Which powersupplies are considerd long term safe. My friend is cheap af and wants to build a fat gaming rig. He's thinking about getting a 3070, 5600x. To feed that he is planning to get the Cooler Master MWE White 700W V2. It's a pretty cheap powersupply for its wattage so then id like to ask, would it be safe for maybe 8000 hours of use with those specs? Would it be worth it for him to get a better one from maybe corsair or another company or is it just wasting money? Sorry for the bad English, I'm a swedish 15 year old plz help.

Today I was having trouble turning on my 9 year old pc. Every time when I tried to turn on, the pc kept beeping but never turned on except the fans. So, I unplugged the ram and reinstalled it. But then the pc never turned on. No beeping, nothing, even the fan didnt turn on, the PSU didnt turn on. So, I thought, I should unplugged everything. After reinstalling every plug, I turned on my pc by clicking the power button. And it didnt work. so I checked the power switch cable, and the cable was a little loose in the switch. Then I tried to move it a little. And when I gave it power, my psu exploded. I unplugged my system as soon as that happen, removed my PSU. Checked it and saw the fuse is gone, there was a little smoke. Now, is it my casing's fault or my psu's fault? And after the explosion is my mainboard alright? And all of it's components (like cpu, ram, hdd)?

How reliable are modern Gigabyte Power Supplies? I'm looking at upgrading later this year when I plan on upgrading my GPU from a GTX1650 to a RX6800. They are going for a decent enough price in the UK for the 750 watt (P750GM) so I was wondering if they have changed OEM or are doing more testing before they are sold. If anyone knows about it, please let me know. Thank you in advance.

Source - http://www.theverge.com/2017/3/15/14938788/headphones-explosion-airplane-sleeping-woman After the fiasco with the Note 7 and reports of iPhones exploding now we have this - exploding headphones... The incident occurred almost a month ago, but it only now that the media reports on it. The brand of the headphones was not released as, stated in the article, according to the ATSB "it was not really important." Still, no permanent harm was caused to the passenger who was wearing the headphones when they exploded, which is a good thing. Nevertheless, judging by the burn marks on that poor woman's face, they must have been an over the ear kind and resting on her neck and shoulders when the explosion happaned.

So I was looking around anand tech and found this article here saying that Samsung revealed the root cause for the Note 7 battery issues. Here is the link: http://www.anandtech.com/show/11060/samsung-reveals-root-cause-of-galaxy-note7-battery-fires So I`m not completely sure if this is legit but pretty sure it is.

Hi guys, Ive built a new pc recently and have experienced a complication. Parts list: • thermaltake p7 case • Gigabyte aorus motherboard • gigabyte aorus gpu • thermaltake psu 1050 plat • team force ram • thermaltake pacific radiators (allum) • thermaltake pacific fittings • thermalktake resivour D5 pump combo kits • thermaltake petg pipe I think thats all that is relevant, as far as i can tell the only cross metal contamination is the copper fittings and alloy rads. The copper fittings are painted though with no metal exposed. The gpu and cpu both seem to have mostly plastic composition of the waterblock. Ive tried researching what the heat transfer plates are made of and if they are exposed to the coolant but have not made any significant findings. ( if someone knows i would appreciate the info, im guess either nickel or some other material similar) which would add to the cross contamination. So i got the pc built, ive taken my time doing work in small doses checking everything twice and re making anything that does not look 100% On startup no issues, installed windows and away she goes. spent some time installing nividia platform/ updated drivers. Few other bits temp monitors system run down and rgb software (anti rainbow software) ha. Prior i did leak test th system for a few hours with the psu jumped and no power anywhere else, just with distilled water. Three days gaming no issues and excellent performance. Get home from night shift pc will turn on but turns straight back off with a waring stating a leak has been detected, instant panic check every fitting check blocks shine a torch around mobo/ gpu. No issues dry as a whistle. So i google and find out the mobo has a very well know issue to throw false codes. Suggestions to either unplug the rgb/leak detect plug or unscrew then re install leak detect screw. Well i turn the pc off before it shuts down to tired to try the fix so i go to bed thinking it ca wait. Also while this was going on the pc would only boot if the water loop was unplugged from psu, so all fans/rgb/pumps run off two headers. Get up later in the day an elbow has blown off water everywhere on the floor and desk nothing on the pc except small dots of spray that have dried up, very small but also many of them. Fix loop, pc wont boot. I cant remember if it wouldnt boot of the morning but i think it would. So this leads me to think something has been damaged by the water. Mobo or psu. So my partners brother who works in IT and pc repair is coming next week to test components and help me out in general. What im looking for here is an explanation on the pressure build up, i have three theorys in mind so far. • 1 pumps on to high speed. Both were on setting 5 which is 160 litres an hour in my case. • 2 air getting in some how loose fitting ect • 3 mixed metals. Allum copper and possible nickle but all surfaces seem painted or coated. Ive since turned the pump do to setting 2 which is roughly 70-80 lph. Replaced coolant with the stuff i originally bought but was waiting to make sure i was happy with all tube placemnet before using, this stuff has corrosion inhibitors and biocides. Re bent 2 tubes that were maybe a fraction off dead staight onto fitting ao they are now 100%. Ive only been able to run it for 20min since then and seems to have less pressure but is also cold and after a short run time. What did i do wrong guys? Well i know what i did wrong but did it cause the build up of pressure? Photos of the loop, blocks pipes the lot. Of it before and after coolant. Of new glow speed, of fitting that blew. And of the loop in test mode with psu jumped.

Hey guys! So, I bought the S10e back in April 2019, great phone, had it for a year no problems. But about a month ago it...just...blew up. Of course, I contacted Samsung to tell them what happened, the ''robots'' that they have on the phone super professionally read their script offering me to send it to them to review it, which I did. A week after that, they called me to basically offer me to repair it...for 500+ euro, because it's not something that the warranty covers, since it's not a faulty device but ''my fault''. I tried to explain to them that there's no way that anything could've caused this to happen, because it was basically on my desk while I was working, so they took it a second time to review it, again. And just today they called me back to tell me the exact same thing. So now I'm left with all of my stuff that was on the phone, lost, and no replacement because I simply cannot afford to buy a new one at the moment. Don't know what else to do or where to go for help, but figured I'd atleast try to make this known. EaJ9BhRU8AEronq.jfif EaJ9Ab8U0AAb_RD.jfif

After I turn off my pc at night, sometimes after 20-30 mins, 2-3 little 'explosions' sound come from the PSU. At first I thought it was the gpu, but I removed it and got confirmation its the PSU. Sometimes it even does when the PC is on. Is that a bad thing? Is it normal? The PSU is a EVGA G3 850

Original post from CNET: https://www.cnet.com/news/certain-samsung-washing-machines-exploding-report-says/ The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), a government body charged with protecting consumers from the risks associated with defective products, is working with Samsung to address this defect. Read the CPSC's statement below: "The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is actively and cooperatively working with Samsung to address safety issues related to certain top-load washing machines made between March 2011 and April 2016. CPSC is advising consumers to only use the delicate cycle when washing bedding, water-resistant and bulky items. The lower spin speed in the delicate cycle lessens the risk of impact injuries or property damage due to the washing machine becoming dislodged. CPSC and Samsung are working on a remedy for affected consumers that will help ensure that there are no further incidents. We will provide updated information to the public as soon as possible. Consumers can contact Samsung for more information. Consumers should report any incidents to CPSC via our website www.SaferProducts.gov." Good thing I have LG washing machine in my house.

So things started before this post and today, I tried to use it again... It turned on just fine, no hiccups at all. Used it for like 30-40 minutes until suddenly, I see sparks and smoke coming from my PC!!! I rushed to turn off the power supply and unplug it. After opening my case, there was still a bit of smoke, but not sure where from since the Phantom 530 is so well ventilated. After opening the other side panel, I see some burn marks! They wiped clean thankfully, but I see a small area on the motherboard that's scorched. It was right behind the top heat sink, not the CPU fan. After I remove the heat sink to check it out, I see some chips that are totally fried and the heat sink is burnt too. Interestingly, these heat sinks use thermal pads, not paste, thought it was interesting. Later I was able to use MemTest on another PC and the memories are fine, tough I'm a bit skeptical. The GTX 950 is also working. I haven't tested the CPU 'cuz I don't have thermal paste. But thankfully, so far it seems that only the motherboard died. I contacted ASRock about it. Here's the email. Dear customer,We do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We can replace your ASRock product with an RMA (Return MerchandiseAuthorization): Please go ahead and register to our online RMA systemhttp://event.asrock.com/usrma/.

I was about to sit down at my Xbox to start playing some games. I have a computer set up next to it so that I could check email or watch YouTube videos while playing games. When I went to plug the monitor into the wall (an old Panasonic PanaSync E70i CRT monitor) there was a really big spark from the power socket, and the repulsive smell of static electricity came out of the area. Keep in mind that the computer was not plugged into the wall, but was connected to the monitor. But, because I'm an idiot, I plugged the monitor back into the wall and everything was fine after that. I turned on the computer to see if the monitor still worked, but there was no display. I got rid of the monitor, and connected a new one. I turned the computer back on, and still got no display. I took the computer out and opened it up. The smell of static was strong inside the computer, and that's when I realized that the smell didn't come from the monitor or the wall, it came from the computer. I looked at the graphics card and found that a resistor right beside the VGA port connector on the board had exploded and left a big burn mark on the PCB and as a consequence the GPU is toast, but fortunately the rest of the computer is fine. Amazing, right? But I'm confused as to how it happened. The computer wasn't plugged into the wall when it happened, only the monitor was. The spark came from the monitor's power cable. My only guess is that it was caused by the monitor sending a surge to the GPU through the VGA connection, that's my only guess. I'm in the middle of making a video, so if you want to see some imagery, you'll have to wait for that. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what happened? It was a cheap computer that is perhaps not really worth anything so it's not really a loss, but I want to understand the cause behind this exciting (but not in a good way) event.

So, I just saw this on another forum, apparent'y this just happened a few hours ago. 11:30 eastern time in the US, 11:30 PM local time in China. Big ass explosion. Videos being put up now. Headphone users be warned, shockwave is pretty damned loud. You may consider the video to be graphic, and there have been fatalities. https://youtu.be/nQwRMGa4jsU http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=677_1439397581 From what I've read, it's occurred in a densely populated area, local hospitals are already filled up. http://news.nationalpost.com/news/world/massive-explosion-reported-in-chinese-city-of-tianjin *UPDATES* More news has come out. Apparently the explosion occurred at a port in or around a shipping container. The count of injured is at about 50, no confirmed fatalities as of yet. Four firefighters injured, two missing. http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/12/asia/china-port-explosion/ Shipping container makes me think two things: Fertilizer, or terrorism. *UPDATE 2* So far the official death count is at 44, with hundreds injured. Picture of the damage to follow

Yeah, that one. The one that was supposed to go back to a landing platform on the open ocean. Well the main objective was to deliver the Dragon spacecraft to the ISS in which it succeeded, but the secondary objective was to return the 1st stage to Earth again under it's own power and, well... This happened: https://vine.co/v/OjqeYWWpVWK Other source: http://gizmodo.com/this-is-spacexs-rocket-crash-landing-on-a-barge-1679890015 the legs and then the engine sections smashed. Elon, in his ever-lasting 'stay cool while shit goes down' way of making a statement, said 'There was a full RUD". FYI, RUD means, according to Musk, a "Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly" event. I have to say, while the rocket exploded in a spectacular fashion it still hit the drone ship it was supposed to land on in the first place, which is quite an achievement on its own.

Pls no h8, I moved the slider on my GPU Clock Tool for my GTX 770 to 1260 MHz, and it crashed. Will it die any sooner? And how fast did it eat up? Will a PC not crash if it stays cool? I only moved the MHz slider, I don't think I moved the voltage.

So i moved a few times my brothers PC around the house today and when i returned it and he booted it up it smelled bad, he turned it off and when he flipped the power on on the PSU it sparked. Since i moved it its somehow my fault that the PSU is dead even tough it was 5 years old and it was this model, since the HDD was the most important part to him i plugged it into my PC and fully tested it with HD Tune and nothing was wrong. So my question is could have this fry the motherboard/cpu, keep in mind the PC wasn't on and im hoping its only the PSU since i can't really pay for the whole PC and i don't wanna start sharing mine.... Second question is can i just move his PC next to mine and plug my PSU cables into his PC without disassembling my PC and test if his PC boots?

Intel estimated that 70% of their 4770K's will be able to reach 4.5 GHz. I think mine is the 30%. I can't reach 4.1 GHz at 1.168V. My GTX 770 however, reached 1200 MHz and 7500 MHz on the memory. It's probably one of the magical chips. I can go more, but at the moment, I'm here to post this. Look at the speeds on the right. The first one is ref. speed, second is mild OC and the third is ^.

Specs are in the sig. All cores are running at 3.2 GHz @ 2.004V. Cores have been disabled; 1, 2, none respectively, with RealTemp recorded on all 4 cores, a maximum temp. of 70C. Should I be concerned regarding the 2.004V? It's cooled by a Rosewill RCX-Z90-CP with Arctic Cooling MX-4 thermal compound. It was tested with Geekbench 3.1 32-bit.
-
During the benchmark, I got a max temp of 94C with all cores at 39x multiplier (3.9 GHz.) It's one of those large spikes, but other than that, it's around 70C. I should buy some better thermal paste, yes? Also, will my PC crash if it's unstable during the testing?

i3 3220 6 gb ram Gigabyte lga 1155 rev 3 MY PSU keep exploding since 5 days. At first only spark sound came. It was randomly and I ignored it. However today a very loud explosion happened and the computer went of however it started again and the explosion happened again. I was using this PSU https://www.amazon.in/dp/B08H5M94DR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_i_MJA44WEQRVCPHYCZ5AAN I can't extend my budget since I already have increased it beyond I can afford. So is this one good https://www.amazon.in/dp/B08DK7YPX4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_i_7JN2K56ZHZBKCCW53C0N?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Also will this psu support my motherboard?
