My PSU burned

[Deividas_5]

Hello guys,

My PSU SPIRE ATX 600Z just burned... It is because he couldnt handle my CPU and GPU? I have Fx-8350 and GTX 960 2Gb. I hope my GPU and CPU did not get hurt? What PSU do you suggest for me to buy? Thanks

Here's a PSU tier list to help you choose: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
Aim for a Tier two, preferably Tier one if you can afford it.

I prefer Seasonic PSUs. For you, i'd suggest either a:
Seasonic S12II-620 (80+ Bronze, fully wired, tier two)
specs: https://seasonic.com/product/s12ii-620/
Or
Seasonic X-650 (80+ Gold, fully modular, tier one)
specs: https://seasonic.com/product/x-650/

As far as your GPU and CPU goes, you can't test if they work without a PSU.
Hope for the best but be prepared for the worst.

Thanks for suggestions. Could it be that PSU damaged other parts? If I test it with 350W PSU? Could it handle to run CPU? I can change GPU to older whitch it can run

If PSU dies, it can take your whole system with it, not just GPU and CPU. Basically everything that has power in them.

You can test your system with 350W PSU. Just don't do any gaming or benchmarking that puts your PC under the stress and thus consuming more power than your 350W PSU could handle.

I've just tested with 350W PSU. My PC starts working, but I just connected CPU plus CPU fan is working, does it mean CPU is fine?

Did you boot up your PC or did you just checked if CPU cooler is working?

To check if the whole system works, just connect everything and boot up.
