My cx600 corsair just died after only 2months of use.
I was using it with my radeon hd 7970 which has a minimum requiiement of 500watts.
Not sure if I should trry doing an rma or finding a better one§ instead. Living halfway across the world frmo all major pc tech sellers itshhardto do anything.
For now its back to faithful generic 300watt psu and my partner in crime rd hd 5570. Unfortunately they just cant make the cut for what I do.

For any doubters out there IT is most definantly dead. I tried doing multiple versions of the paperclip test.
Im using a tablet to witr this and my bluetooth keyboad is out of batteries so lots of spelling mistakrs n stuff.

Share your thoughts if any as well as any other hardware failures and what youve done about them.

Dead computer.
Turned it into a high powered laser that is is now in the dump.

Cake Faice:
Gah, I've always hated it when my PSU's fail on me. I had a reary nice Apevia 500w that managed to shit out, so I had to remove my radeon 6850 (sadness), switch to my backup 300w and run everything off of onboard gpu until I bought a new one.

I had the same problem with my CX500 that died in a month, I just bought a new power supply NOT the CX series, a new power supply all together.
