Posted December 20, 2016 So i came home and turned on my PC like normal and i heard an awful electricity sound and smelled that too familiar smell. The smell was very strong and when i turn on the power supply it buzzes. WTF Corsair! I plugged in an old power supply and thank god nothing else was damaged! How the hell does this happen Maybe it was the old-ish cyber power UPS? I only had it plugged into surge protection Has this happed to anyone else?

Sounds like what would happen if you plugged a PSU that could only operate on 220V AC switched to 115. I think the CX750M should automagically switch though and you live in Oklahoma so I doubt you plugged it into a 220V. Perhaps you could just contact Corsair and get another one? |PSU Tier List /80 Plus Efficiency| PSU stuff if you need it.

I often see listing of retardeds who believed it was a good idea buying a PSU from the US since it is 10% cheaper (not including shipping, that would make it Cost a lot more than what it costs in Australia) than what you find in Australia only to find it was DOA and it costs way to much to ship it back.

Posted December 20, 2016 I would recommend getting a RM or RMx series, I have used them both and have had absolutely no problems with them for high end builds (Currently a 6800k and 2x 1080's with RM1000x) without wasting more on a AXi or HXi when they aren't really any more reliable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
