    What are the pro's and cons of replacing a 1/4 with a 1/2 resistor same ohms?

    Hello,
    As the title says. I bought a cheap Asus ROG Strix 750-watt PSU, which was posted as defective. Cables are complete, and the entire PSU is in good condition, of course, aside from being faulty. Long story short, upon checking, there is no +5VSB. Looking at the components, I found a blown resistor. I swear, looking at the bands, the color is pink, pink, gold, gold. I dunno if I'm color blind or this is the way resistors are coded.

    Please help, did I decode it correctly at 2.2 ohms (red, red, gold, gold), or what could a pink, pink, gold gold value be? I bought a 2.2ohms, but it was a 1/2 watts can I use this 1/2 W replacement over a 1/4. The resistor is located in the PCB R105.

    hi ,there
    it does look pick on pic but am sure its red.. you can use the 1/2 watt over the 1/4 just as long as the resistance is the same. the 1/2 watt would be more durable.

      resistor colours dont include pink.
      and resistors dont burn for no reason - you have a bigger issue to find.
