Hi everyone.
Here is my rig:
Z87X-OC Force
32Gb DDR3 Ram
GTX Titan
Intel i7 4770k @3.5ghz
OCZ Vertex 4 250Gb
Corsair 750D case
Plus my blown Corsair AX1200i
After a couple of days in September 2013 of playing my computer, after turning it off it blew up about 30 mins whilst turned off. I got a brand new PSU sent out and never put it in my case until March 2014 (that's when I bought my Corsair 750dD)
I was using an Antec 1200 with an 850w PSU because I thought since my new PSU blew up I will buy a new case to put the new AX1200i in. Which brings me to March 2014 with my 750D.
For 2 weeks everything has been great, cool temperatures and performance flowing. Started playing Titanfall and really enjoying it. Turned off my computer to watch television for a bit and then a loud bang (after 20 minutes of being turned off). Yet another AX1200i PSU gone!
Before questions of maybe I installed it incorrectly, I am a technician so yes I could of made a mistake on installing the PSU but odds are that it was correct (double check everything before I fully assemble computer etc)
My questions:
1. Does this happen to a lot of AX1200i power supplies?
2. Have I got too much spare Wattage that can cause this problem?
3. Am I just very unlucky and have had 2 dodgy PSUs?
Thanks for your time and effort in reading this, as you can probably guess I am fuming as without the PSU the components cost over £1500.
Thanks again, Jamie.
