Question Heat sink inside of brand new PSU loose!

[akkarinn]

I bought a RM850x and I when opening the package and lift the psu unit up I hear this metal clanking sound of somewhat, I then find out it's a heat sink loose inside the PSU, it doesn't look like it's actually doing any damage because it's only loose on one end.. (if that makes any sense).

Now... The store I bought it from is closed today on a Saturday and I really want to build the PC and test it out, I could then probably just unplug the PSU and return it later.

Al though I have already contacted Corsair and they want to give me a new one... But since I live in Iceland this is going to take forever..

I'm sure my store will get me a new one no problem.

So use the PSU and wait till store opens to get a new one? Or.. Just wait and be patient? (Like that's possible!) 😀

Wait, don’t use it. If there is something loose and it causes a short who knows what damage will be caused. A psu failure/issues can damage the parts the psu is connected too. Not worth the risk.

Thanks for the fast reply. But you know that feeling when you have a brand new i9 9900k and rtx2080 ti build you just want to check if it works...

Conclusion: Not taking the risk of using this PSU. Thanks!
