hello im asking is there somethign wrong with my psu? i reached around to see my cables and i found the psu's power cable to be VERY hot. i touched my other psu's cable and it was not hot like the one inside my case. any ideas?
yeah i dunno imma try a different, cable, i got an extra one lying around, maybe theres some resistance inside it causing it to heat up.. i dont know, well maybe someo ne will post who might have had the same problem
well i mean its brand spanking new, and the psu isnt hot to the touch at all, its just the cable. lol and thats not always the case, my 580 watt blew up on me and my motherboard is still going strong
no i mean i checked the cable all the way down to the surge protector, hot all the way down, and getting all soft lol wiggly the rubber was getting all soft from the heat ><. this different cable i just put in feels slightly warm but not hot yet gonna keep runing the computer to see, but the thing that is odd is i have a different power supply and the cord is ice cold so i dont know what could be causing the 575w's cord to warm
well i got medium good news lol this second cord i used is warm to the touch but its not soft and wiggly or scalding hot so i guess im in the clear for the time being lol. r2 cord o/c/g
About months ago, I bought those of those Logysis 575 watts when they were on sale at Newegg w/free shipping. The power supply itself is okay but both of the cords that came in the box are cheap and both burnt up and failed, stopped working. I stripped both of them and found that the copper lines were like a hair strand, ridiculously thin for a power supply. The insulation was cheap too. Anyways, I replaced the cords and everything with the PSUs are okay.
