this sucks (hardware failure)

RMA it, corsair is very good about warranty stuff. I RMA'd two sticks of ram I got 5 years ago, sent me two new ones no questions asked.

They just sent me a package label, and I boxed it up and sent it out.

Might be a bit different since your overseas, but fairly certain they would work with you on it.

In my old compaq computer I use to have. It's 250w power supply (OEM) worked perfectly for 7 years without any dusting and it was only starting to fail when I bought my new one. It was powering a nVidia 6500gt and then a 6800xt

In my current computer, It came with a 300w OEM PSU. It still worked when I replaced it.

I'm using a Rocketfish 500w to power a GTX 460 atm and it has been running strong for about 4 years now. Rocketfish is basically a more expensive and prettier Dynex which are both BestBuy brands. Surprisingly very good.


If my current PSU fails I still have my old Radeon 5450 and 300w OEM PSU that hopefully still work.

Osme:
RMA it of course, unless shipping it back costs more than a new one, which is unlikely for a PSU.

Well I talked to coolz over ts3  about my specs and he said a cx600 wasn't enough to power everything I had.
The thing with the US is they don't ship overseas so the only way I could get an rma is to actually go there myself.
so I found an hx650 instead.
luckily the jp amazon store had corsair poducts which was amazing since they usually never have good pc products here.

I am pretty much "Overseas" as far as the rest of the US is concerned, and they didn't charge me anything for shipping.

Try going through the RMA process, its pretty simple. They have RMA depots in China, and Korea, so no need to go back the the US.

I have:
- high end workstation graphics card (V7900)
- 95W CPU (Q9450)
- about the most power hungry Northbridge in existence (780I SLI)
- 4 HDD's
- 5 fans
- wifi card
- sound card

And it all runs just fine on my 650W PC power cooling PSU.

Unless you are running 2-3 680 GTX's in the same machine, or a Dual Proc Mobo your 600CX with its 600W should be plenty for what you have.

Generally the only reason you buy something like a 700-1000W+ PSU is either you have multiple graphics cards, or you want the higher efficiency these generally give.


Ay any rate, even if you do get a new supply, I'd still look into RMAing the old one as a backup, or to sell it.
