Possible Power Supply Problem

[BrokenProgram01]

Recently I bought an Asus GTX 780 and along with that I bought a new power supply but when I went and and installed it I encountered a problem of my computer restarting about 1/2 hour of my GPU running stressed (no OC) this happens in both Unigen Vally and MSI afterburner as these are the only two I have tried could this be a problem that the power supply isn't delivering its full amperage on its 12v rail though. It's supposed to output 48 amps on it?

 

Computer:

Intel i5-2320

OEM dell XPS 8300

ASUS GTX 780

SKHynix SL 308 250GB

2x 500GB WD Blue

2x 4GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600MHz

2x 2GB DDR3 1333MHz

Thermaltake versa H25

3x Thermaltake Riing 120mm Red

Corsair vs600 80+ white 600watt PSU

Bro that's a terrible PSU. Return it asap and get something that can actually cope with a 780

I got it because it had decent rating on amazon (4.8/5 stars) and I wasn't looking to spend too much If I wasn't going to over clock but would that really be the problem that i'm experiencing

Well it could be something else but I can't really tell you that when you have such a bad PSU there. Amazon reviews doesn't tell you anything about the bad things it does, like lacking critical protection circuits or delivering unclean power that can age or kill components over time. Return it and we can help you find something that doesn't break the bank and is much better (depending on where you live)

Just to make sure I'm going to test my GPU in my friends computer (the only other component I changed) But what other power supply would you recommend? Preferably something under $50 because you see 750 watt 80+ bronze semi-modular Evga power supplies at that point after MIR

In the US?

 

If that's the EVGA 750W B2 you're talking about, and I suspect it is, get that. Don't get the BQ unless you can't find anything else.

 

You can drive a 780 on a good 500-500W though. So look for Seasonic S12II 520W or you could do an EVGA 600B if you find it. Not the most amazing PSU but better for sure. Out of those two the Seasonic gets the edge

which one of these would you say is better as they are all near the same price point?

I would go with the 620W S12II

I found the reason the fan of the power supply never turned on so when I ran the benchmarks the PSU would overheat and turn off

Oh gotcha, that's a factory defect, but you should still change it

That PSU has Over/Under voltage/current protection so it'll protect itself and your components once it detects something that's out of spec so I wouldn't really worry about it damaging other parts of your system. 

 

If the fan is not running at all, then I would suggest that you get it replaced from Amazon OR you can always get a replacement from us via RMA process. That PSU is defective.

I hope you don't mind me bashing the VS series though

I will concede that you guys did a great job with the new CXM

Not at all, its all good  At this point, we all know by now where the VS sits in our PSU hierarchy. I just want to make sure that we all deliver the correct message, that's all. 

 

But yeah, I have to agree, the latest iteration of CXM series has been solid thus far. Our PSU team has done a great job of implementing the new spec.

would the 520watt one work if I decide to over clock because that just dropped in price to $24 after rebate

Yeah you'll be pushing its max power so it might get loud, but the S12II 520W will work on an OC 780 and Sandy i5

I'm looking forward to what you guys have next for the PSU

Maybe next time you revise it go something thats not CWT?

As long as they collaboration of the two company produce something good as display with the HXi/HX/RMi/RMx in the high-end segment and the new CXM in the budget segment, while I do like to see what they can do with other OEMs, I don't mind Corsair continue using them.
