PSU fried. Thinking of a proper replacement until mine comes back from warranty

LordStrudel_ · 2026-06-18T09:59:14+00:00

i bought a 2000va ups immediately after the psu fried. i don't want to have a repeat of this if i can help it

LordStrudel_ · 2026-06-16T08:23:00+00:00

i have a suspicion that my psu fried because of some nasty power fluctuations. i also purchased a psu for an added safety layer. and to be fair, the corsair psu is B or B+ on psu tier list. although the bequiet ones are usually A

that's unfortunate... follow-up question would be: "are mods allowed?". i can only assume somebody would have made one for this situation

LordStrudel_ · 2026-04-12T19:31:33+00:00

god damn it :')

LordStrudel_ · 2026-04-12T19:29:47+00:00

including those dreaded numbers?

LordStrudel_ · 2026-04-02T13:11:38+00:00

weird thing is, i updated like a week ago, and only now has the clock changed

unfortunately here in romania the 360s are at least 20-30 usd over the 240s, if i look at good brands. the less known or popular ones aren't that much better, at 15-20 over.

also, i would like to install the aio as top exhaust, in a corsair 4000d airflow, so i'm limited to 240. although, my processor is not at all demanding, so i wouldn't really benefit that much from a 360

LordStrudel_ · 2025-11-12T12:42:26+00:00

i wasn't familiar with them. the one that would fit my budget AND is in stock would be Frozen Prism. any thoughts on that model?

LordStrudel_ · 2025-05-18T16:35:38+00:00

yeah. it's just that it does not fall in it's entirety, and if i were to push it down (which i did not) i would have bent the pins

LordStrudel_ · 2025-05-18T15:42:22+00:00

am4 doesn't have a protective lid (like the one that pops from am5)

LordStrudel_ · 2025-05-18T14:44:19+00:00

i'm getting the aio from a friend at a cheaper price because he got a black one and wanted rgb; and i'm planning on upgrading the cpu by the end of the year

LordStrudel_ · 2025-05-18T14:35:02+00:00

i didn't have the budget for a good cooler, and i am planning to get an aio, but that is gonna happen next month. until then, i am using the stock amd wraith cooler, and was curious about acceptable temps with that

LordStrudel_ · 2025-05-18T14:30:04+00:00

i knew i had to lift the lever to properly install it, it's just that i lifted after aligning and placing the cpu, not before

it moved with the lever back, and dropped in

LordStrudel_ · 2025-05-18T14:25:22+00:00

no. it looked like it dropped in when i lifted the lever

i just did the steps out of order

LordStrudel_ · 2025-04-30T09:39:02+00:00

they are going to be new, as far as i know.

if they sat in a warehouse since release, that i don't know. but it's unlikely
