This is the third Psu that broke and this one only lasted a day before the inside popped loudly. I dont know what to make of this string but even if i get a new Psu today i am not going to start my computer untill i get to the source of this problem.


I am very sorry about this i planed to work on a good amount of images and to show some more progress on 3d content but things are just not going my wa this month.

Sounds like the PSU's capacitors are popping, either because the PSU's way too undersized for your system's needs or you're getting hit by regular power surges. I'd lean toward the latter. Do you have your system on a UPS or, at the least, a decent surge protector?

Your fine. Life happens. I love your art so take a break and solve your computer problems. I’ll still be here supporting ya. Best of luck. Michael

They were more than enough power for my computer750w must be surgeing. I did have a surge protector but it was a cheap one i guess. I all ready orderd an ups to prevent this from happening again if it is

There are a few reasons this could be happening. If you're using a cheap UPS, that actually could be the culprit. First cheap UPS use a simulated sinewave output that tends to get into really heated arguments with the active PFC on your PSU (if you have a decent PSU). Here's Cyberpower's explanation on the specifics of why it occurs: <a href="https://promotions.newegg.com/Cyberpower/11-3370/index.html?cm_sp=BrandStore_+1821_CyberPower-_-cyberpower%2F17-5914-_-https%3A%2F%2Fpromotions.newegg.com%2Fcyberpower%2F17-5914%2F234x124.jpg&icid=128980" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://promotions.newegg.com/Cyberpower/11-3370/index.html?cm_sp=BrandStore_+1821_CyberPower-_-cyberpower%2F17-5914-_-https%3A%2F%2Fpromotions.newegg.com%2Fcyberpower%2F17-5914%2F234x124.jpg&icid=128980</a> . Secondly, you could be using a cheap PSU. You haven't specified models, but if it's not manufactured by a reputable company (ATNG, Superflower, Seasonic, etc) then it's going to die. If it's a diablotek unit it might well explode and take out your neighborhood block (I wish I was more than slightly exaggerating). Obviously it could be what you're inputting for power, but if your power at the outlet was really that far out of spec then you need to do more than buy better power stuffs for your computer, and it would probably manifest elsewhere, so I'm guessing it's one of the above. Go get yourself a Seasonic SSR-750 series or something else worth the purchase (are you *really* drawing that much though?), buy once, cry once, and if you're going to use a UPS make sure it doesn't suffer the above problem.

I had a corsair and at the time no UPS. So gar Irulled out anything wrong with the outlet after heaving an electrition take a look..

Corsair units are usually fine, even the CX series. If you get another, it'll probably work. At the same time, your machine is a bit more critical than most gamers' in that losing power carries a higher cost both in immediate lost work and downtime, and that lost time can ultimately be lost money. So I'd still stand by my recommendation. Get a good PSU with high efficiency (80+Gold) that has about double your load consumption in capacity and has really good voltage regulation, ripple suppression, etc, from a brand and line that's top notch. It's not really that expensive. You're probably not drawing 300W from your machine on a regular basis, so even 600-650 is probably fine or more than enough. A Seasonic G-650 is like 75 bucks and will take any beating your throw at it (any load any temp) without falling an inch out of ATX12V spec, and is warrantied for more years than you'll have that machine. Corsair's RM series is good, too, if you like the brand (I'm assuming you didn't somehow break a top of the line PSU, right? ;) :D ). EVGA Supernovas are another good one. You'll notice basically anything made by Seasonic, CWT, and Superflower are worth buying. <a href="https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-psus,4229.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-psus,4229.html</a> THEN get a UPS if you want, and do research to make sure it's going to play nicely with your PSU (reading up, it seems some PSUs are okay with square wave inputs and some are not). Even when my computer was a critical item doing hours-long work I never found I needed one, but that's me. I'm just saying don't go halfway on both items. Buy one properly, then the second properly iff needed.
