Well folks, bad news I'm afraid.

My PCP&C 510w ASL SLI decided to crap out on me last weekend and take a bunch of stuff with it. The list of casualties is pretty staggering....

FX60....dead.
Expert....dead.
7800GTX 512....dead.
seagate sata drive....dead.
Sony DVD....dead.
Mitsumi FD....dead.
Mach II controller...yep dead too.

Surviving hardware was 2 raptors, 1 of my 7800GTX 512 cards, my crucial ballistix (isn't that ironic) and my X-Fi card. So far this stuff seems fine, but given everything taken out, these items may exhibit signs of trouble down the road. Who knows.

Not sure what the hell happened, but given the recent threads about PSUs and power hungry SLI, I guess the PCP&C was just over worked. It must have surged badly.

Needless to say, this is a pretty big set back. I'm gonna need to circle the wagons for while. I've parted out my Multimedia rig to raise cash and combine my best remaining parts from both PCs to get me one solid system. I'll be getting the Mach II fixed and then it'll be up for sale along with most of my water cooling gear. Gonna lay low for a while and lick the wounds

Anyways, more importantly than me whining about my hardware death, is a warning to everyone out there....be careful! If you are running an overlcocked FX chip and big SLI/CF cards make sure your PSU is up to the task!

I'll be hanging around and chatting, but it'll be while before I step into the dep end of the pool again

but guys suggest me wht to do!!!!!! :@ :@ :@ :@ damn power needs!@@#$%^:no: :huh: :huh: :huh: :ashamed: :ashamed:
 
I have come across threads like the one from XS before and I have seen pictures of what the insides of the cases looks like after such an event - NOT PRETTY believe me - everything has burn marks. It is unbelievable how much hardware a POWER SUPPLY takes with it when when it dies with a BANG !! :O

and.... the sad part is ... I asked Prime what would happen in such an event when the power supply blows and damages other hardware ... his answer is not good news..... accroding to Prime the Power Supply guys will replace only the Power Supply and the other hardware guys will say ... " Hmmm Burned ? too bad for you ... burn damage is not coverd under warranty !!" :O .....HAVE A NICE DAY !!
