    Enermax MODU82+ 525W HW killer?

    I got this unit from a customer to check if there is something wrong with it…there was some suspicious amount of dead HW around it. Motherboard died, than cosely after it hard drive and than SSD which has been added some time later.

    It may very well be just coincidence, both HDD and MB were old. And the SSD was not used much for a few years and than all of sudden regular use has ben applied on it so it may have had some problem no one noticed before.

    The thing is, I just hooked about 450 watts on it, everything is fine. Voltages are OK, ripple is great. No strange voltages on casing etc. I would just stick Q.C. passed on it and call it a day So is that just a coincidende? Or maybe loose wires in wall or something like that?

    What kind of components did he use?

    have you tested the PSU with some random transients??

      Nope, do you think it may be the problem? This platform was very good by its time, I don't think something may go bad just like this…

        sounds like mobo went bad. a bad mobo will destroy anything connected to it

            Depends on how modern the components he used were.

            With modern components you'll get a lot of ripple due to the heavy load changes from them. When the PSU isn't designed for that, that may damage other components.

            Well, take a look at the pictures here (don't mind the text )

            That's how modern GPUs consume power. AMD since Hawaii, with nVidia I'm not sure, but I think it was the 600 series that introduced this kind of power consumption...

              I think this is what makes for example Seasonic units make noises but I don't think it's going to kill anything. Definitelly this may be shortening life a little bit, but not killing the components after 5 years of use…it is somewhat older HW, not GTx 600.

              The HW is P5Q-E Deluxe, HD 4850 - these are dropping like flies.

                Extreme High Current & Low Voltage Short Killer ??
                by DynaxSC
                Hi Folks

                I'm looking for a extreme high current short killer solution for a reasonable cost.

                I have an LGA1700 motherboard (ASUS PRIME Z790-P WiFi) where I exchanged the LGA socket already 3 times, and every time after the socket exchange I get a short of power supply lines VCORE (V variable) and VCCIN_AUX (1.8V).
                After taking off the socket, the shorts dissappear again.
                The soldermask on the socket is already partially demaged from the heat, so I have reconstructed the soldermask by manually painting the missing soldermask parts with a very small top of a...

                It's my own motherboard and I really need to fix it, I need it for work, both my motherboards broke at almost the same time, and I don't have any backup to continue my work, if anyone can share the boadview, I will immensely be grateful!...

                CKV Short Killer
                by kevin_allein
                Hi, recently I found a lot of videos on YouTube regarding CKV Short Killer. All of those Videos seem to be from Asia (e.g. in Hindi). I could not find a single English Video. Translation on YouTube on those videos does not work well, so it is hard to understand details.
                Basically it seems to address the frequent problems of LCD panels, when CKV and CKVB lines have some short and the only fix is to cut those lines or use tape on the ribbon cable to the secondary scalar board of the panel.
                Does anyone have any experience with that ?
