ALPHA17 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 ^ It is not necessary but if you get a ~600W -->650W piece it would be better for the long-term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Boss Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Don't buy or keep using any cheap PSUs. All your problems are because of that only. Never compromise on PSU. It is the most important part of your PC build. I suggest get one of the suggested PSUs ASAP and do a stress test and salvage what is remaining. Not sure what all parts are damaged in your PC now.

To add to these two replies Always face the fan-side of the PSU downwards in cabinet The PSU is an intake fan if it is pointed upwards it will suck in all the hot air from cabinet Sent from my Asus Zenfone 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALPHA17 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Hmmm... Okay. You need to do a thorough clean up this weekend. Clean the fans, for the RAM and the processor and the motherboard acquire some isopropyl alcohol to clean them up with a cotton swab / lint free cloth.
