that came with the new PSU and don't re-use any from the old PSU (if it was modular).

 

[Ven0m_]

Nothing at all. What is going on?

 

[COLGeek]

Double check all connections, including any PCIe cards installed in the motherboard. It is common to flex the motherboard when installing a new PSU causing such issues.

No luck friend.

I can hear the sound of the windows when you are on the login screen you know
So it's not ram
If it was ram or mobo or CPU it wouldn't even boot there
Right?
Might the GPU is not compatible with PSU? Don't think so but it's a 2017 made GPU
Amd Radeon 570 dragon with 3 fans 4gb

Problem fixed:
Its second or third time that the GPU is not recognised by mobo?
Cuz I got a VGA red light static after pressing the power button for some secs

I tried 3 times to remove GPU cables etc and in every time I remove it I tried to brush the GPU slot that clicks with the GPU and now it's working like there was a garbage there or dust somehow dunno
Anyway

Sounds like a GPU/display issue if you are hearing Windows sounds. Is your GPU properly attached to your display?

When does the PSU fan start spinning? Cuz I am watching my pc and the PSU fan doesn't spin at all

When it gets warm enough. Likely need to put under a heavy load to get it going.

When you first power on, it likely spins then for a few moments.

yes it does.
i know is not related to PSU but how do you guys display pc temps while gaming?
i will try MSI Afterburner what do you think?

I don't do this. Don't see the point.

Afterburner can certainly do for you.

I've put quite a few PC's together. To check thermal application i run Intel Burn Test for a couple of runs. It's a quick way of testing and i also check memory stability while im at it by increasing memory amount a fair bit in the program, about 4GB from maximum.

If temps are good in IBT you don't need to worry about games.
