PSU Replacement

[myuusmeow]

A few days ago (I think Sunday I don't remember) I was playing Dawn of Discovery/Anno 1404 when snap crackle pop goes the PSU, blue arcs of electricity shooting out the back, PC turns off, so much for upgrading my envoys... damn thing lasted 8 months.

raidmax is a pretty crappy company, you risk recking everything in your computer with it when it blows
You son of a...

Anyway off to Newegg, bought a nicer Corsair 400W and new HSF (old stock AMD one was very loud), they arrived today, quick turnaround from Industry to Ontario.
PSU seemed a lot smaller than the old one that came with the case, took a while to screw it in but its secure. New PSU with more than one SATA power port means I can use a DVD burner I had laying around.

HSF was pissing me off though, eventually I got it where both hooks were on but slanted, its secure and won't fall off though. So much cooler and quieter.

Ffffuuuu you jinxed it

at least you got more use out of it then the majority of other buyers which lasted a few days-hours

now you just gotta hope it didnt destroy other things that were hooked up to it
