when mine went after a new graphics card was installed - it was slightly less dramatic. There was a load of smoke and some hissing (+ smoke alarm noise) and that was it. Fuse blew,
My PSU is burning in my PC right now, it's smelling at least. Should I take it off? I'm downloading a 2Gig file for Friday. It must finish, but I'm afraid my PC will burn. It has no fan. The ambient temp here is ~27 degrees Celsius.
@cheetawolf: what does a bad fan have to do with corrupted files? And all he/she did was take the power supply out of the computer, take the top off, plug it in, and drop a little water on it. No computer was destroyed.
What do you mean, fans put in power supplies like that are $4 a piece.
Nice vid tho, that thing shouldn't have existed in the first place. A REAL power supply with short circuit protection would've just shut off. Imagine what one of those things could do to the rest of your computer... It happened to my dad a few years ago, and it fried everything but the mouse. Yes, even the keyboard.
So do yourself a favor and buy a quality power supply.
i thought the capacitor blows up like a popcorn =)

@alex054739 Some of the better ones do, the bad ones will just explode and probably ignite your house.

@finthallon lol, that why you should waste money money on power supply ;p
alex054739 7 months ago
@alex054739 Yeah a power supply is something you really don't want to cheap out on, unless you have a suspiciously high home-insurance.
finthallon 7 months ago
@finthallon I doubt on the insurance part.

That was a seasonic. It was a good psu, looked like about a 350W or so.
Squirrelsteam 2 years ago
Hmm, i have a Seasonic 500W and it's HEAVY and very good quality. When i took it apart to clean the fan it didn't look anything like that inside...
But every manufacturer has their rights and wrongs.
