Hi guys!

I build this pc a year ago!


  Spec:

Case: Phanteks Enthoo Pro
Motherboard: Maximus 7 Hero
Cpu:i7-4790k
Cpu Cooling: Noctua NH-U14S 1 fan on each side
RAM:Corsair venegeace pro 16Gb 1600mhz i will make this 32gb
Graphics Card: GTx 760 DirectCU II
Storage: 1x Samsung EVO 250GB and 1x Western Digital 1TB
Optical Drive: 1x DVD DRive
Case Cooling:  Front: 200mm stock Cooler Phanteks for Intake
               Top  : 3x 120mm Noctua NF-F12 PWN  for Intake
               Back : 1x 140mm Noctua NF-A14 PWN  for Outtake
               Bottom:1x 120mm Noctua NF-F12 PWN  for Outtake


Psu:Thermaltake Berlin 630w 80+ 4 years old

So the Qestion is do i need a new Psu?

Why do i ask is simple i noticed when i forget a cd in my dvd drive and shutdown my Pc and start it again i get an Error! Cpu fan failed...
when i start my pc all the fans are starting at max rotation so i think when the dvd drive starts to the fan's dont have that much power to start
ans i get this error. So guys this is my question do i need to replace this Psu and if yes i want something that i can use even if i upgrade my Graphics Card or
run this Graphics Card in sli with another card.

I would appreciate your help and advice on wich psu should i get if i need to replace

If you are looking for a new psu I would suggest the evga 750w g2 one of the best psu's out there. But I've had this problem on a old bord there was a short circuit on the bord causing an error but it ended up causing damage to the cpu fab which I replaced and it worked fine so just maby try and putting a different fan in your cpu fan header

I had something similar happen to me once (ok, twice), and it was a PSU failure. I'd try replacing that first. If that doesn't solve it, I'd lean towards motherboard issues. Look for something by Seasonic or XFX, the Corsair RMi and RMx lines and/or an EVGA G2 or B2 PSU, and make sure it's putting out enough watts to keep your beast fed. 630W should be more than enough.

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

i have this problem just when the Optical drive has a cd in it and when i start the pc the optical drive starts to read the cd and just then i get the error.If the optical drive is empty the pc starts with no problems in max 10 seconds it's up and running.

Wich one should i buy

Evga 750w Nova G2
Seasonic X650 or 750w
corsair 650 rmx or 750 rmx

i would go for 750w to have some reserves if i upgrade to a new GPU and perhaps i will get a liquid cooler for my cpu!
 wich psu should i get? is that Evga has some good reviews.
