Hi my name is Sergio, I'm from Mexico City
3 years ago I bought this PSU for my build and it worked great all this time.
Sadly my PSU burst really hard today, emitting sparkles, a really loud noise and a smell of burnt plastic. My PC was connected to a 900VA UPS along with my Modem. My Monitor and Speakers were connected to a surge protector and both the surge protector and UPS were connected to the same duplex power outlet, I mean both on their corresponding outlets. My monitor, my speakers and Modem are ok.
I immediately took out my 2 SSDs and an external HDD I had plugged in and tested them on an old computer I had lying around (the one I'm using now) and they are ok, all my files are still there. Does this mean that there's a small chance that the rest of my components could be ok?.
I checked the PSU cables, and they don't seem to be melted or burnt. I tried to smell the GPU and CPU they don't smell but I guess that doesn't mean anything.
I actually started having a shut down issue with this PC during the past year. But I thought they were power outages because the UPS also turned off emitting a small alarm, power outages are very common here where I live. But I'm almost certain they not every shut down I had was a power outage, there was something wrong with my UPS or the PSU, but I don't know.
I didn't have any overclocking going on, I wasn't even gaming I was watching some videos and checking my facebook.
What do you think?, is there a glimmer of hope that somehow my PSU protected my components and died on its own?.
If you need more info please don't hesitate to ask.
Thank you!.
