Hello,

I have the RM650X, it makes a pop noise every time i switch the switch on the surge protected extension lead which my pc is plugged into. Yesterday when i switched the switched it blown the fuse in PSU, there was a loud bang and a flash, it also tripped my fuse box. The PSU now is completely dead.

This is the 2nd RM650X within 1yr, the same problem happened before which then i got a replacement. I've looked around on different forums and read that other people have had the same problem with this particular PSU.

My question is why this happening? Is the RM650X a bad PSU or am i doing something wrong?

I've been refunded and bought the G2 650 instead which will arrive next week, is this a good choice??
