Strange PSU fault.
This morning I noticed my GPU's (CF7950's) didn't seem to be as snappy as normal. Popped the side panel and I see I don't have power to the second card. Do some basic checking and I find the connector for the second card has no output. Cable continuity is good, no power at the PSU plug, poop the bed!
This is a Thermaltake Smart M series 850 watt unit that is never pushed over 500 watts, according to the APU watt gadget. Ten months old, oh well. I check out Thermaltakes RMA process, poop the bed again! If I send the PSU in I may in six weeks, receive a used/refurbed unit as replacement from the "pool".
Off to buy a new PSU. The Sea Sonic X850 is at the top of the list, anyone have this psu?
