PSU Question - Corsair RM 750x

[cococabana]

Hey guys I have a question that is two tiered. Here you go:

1) The step down transformer (from the mains) in my street blew recently and caused an electricity spike/surge/brownout (idk what its called) in my house. A ceiling fan got absolutely fried, and two modem router adapters got fried as they were connected into the wall. My PC is pretty further down the house and connected to a power strip (it does not have surge protection). Now here's the thing, nothing on the strip appears to be damaged, it had an LCD connected, a Home Theater AVR, a printer, and the PC. All seem to be working fine. The PC was shut down at the time the surge or whatever it was occurred but not physically disconnected from the strip. My question is, can i be 100% sure the PSU is fine? Its a Corsair RM 750x so I assume if it was not fine, it would fail to startup right and it does have all of the OC OV UC UV protection etc? PC seems to be working more or less okay as well.

2) I will be upgrading to the following configuration soon, please let me know if a RM 750x will suffice:

1. Core i9 7820k
2. 32 GB DDR4 RAM
3. 2x SSD and 2x HDD
4. 3-4 Lighting fans
5. Asrock Taichi X299 Motherboard
6. MSI GTX 1080 Ti Lightning (has three power connectors)
7. Corsair Hydro 100i v2 Radiator

or do I need to upgrade my PSU?

Cheers, 😀

1) well if the machine was off at the time of the surge then yes it should be fine
1a) it highlights the need for a surge protection power strip not too expensive

2) I cannot see any reason why it would not be sufficient for that build if it feels that you want to get a new one
PSU Tier list tier 1-2 are good for gaming

I would recommend an EVGA SuperNova Gold G2 / or new G3 /GS / GQ, Platinum P2 / PS, or Titanium T2 or a Seasonic M12-II Evo or S12-II

GOOD PSU EVGA is a B2, G2, G3, P2, GS, PS, or T2. Avoid the EVGA B1 and G1 series/ I bought a EVGA G3 with 7year garentee

1) The PC itself was off (shutdown) yes, but the computer was still connected to the strip and that to the wall. The hard switch on the PSU was in the on position as well. So its all good?

2) Ah okay. I thought the Corsair RM 750x WAS a good tier1/2 PSU 🙁 I bought it on the recommendation of folks here. And if its good enough - i would like to roll with it.

I should think it would be fine as it was not running from my engineering experience.
