[SOLVED] Blown psu fuse?

[UltimateChadProtox]

Hello. I accidentally plugged my psu into 220v socket. I heard a big pop. Burnt smell no smoke no fire. Can I test the PSU by plugging it in the normal socket or is that risky. I doubt other parts are affected

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

What is the make and model of the PSU? Does the PSU have a selector switch for the voltage input? Where are you located and you should be having access to a fused cord or cable for the PSU.

Thank you. The pc is prebuilt from Ibuypower so I have zero idea. There is a switch between 115 and 220v. I'm in north America.

It's dead. It needed replaced anyway, a voltage selector is a good sign it was an ancient design and the fact ibuypower used it ,it was likely very very cheap(they are infamous for skimping on the PSU). There is a possibility other parts were damaged, those cheap old designs can take out parts when they pop.

Any way to check? If other parts are gone then I'm kinda *

I have never seen a PSU survive being plugged into 220 when switched to 110. Might be possible to fix with the proper skills but given the PSU's age it's not worth it.

To check everything else you will need a functioning PSU.

I got
Gtx 1060 phoenix - i5 8400 - 16gb ram. My friend offered me an EVGA supernova 650gm. It will work right?

It'll work, but the GM is a SFX PSU so if the case is ATX you'll need an adapter plate if you want to use it long term.

I assume atx means small? This is my PC's specifications https://www.bestbuy.com/site/ibuypo...gb-1tb-hdd-gray-black/6289104.p?skuId=6289104

EVGA GT 650 is a no brainer for 50 bucks.

So should I get it? I have zero idea if my case is atx or big idk. Can you check? I left best buy link above. It said that the size was standard

So it's only four years old and yet it has a PSU in it from 1995? Did you buy it second hand? Because even iBuyPower wouldn't put a PSU that cheap in it.

Yeah.. definitely replace the PSU.

Your case is ATX. The EVGA GT will definitely work/fit.

I would guess you could remove the power supply, open it up, and see something burned. Most likely it won't be a fuse. Btw, don't touch anything inside of the power supply since there could potentially be capacitors which are still charged (highly unlikely in this case, but not impossible).

ATX is the normal/most widely used desktop form factor(your case is ATX), SFX is smaller and has different mounting holes. You can use an SFX psu in an ATX case but it requires a mounting adapter.

As mentioned above the GT will also work.
