Hello,
Recently as I have been playing games, computer would restart after an hour or two and come up with a message on the bios screen "Asus Anti-Surge Protection triggered".
Now after some research its:
1. High chance ASUS is over sensitive and will trigger on gaming rigs.
2. minor chance that there is some fault going on and it would be the PSU.
3. Very unlikely to be the PSU if the PSU is of good quality.
So I did check out the tier list but because I'm technologically inept, the corsair rm750i is listed as "tier 1" but it is in black which means it is "standard". I've no idea what that tells me. I am worried that I am reading it wrong too as there is another corsair of a much lower rank but is rm750 (no 'i')
So is the build and safety quality of the corsair rm750i good? I am in a lucky position to get a brand new one very cheap as well(exactly same model) - sent by a buddy. I plan to swap out the PSUs with the brand new corsair rm750i next week to see if that helps. My concern is if it still pops up, it would mean its the ASUS being overly sensitive. The "solution" would then be to disable the surge trigger but then I am worried about the corsair unit blowing up etc.
Does a faulty corsair rm750i unit damage internal items? Is it relatively safe? if not, what is a safe unit? I know old corsair units have reports of screwing up and taking half the motherboard with it. I also know good PSUs should ruin itself before ruining any other component (thats how they are designed).
I appreciate the responses.
