  1. Intro: After having to do an RMA on my Seasonic S12II-520Bronze a couple years back due to coil whine, my PSU has become faulty once again. But instead of coil whine, it just straight up failed. I went through the entire checklist and after that resulted in nothing I disconnectd my PSU and connected an old one to the motherboard and CPU. Turns out, my PSU is faulty and Seasonic does not accept another RMA because the warranty of the first PSU is over. Question: So my question is: Can I replace my S12II-520Bronze with the EMINENT EM3900 I have laying around or is it too risky because of its age or some other problem? This PSU was salvaged from an old but beefy desktop with high end components at the time and supplies 550W (30W more than my faulty one). I checked if the old pc still worked before testing the PSU to my mobo and everything worked, so I'm not affraid that the old PSU is bad. I'm just questioning it's reliability. I have attached images of my faulty (Seasonic) and possible replacement (EMINENT) PSU. My specs: i7-5800k with AIO, Gigabyte GTX 1070 and MSI x99s GAMING 7 motherboard. Thanks in advance!
  2. When I stopped the fan the sound didn't stop. It sounds exactly like this Seasonic S12II 620.
  3. I bought a second hand pc a couple of days ago and I'm noticing a crackle coming from my PSU. Do I need to be worried about it? I've added an audio fragment. The PSU is a Seasonic S12II-520Bronze. Thanks in advance, Olivier WhatsApp Audio 2018-07-19 at 20.18.30.mp4
  4. Hello, I've recenently bought an Echo Dot and I've used it for things like turning my pc on through IFTT and turning my lights on via switches I bought on aliexpress. For my next project I want to controll my rollercurtains (see picture). The problem is that I have no idea what elektronics I should use. I want to spend a maximum of €30,- to controll my roller curtains. I only have a little experience programming games, but nothing elektronic. I have soldered before and I have people that can help me do the soldering. I also would like to use an raspberry pi zero w for this project because it's cheap and I can always salvage it for another project. My questions are: What elektronics should I use? And does anyone have a good tutorial on how I can fit everyting together and program it? (I live in the Netherlands and English is my second language)
  5. Thanks for the advise :). But is there a way to do this without moving a finger?
