Hey there.
I've been a little paranoid recently since I bought a Corsair CX series 750W power supply, and the thing blew up my old Motherboard and CPU which was an Asus: P8H61-M, and an Intel Core i5 4440 3.1GHz Processor.
I put it down to faulty PSU because as soon as i plugged it in, it glowed blue and sparks went flying, and i did get compensation from Amazon for new better replacement parts.
But see now im worried about the next power supply i buy because even though im sure that the PSU wasnt too much for my old unit im afraid that this time i will screw up and blow it. So i was hoping i could get some expect opinions.
I now have, a Gigabyte Z97P Motherboard, and a new Intel Core i5 4690k I haven't chosen a new power supply yet, but i am currently looking at:
An XFX XXX 750W 80+ Bronze Semi Modual Power Supply.
Will this be too much for the new parts i have and possibly blow it?
or am i just over thinking this and i should buy it? I'm hoping to get it bought today so i can go back to Xmas shopping, and i have put off getting it now for about a week getting a lot of different opinions, but not many of them where helpful.
Thanks Very Much
