For the last month I have been doing an intense case mod.
Every wire is being soldered to fit my lengths...
Entire case assembly from scratch. Aluminum and plexiglass.
I have voided the warranty on almost every part of my PC.
What i am facing now is a power supply that appears to either overheat (my fault running without fans)
Or a short circuit in my wiring....worst case scenario(lots of wires to re-solder)
To test, I have removed every wire I could from the power supply(modular PSU).
I have just the psu connected to the wall. PSU is not connected to any other part(mobo/hdd/fans)
What I want to know is...
Should the heat sinks within the power supply carry a current?
I am getting shocked when i touch ground and these heat sinks...
I under stand heat sinks are a vital part of wattage dissipation for the transistors. But I assumed they would not directly carry a voltage/current.
I have thoroughly checked my solders for short circuits and cannot find a culprit.
Any Electrical Engineers out there?
