    Power Supply Blew last night :(

    I bought a nice gaming rig 6 months ago and last night while playing far cry 3 it made a loud Bang and my lovely pc died

    1 day before the Beta! I have been counting down the days to beta, what horrible luck!

    The pc has a 1 year guarantee so I am sure they will post me a new power supply but thats gonna take at least a weak...

    Either that or i go into London today and just buy a new power supply for about £60 cause I am very impatient and really really really wanna play the beta today/tomorrow whenever it comes out lol.

    Anyways just thought id share my sorrows with you guys :P

    Ouch! I'm sorry to hear.

    I would recommend Corsair PSUs.

    Yeah if it was bought whole, the PSU they had and the new one they may give may be sub par in the first place. Without knowing the model, hard to say, but if it is, buying a decent one is my recommendation.

    Corsair is over rated..and they've fallen on reputability on their budget PSU products. There's Seasonic, Antec, Silverstone, , PC Power & Cooling, Thermatake, great OEMs.

    Corsair also buys from Channel Well (CWT) for some of the PSUs too.

    I see similar companies, but not that one. Check here http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...urer,2913.html

    As before Seasonic is good. PC Power & Cooling USED to be good, since OCZ took them over they're not as great now. CWT for some is good, like the Corsair 1200W I use as one of my Dual PSU setup.

    Oh, i dunno. I'm using them on all my current PCs, the modular version, and they're stable, quiet and have a silver 80+ specification. Sounds good for me for the price they're offered at.
