My power supply died...F#%@@%%@%@

Posted (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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
