Re: Seasonic X 850W not turning on

i believe mine has failed in the same way as ops,

though the failure mechanism was unusual, i put the system into S3 sleep to reset a stuck winbond sensor and when i woke the machine up it had the wrong cpu/qpi voltages,

slept the machine another time to see if it would correct that ended with all board LEDs going out, system non powerable.

theres a faint acrid smell emanating from it, i don't know if its a 5vsb failure or overall 12v since these are DC-DC for voltages other than 12.

Sorry for zombie thread.

the Quattro is NOT fine. A friend has just had his die bad caps style. they may be lasting longer then previously, but they still aren't good enough.
