Jaws2002 Posted August 29, 2020 Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) I got this 1200W Cooler master, 80 Plus Platinum PSU seven and a half years ago and today it just didn't come back on again. I was afraid i burned the motherboard again, lile last december, but i opened up the case and did the paper clip test. Looks like the Power supply is dead. I read after i bought it, that 80Plus Platinum power supplies that come with less than ten years warranty are suspect, but it was too late. My 7 years warranty expired in January. Great! I could have jumped in the car for a quick drive across the border, to Micro Center in Detroit, [edited] I have two days to play a bit and i'm stuck with a dead psu. Anyway. Do you guys have experience with, and can suggest a good, 80Plus Platinum or Titanium, 850W to 1000w power supply? Thank you!

CanadaOne Posted August 30, 2020 Posted August 30, 2020 Bummer. I bought the Corsair RM750X Gold modular simply because it was available a few months ago when there was almost nothing available, and because it had good reviews. There is an 850w model. That's the extent of my PSU knowledge. 1
WallysWorld Posted August 30, 2020 Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) When I picked the parts for my new build almost a year ago, I went with the Seasonic Focus Plus Gold 850W and have had no regrets. PCPartPicker Seasonic 850W Gold Plus PSU Edited August 30, 2020 by WallysWorld 1

PCPartPicker Seasonic 850W Gold Plus PSU Thank you! I was looking for a Seasonic PSU but everyone around here had them on backorder. I was able to find a Corsair AX1000 at Canada Computers in London and grabed it. It's a 1000W 80Plus Titanium PSU, built by Seasonic, so it should be pretty close in performance with the Seasonic 1000W version. Comes with 10 years warranty. I may throw it in tonight.

Jaws2002 Posted August 31, 2020 Author Posted August 31, 2020 Well, crap. Swapped the PSU and the computer is still dead. I guess my motherboard is dead as well... Second Aorus X570 Master dead since November. Man I'm lucky.
LLv34_Flanker Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 S! @Jaws2002Sucks if your mobo burned, but again those are delicate things. I have not had issues with PSUs, been using Seasonic and Corsair over the years.
