Hello,
I would like to ask an opinion from you guys to solve an issue of failing PSU.
I have built a small factor size PC containing the following components:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 Six Core 1600 3.60GHz
CPU cooler: Cryorig C7 Top Flow CPU heatsink
MB: ASRock Mini-ITX Motherboard - AB350
SDD: Kensington 240GB
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC ACX 3.0 Black Edition 8GB GDDR5
PSU: Silverstone Strider SFX 600W Fully Modular '80 Plus Gold' Power Supply
So what happened is that after building my PC and running it for 2 days my PSU failed. The System just shutdown and would not power up again.
So what I did to check what is happening: I unplugged everything, waited 10 minutes plugged it again and no change. The system would not power up.
I have an OLD ATX Corsair 850W semi-modular PSU that I used for over 6 years with my old rig. I used this to power the system. The result was that everything works fine, no shutdowns.
So from this test I spoke with the shop and RMA the PSU with a the same model. I assume dthe PSU was faulty.
After installing the new PSU the same problem occured. I RMA the PSU for a Corsair 600W SFX modular PSU this time, awaiting the delivery now.
What is happening? Why is this happening? Its obviously the silverstone SFX PSU issue because my old corsair ATX PSU works just fine.
I hope the new SFX corsair PSU will work fine but what do you guys think?
I will be taking my rig along with the new PSU to a local pc repair place I used before to have them check it out (onc ethe new PSU arrives in the next 4-5 days).
But in the meantime it is bugging me to find out why.
Thank you,
Milo
