Power Supplies Going up in smoke!
I have a system with an AMD 64 3400+ on a K8T Neo MSI mainboard.
Have two SATA WD 120 gig in a raid 0 on the VIA chipset, not the promise! Have 2 sticks infineon 512 meg pc3200 in dual channel, a Lite on DVD and a Lite on CDRW, a SB Audigy 2 and an MSI 5900 Ultra XT with 256 megs... The thing is blazing fast, and stuffed into a Foxconn mid tower with a 450 watt power supply. The first pwsupply went out while running SiSoft burn in .... and I figured I caught a weak component. I replaced that one with a 420 watt Codegen and that one went up in less than 12 hours run time... I have a 600 watt coming, but I would like to hear from the group on possible causes and things to look out for... Like I said this beast is VERY fast but it gets a little expensive feeding it power supplies... Thanks in advance... |
