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.

Please if possible post some pictures of the PSU's old caps and your replacements

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.... -
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... -
Hey there guys. I've got a Corsair power supply that's come across my bench dead. I usually don't mess with power supplies, but it's a slow week so I'm giving it a whirl.
Taking it apart I heard a screw rattling around inside, and when I got it apart I found a couple blown components near what I think is the 5VSB area.
There's a 22ohm resistor that's melted and open, but it still has the bands.
The other part is a zener diode and it's top went to jesus, so I can't read the marking.
It looks like the diode connects the source and drain of a TNY284... -
Hi all,
I have a Corsair RM850x that refuses to turn on. I have 5v stby but as soon as I try to power it up it goes 'click' and does not deliver any voltages.
I have not been able to find any blown or shorted components and there are no bulging capacitors. I have replaced the APFC controller and for a brief period (2 or 3 on/off cycles) the PSU worked but then the fault returned. Perhaps heating the PFC area is what resulted in the temporary fix?
The only option I see now is to start pulling components one by one, but before I proceed, perhaps someone more knowledgeable...
