[SOLVED] PSU overheating

[Roii3]

I bought my new PSU in jaunary this year its RPC 600w peak power 560w and i use it for my RX470 and AMD RYZEN 3 3200g SSD 240gb
I worked perfectly, but 3 days ago PSU started emiting some weird noises and got back to normal i tought nothing of it bc it was for about 12 seconds but day after that my PC started shuting down and booting back up right away It happend 2 times aproximetly when i took it serious
When that happens weird smells comes out of PSU
Im monitoring my fans and CPU and GPU everything is perfect as it was
BTW my PSU fan if facing downwards at the CPU

BTW my PSU fan if facing downwards at the CPU

which means it takes all the heat from CPU
PSUs these days have one big fan and they are positioned at bottom of case and they have really low operating temperatures
old cases where PSU is placed at top used small fan at back psu side

its not like you cant use modern psu with big fan inside retro pc case, but high power drain will make them run outside of theirs operating temperatures, which drains their life
am not even talking yet about your poor psu choice selection
but if psu is acting up, u will need to replace it, and if you want to make your next psu survive gaming, replacing pc case is advised

This garbage thing?

It don't surprise me it's dead.
How did you connect the PCI-e connector for the GPU because the PSU have none!

remove side panel or keep PSU outside, that should drop temperature
but its not safe to keep using it, if it started melting

RPC 60020LA should be his PSU

I just now ordered new PSU with new pc case Pc case is FALCON sentinel and power supply is Falcon FGC-750W

RPC 560 OOC

Makes no difference, it's a poor unit. And the one you've just ordered, got a link to it? Because that doesn't sound promising either.

And molex to PCI-e or sata?

Falcon FGC-750W

You make the same mistake again by buying another bad PSU.

[John Chesterfield]

Rubbish, it's a 540W power supply and the manufacturer is lying calling it a 750w.
