Hi all,
I just got the replcement psu today(jeantech 1000w modular,very good one,gr8 reviews etc) after the first one died after only 2 months...and after only 2 hours of use..this one has died aswell...??!?!?
i have an e8500 and a 4870x2 which this psu should easily be able to handle. i noticed that one fo the cores on the 4870x2 wasnt working properly,i assumed as google hinted at that this was drivers problems(my mobo can be a bit fussy with its pci lanes too sometimes depending on how far ive oclcoked the fsb etc)...
anyway,the damned psu died on me,again..so i thought,wtf,ill try my old 700w easycool pile of cack,and though it got v hot and didnt like it at all,i still managed to use the pc for a good hour or so ...(i had too blown a decent 700w psu whilst waiting for the rma last week,which previously had managed 2 8800gts in sli fine...i turned on the pc,and the thing died there and then)...
to put it bluntly..i simply dont belive that 2 high quality,brand new psu's with 1000w(quad rails 80% effieicny)should be the sole culprits here.. is it possible to anyones knowledge that a gpu can,for some reason or another go nuts and draw way to much power?wouldnt that blow the gpu then??
the jeantech 1000w was working beautifully for 2 months,pc was faster etc etc..and then this...what possible explanation could there be(ie help
!).. i dont know whether or not i should ask for a refund(i got a very good deal from a powerseller on ebay,he has so far been kind enough to replace the one,but i think 2 will be pushing it,and if the 3rd went,he'd rightly tell to go abuse myself) or buy another brand...something tells me that something is damaging the psu though,and i can only think that it must be the 4870x2?? is that possible?
