That's one hell of a failure. I thought I was maybe overloading it,
but
I'm using 200W peak, and it was a 300W supply.
Anyway I've sourced a fanless one for £120....
Yea, I have seen some nice new fanless ones out there in the market..
Tho to be honest I woulda probably been more tempted to just mount a
couple
of NB coolers on the heatsinks inside the PSU itself (sure it could be
done).
NB?
I DID mount coolers on the heatsinks. But I think more than that needed
cooling.
Ahhhh
yea I see what you did now
...
Yea you probably needed a verry small airflow.. But nearly all of the heat
comes from those 5/6 (or 8/9 on some) amps that are connected to the 2
(sometimes 3) sinks..
I find it verry strange myself, Are you sure that there wasnt any leaking or
that even there wasnt possilbly metal shavings inside the unit after
installing the blocks?
