I recently started building a new system and got few parts
1) intel 6300 core2duo
2) 2gb of corsair XMS DDR2 mem
3) a 8800gtx 320 nvidia gfx
4) a gigabyte nvidia680 mobo
5) and oryx 650 watt psu
everything worked fine for 1-2 weeks but today i thought i will install 2 more hard disks (already had 3hd+1dvd) to slowly build up the system .. little did i know that my psu would blow up.
I did all the right procedures, i had unplugged everything, and checked everything 10000% to be cleanly installed and locked to place. I then switched the psu on from the back and "tsaf", a small lighting, some smoke and the stink of the fried psu...
Now i am left with the worry that whatever psu i will get my system may be fried, plus i need to buy a new psu which i dunno what to get as per their wattage and out voltages / amp...
Shouldn't 650 be more than enough for this? the system was not overclocked.
Can anyone advise on a psu that can support my setup? and a min of 8 hd's?
The odd thing is that the internal fuse of the psu hasn't burned or anything. i checked this cause i thought i could maybe change the fuse and somehow fix the psu for the time being....
anyadvise welcomed.
thanks
