PSU Problem or something else?

Hi guys, I was talking here before about getting a new psu and i finally ordered it because i think my issue was related to that. But basically my issue was that my PC would reboot (like power loss) and then turned back on. While gaming in games like PUBG , H1Z1 etc. I feel like its the psu overheating or something and then turns a protection for overheating. I fixed it like half a year ago with replacing the fan inside of it. I replaced it with a Noctua S12A-PWM and it fixed it for a while until summer hit. And then it started doing that again. After dusting off the psu it helps for a bit. or turning the ac on it will work for a bit more. I ordered the Corsair RM650i to replace it (comes with a 10year warranty) But i still want to know if the psu was the issue.

If tweaking the PSU does the job then it should be the cause of problem.

Fair enough sir.

 

BTW: the psu that i have right now is the CM - Elite V2 550w (never buy it)

As i've seen reviews about the RM650i it seems to not turn the fan on even while on load.

A hard reboot similar to power loss usually points to the PSU. Seems like it was overheating, it is after all a fairly low-cost unit.

Never EVER do that again!

You don't do that because you voided every approval the PSU had.

 

And if something went horribly wrong, you are the one who has to pay for it, not the insurance, not anybody else.

And also we are talking about something around 400V wich could kill you easily...

 

Besides:
A normal PSU Fan is something around 2200rpm, 

The NF-S12A PWM has around half of that.

Again, that is not good and the PSU probably did overheat...
