Corsair VS350 likes killing HDDS
Just a warning... I have a Corsair VS350 PSU which killed atleast 5 HDDS due to the CrapXon caps it contained, If you have one of these PSUs I highy recommend you either return it for a new better PSU or replace the caps. Especially if it used to power HDDS that contain important data. This PSU was just over a year old and has killed drives that had important data on them. now that i replaced the crapxons the PSU is fine and hasnt had a problem since.

Hello everyone,
I'm encountering a frustrating issue with my Corsair SFX 450 power supply. After an undefined period of operation, my PC will either suddenly restart or, in some cases, it won't start at all until I disconnect the power cable and reconnect it. This erratic behavior occurs intermittently, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact conditions under which it happens.
For context, I have tested the PSU using an electronic load at 150W, and under those controlled conditions, it functions flawlessly. This leads me to... -
Hi everyone! Been a while!
So I have a CM MWE 750 Bronze - V2 PSU powering the following:
Ryzen 5 3400G
Gigabyte B450 Auorus Motherboard
32GB DDR4-3600 (2x16)
ASUS TUF 1660 TI 6GB DDR6
1TB NVME
This was purchased by a friend about 3 years ago for her kid and now it showing signs of instability. The PC had this problem of the screen becoming garbled after it was booted up and idling in Windows. It also sometimes gets a BSOD. So I did some stress test by starting with Prime 95 and noticed that the torture test just fails and stops immediately.... -
The power supply is 2020 Corsair HX1200 modular power supply.
Cause of damage: I connected EVGA molex cable to the Sata port and test it with a ATX tester. Since the pin out on the EVGA is wrong, result in the 12V pin shorted to the 5V pin, in the 12V back-feeded to the 5v port.
Damage: Power supply shorted out, shut off itself internally, damaged the 5v or 3v rail or the monitoring circuitry. The self protection circuit shut off the power supply when power up because it detected some abnormal/defect. I waited a few minutes, let it self reset then try to re power up.... -
I have this Corsair VS450 PSU which lies dead and has an exploded TNY chip. Upon removing primary side parts like mosfets, the bulk cap and the bridge rectifier I've found that the primary cap is also a goner. (Photos)
The mosfets and the diode are fine and survived the collapse it seems. The TNY chip is shattered and from the online review/sources it was probably a TNY176~177.... -
Looks like I may need a little help from the PSU experts (or anyone really!
) I have a Corsair CX750M (Model 75-002019) that I picked up for free about 4 years ago. This is the PSU:
So here’s what’s strange about this one: it appears to work normally (normal output voltages) and any PC is stable with it. However, after a while (typically 10-20 minutes, but time can vary depending on the load), there is a sweetish smell of burned magnet wire insulation emanating from the PSU. Upon opening the PSU after this happened (many times), I was able to confirm...
