silverstone 600w psu died (I think)

[wun911]

I tried to turn on my pc this morning and it wouldnt turn on....

The mb's power light was out and the psu was pluged in and switched on.....

I have been running this pc for a few months already without any probs.

P5N32 SLI
P4 960
Water cooled
7900GT
Raptor 150 HD

The psu makes a funny click zap zap noize.....

Im 90% sure the psu is dead.....

does ocing a pc void the warrinty of a psu???

Don't tell them that you were overclocking in any event. Just tell them it died during normal use. If they question you about overclocking say that you don't.

Is there any way possible that the shop can tell if the psu has been used on an oced pc????

 

[phreejak]

No.
They can suspect.
They can wonder.
They can ask.
But, unless you admit it, they can't prove it.

Just play dumb - as in, you don't even know how to overclock and you have no need to.

Take Newegg for instance.
Really good RMA program.
Do you really think that anyone who has RMA'd a card from them (or any graphic card company for that matter) has ever said that they destroyed their card by overclocking it - and then asked for a replacement?

So, like the United States army says - Don't ask, Don't tell.
