about the PSU

[RolandoL]

I recently posted some issues with my Cooler Master GX650 PSU.
after open the psu I noticed the fan was stuck by the its power wire. It seems the psu's heatsink was overheating with no dissipation and the board anti-surge protection shuts down the PC.
after I noticed that, I just set all in the right position into the psu and the board didn't rebooted anymore in 4 days.
Yesterday I switched the fan speed controller (in the case) to the high speed and Oops!!
the anti-surge protection of the board rebooted the PC and shows off the same message
"Anti-surge protection ...... preventing damages caused by a unstable Power Supply"
maybe the fans demanded more power to move faster and the psu couldn't handle it?
the case usb3.0 ports doesn't work when i plug portable hdds, but it works with pendrives. (lack of power?)
the case top mounted hdd docking doesn't work neither (lack of power?)

I calculated the wattage with a web tool. And the results shows me that I just need about 300W, But my psu has 650W.
Most comments from you guys were focused in replace the psu. I can do it right now, but I don't want to throw into the garbage a possible useful psu.
if it is damaged is obvious that I am going to replace it.
Any tips or advice?
thanks a lot.
Roland.

Wattage does not matter, voltage regulation matters, and you need to replace your low quality power supply with one that won't possibly harm or damage your hardware. Asus anti-surge means your power supply has an unstable voltage output, and ignoring the problem won't fix it. You need to replace it.
