My other post didn't explain well what I need. Short story my Original Seasonic 1600w Prime TX was faulty (Atleast thats the theory). I purchased a Corsair Shift 1200w for inbetween my RMA process. The Corsair PSU worked fine as it seems. Didn't get to test it for too long though. I returned it once I got my replacement from Seasonic it was the Prime TX ATX 3.0 1300w. Just last night my replacement exploded. Or at least a capacitor in it did and now my room smells like burnt chemical hair.
What are the odds of 2 Seasonic PSUs going faulty? Im sure the replacement was a refurbished and maybe repaired one but still.
My surge protector from the wall wasn't tripped so it had to just be the PSU right?
Can my Hardware be causing issues with the Power Supply? Enough so to make one literally explode?
If any one has any theories or advice on what I should do next Id appreciate it. Im already in contact with Seasonic again. I'm sure they will send another replacement. Im going to ask for a non refurbished one this time whole box and everything. I would've already bought another tester PSU for the mean time but none of them will be here sooner than the Seasonic Replacement can be so I don't see the point.
Can I assume this is PSU specific issue? Can a short somewhere else on the PC whether GPU, MOBO or whatever cause a PSU to explode? If this was because my wall outlet my Surge Protector would've caught it right? I think I'm going to replace it anyway but nothing happened with it.
Just trying to figure out if Im just super unlucky in the PSU department or if there is something else I should be looking at. Thank you
