Hi,
I have assembled gaming rig. Lately I have purchased a new monitor as well. When I was choosing an SMPS last year, I wanted to choose corsair, as my old SMPS is a 7 years old 450 volts, which is still working fine. But I forced to choose Cooler Master this time which is 600 - 650 volts, cuz of the stupid shop keeper who kept forcing and convincing me to buy it instead of Corsair, as Corsair was not available in his shop. The very minute I purchased the SMPS and opened, the build quality looked so cheap compared to my old Corsair, even the price was same. I knew I should have gone for 600 - 650 volts Corsair. Apart from that within 6 days of purchase the smps fan started to make noise, so had to take it to the service center, where they provided me replacement with a new one. Exactly 1 year has been passed on the SMPS. Now what I feel is the cooler master SMPS has gone bad again. I have new hardware inside the computer tower (motherboard, mem, gpu), I am afraid I don't want to fry it up! As its just 2 months old hardware. When ever I go to work, I switch of the power button and remove the cable from the wall (a practice which helps me survive monsoon and storms). Today morning I noticed this weird thing. I put the power cable into the sockets, switch on the power socket on the wall. Baaam suddenly the chasis ventilator fan started to rotate, even before the power button on the tower was pressed. So is the SMPS throwing unnecessary power? Is that SMPS gone bad again?
I still have the old Corsair SMPS in spare, but that's only 450 volts. My current cooler master is 600 - 650 volts. Please advice!
