Hey guys I have a question that is two tiered. Here you go:
1) The step down transformer (from the mains) in my street blew recently and caused an electricity spike/surge/brownout (idk what its called) in my house. A ceiling fan got absolutely fried, and two modem router adapters got fried as they were connected into the wall. My PC is pretty further down the house and connected to a power strip (it does not have surge protection). Now here's the thing, nothing on the strip appears to be damaged, it had an LCD connected, a Home Theater AVR, a printer, and the PC. All seem to be working fine. The PC was shut down at the time the surge or whatever it was occurred but not physically disconnected from the strip. My question is, can i be 100% sure the PSU is fine? Its a Corsair RM 750x so I assume if it was not fine, it would fail to startup right and it does have all of the OC OV UC UV protection etc? PC seems to be working more or less okay as well.
2) I will be upgrading to the following configuration soon, please let me know if a RM 750x will suffice:
1. Core i9 7820k
2. 32 GB DDR4 RAM
3. 2x SSD and 2x HDD
4. 3-4 Lighting fans
5. Asrock Taichi X299 Motherboard
6. MSI GTX 1080 Ti Lightning (has three power connectors)
7. Corsair Hydro 100i v2 Radiator
or do I need to upgrade my PSU?
Cheers,
