I am guessing I was pushing the upper limits of my Enermax Noisetaker EG701AX-VE(W) but last night I had some friends over, and we were in the living room talking and all of the sudden we heard the sound of electical arcing and the POP! I went into where my PC's sit and smelled the smell of burnt electronics. My main rig (the one in my sig) was toast.
Pulled the PSU and replaced it with a Antec NeoHE that I pulled from my other system which also uses an EPS12v PSU. The only thing that died was the PSU. I am going to RMA it if I can, but I need to get this rig up and running fast.
I do NOT want to spend the money on a PC Power & Cooling 850 or 1kw PSU. They are great PSU's but the price is BS.
I was thinking about replacing it with another Enermax, but I am not sure. I think that I need more than 600 watts of power, but I am thinking I'll need to do it in two PSU's. (Which will still be cheaper than a PC Power & Cooling 1kw PSU.)
