Solved Is it possible my PSU is Maxed out

[Solarstarshines]

Ran 10 passes did well I'm thinking it could have been the pump max temps are hella low lower then before at this speed

Going to mark solved for now unless it happens again

did you have the PC in a refrigerator? 5C is a very low minimum temp, 41F.

I wish but just to let you know i had to mark it unsolved it happened again no longer then 20 min after IBT so it isn't the OC as you see 10 legit passes and didn't shut down for like 20 min after

I am going to check my PSU fan if it isn't spining then im going to contact corsair for a RMA
meanwhile i could either throw a subpar PSU on another back up rig with a 6870 till the other PSU gets here but im not sure if i can handle the waiting so i might just get a new one but just making sure the other one is broken first

 

[Solarstarshines]

I stressed my Pc underload with IBT and Cinebench my PSU fan did spin not once during those test

It should have done something even though it wasn't that hard of a load correct ? start up the fan attemps to move but stays still you think this could be the culprit ?

Just contacted XMS Yellowbeard with Corsair i'm going to see what his answer to me about this is

Could be and that would account for the hot PSU. I'd not use a sub-par PSU as that could damage something. Buy a new PSU and RMA the AX860 too, then you'll have a nice backup/test PSU.

That's what i am thinking they don't even have the AX850 on there list of RMA's all 860's :sarc:

I still went ahead and RMA it the best i could looks like i'll be going for that 1050watt silver rated corsair which should still be a good investment cost me 124.99 it's on sale right now the gold version is 209.99 you tell me what is a better deal ?

 

[Britton30]

I'd jump all over the 1050 Silver.
No RMA list for all of 860s?

Sure did got me a 1050W Corsair the tech at the store said if the fan didn't turn on from boot then it is a dead fan because i told him when i start up it attempts to move and then bam it is just there

Underload it didn't budge so i'll chalk it up to a bad fan and will be starting the RMA again per Brittons advice finding my right supply

Although I said I didn't think it was the PSU, unless something was physically wrong with it, I am still surprised that is what it ended up being. Glad you got to the bottom of it, and sorry I wasn't more helpful.

Yeah it was one of those things because when I cranked up the 1050 the fan spun right away hence when booting up with the 850 the fan attempted to move but stayed there paper clip trick wasn't too fond of doing so yeah visual inspection with load and boot nada

 

[Solarstarshines]

System's been running well over an hour now I think I'm good

 

[AddRAM]

How old was that Corsair PSU ?

Something like a year and some change I already hit Corsair up but im going to call them in the Morning to correct the PSU I stated I told them I had a AX860I because I couldn't find my AX850 on there list

as of now I got a HX1050 rolling the AX850 will go into my other Bulldozer rig with my other water cooler just a Push config no high OC

Just need to buy some ram and i'm set

 

[AddRAM]

I`m sending back my HX650 later today, it came with a chirping bird at no extra charge. LOL

I was reading a few customer reviews about my PSU and tons of people said Corsair is loosing quality

I can't say really but I have had the PSU for about a year and a few months

 

[Britton30]

There is a common thought that all Corsair PSUs are made by Seasonic. some are made by others. It may be it's the non-Seasonic ones. The HX650 is a Seasonic though, I have and use two of them.
