Dear tom's hardware community
I would like to ask for advice on what should I do regarding my power supply (PSU) problem. First and foremost, the brand of my PSU is PCbang which is a Korean brand, it is a 600w PSU(those are the only informations I could get so far since everything else is written in Hangul.) I had been using the said PSU for 14 months as of writing this thread, within that period of time I went through 3 different power cords since all of them melted due to intense amount of heat produced by one of the three prongs at the back of the psu where you plug the power cord.
■ Is the PSU defective? If yes, should I buy a new one or is a repairable problem?
■ Would buying a higher quality cord fix this problem?(perhaps it will be able to tolerate higher temperature)
Thank you!
