Hello guys!

So I own a Silverstone Strider Evolution 1000w gold power supply. I owned a 290x which ddied within 3 days of owning it. Then I owned 2 7970s which ended up also failing within some days. I've concluded that the power supply is faulty and am shipping it in for warranty.

My concern is, if I have short ended the life of the rest of my components. They seem to be working fine but is there anyway I can make sure? Should I go ahead and replace my motherboard, cpu, ect.?

As much as I like to blame a bad psu, there is once in awhile REALLY bad luck. I remember reading a thread 3 months ago about a guy who had 4 bad card over a 2 month period.

If the CPU and everything is working then I'd say you should be fine. Unless you can replace them with no costs attached and you can wait for the new parts to come, I wouldn't worry about it.

@SR-71 Blackbird in this case could it be the cables that I am using? I am using all custom sleeved cables from MOD DIY. Also this is actually my second one of this power supply. The first one just stopped working one day. So it seems maybe I got a bad batch of them?
