Hi everyone.
I've been having bad luck with Power Supplies lately. My Seasonic Focus+ Gold exploded last week. I bought a new one, (XPG Core Reactor) it arrived today and when I opened the box I immediately got a musty smell and found mold on the cable bag.
And that's just part of it, most of the bag was covered with it.
I tried to inspect the unit and found what it appears to be rust... or maybe is just soldering paste. My first reaction was to just clean the bag. But then I thought, is it possible for mold to go inside the Power supply too?.
I won't connect this thing to my PC, I think I should return it, what do you guys think?.
Thanks.
