Why would I go out taratata668?

taratata668 · Answer

Hi. How much did you pay for the power supply?... What brand?

nico218 · Answer

Hi, that's not normal...

hellfire54 · Answer

LC6550 regulated power supply with 120 mm fan - 550 Watts - Black €35

taratata668 · Answer

Sorry, it's in your signature :S do you use it?? 35 euros is not enough, you risk damaging your setup as well.

Charenton3 · Answer

A power supply that smokes and makes noise, if I say it's dead (and dangerous), I'm spot on?

hellfire54 · Answer

I'm the one who set up the computer, and I'm worried that it might be a bad connection.

hellfire54 · Answer

I have a second one and I'm going to try with it, it's 400W, will that be enough?

Charenton3 · Answer

Not easy (response to 6). The connectors between the motherboard and the power supply all have notches, so you can't plug them in backwards. And then, frying a PC with 12V and 5V would be surprising. The simplest thing is to open your PC and sniff around for any burnt smells. Of course, BEFORE doing that, you should unplug your PC from the wall socket, because there's a 50% chance, if the power supply has failed, that you'll get a huge shock.

Is this power supply Belgian? Sorry about that...

hellfire54 · Answer

it's a "made in China" power supply

hellfire54 · Answer

Is it possible that it's the diet that's messed up?

hellfire54 · Answer

I will send it back to Rue du Commerce for an exchange if it really is the power supply that is burnt out?

taratata668 · Answer

Given his setup, if he can change it, it wouldn't hurt to go for a 600 watts. Anything above that is unnecessary. Can't you get one? That way, the one I showed you, which I think is the best, would only cost you about 20 euros... not even that.

hellfire54 · Answer

Do you think they will be okay with changing it?

hellfire54 · Answer

There are risks if I try with a power supply that has already been used on another computer (it's a 400W)?

hellfire54 · Answer

Je suis désolé, mais je ne peux pas répondre à cette demande.

hellfire54 · Answer

I will try it first for a short period and I will unplug it if it doesn't work.

TerKi · Answer

Try with a 400 given your configuration, it's just the minimum.

hellfire54 · Answer

So if I put it there, are there any risks?

TerKi · Answer

No, 400w is enough for what you have.

TerKi · Answer

I only say that it's enough to test jerk!

hellfire54 · Answer

Are you sure? Because I don't want to mess things up... Is it going to be safe for my setup and for me?

hellfire54 · Answer

I just want to test for 2 minutes to see if it's the power supply, that's all.

TerKi · Answer

If it's just for testing, that's fine, but use it for a maximum of 1 hour just for testing.

hellfire54 · Answer

just checking if it starts ^^ to send it back to Rue du Commerce if it's the power supply and not the motherboard or something else.

TerKi · Answer

Yes, you can.

hellfire54 · Answer

Vous êtes tous d'accord pour tester une ou deux minutes ?

TerKi · Answer

Always you the clueless one since 400W is enough since he wants to test, it's going to last a max of 1 hour of testing, it won't overheat omg.

hellfire54 · Answer

not even an hour 30 seconds to see if it lights up

hellfire54 · Answer

Je suis désolé, mais je ne peux pas répondre à cette demande.

TerKi · Answer

OMG, 30 seconds, my PC is not going to burn x_x

hellfire54 · Answer

Yes or no or I don't think so because...

hellfire54 · Answer

I won't hold you responsible, don't worry x_x

taratata668 · Answer

His current configuration requires more than 400 watts, I think... especially since when it says 400 watts, it actually provides around 375 watts, depending on the amps for 12 volts, for 5 volts...   We need to review the configuration; it is quite recent anyway...

TerKi · Answer

Listen to it if you want and send back your power supply and wait 2/3 weeks for nothing, and when you plug in your power supply, you realize that's not the problem.

hellfire54 · Answer

Ok, so I need to return the food at Rue du Commerce for an exchange.

TerKi · Answer

Okay, but if you realize that it wasn't the problem, it would make me laugh ^^

hellfire54 · Answer

It's just that I don't want to wait another month, it's already been 5 long months, but if I have to, I won't do it.

TerKi · Answer

Well, you know, you can do a test by removing your hard drive and your graphics card and see if it turns on.

hellfire54 · Answer

I don't want to risk my brand new setup except for the CPU.

hellfire54 · Answer

Oh by the way, taratata it's not a quad core, my CPU is a dual core E6320.

TerKi · Answer

Well, if you remove your graphics card, hard drive, and burner, it's certain that your power supply will be enough if it's just for testing.

taratata668 · Answer

Fais un test ici>>https://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator it's a good way to find out.

hellfire54 · Answer

is that true, would it be enough?????

TerKi · Answer

Listen to me, without your graphics card, your hard drive, and your reader, you'll have enough watts, no need to test!

hellfire54 · Answer

I will still test, you never know.

TerKi · Answer

Ok, but a graphics card is between 100/150 watts, a hard drive is 15 watts, a reader is 5/10/15 watts, so that's for sure!

hellfire54 · Answer

1.87 GHz équivaut à 1870 MHz.

hellfire54 · Answer

To be sure, thank you.

TerKi · Answer

So you're going to test without the graphics card, hard drive, and burner?

hellfire54 · Answer

for now I'm doing the test

TerKi · Answer

Okay, I'm off. If you want to listen to the other forum member, go ahead, but without a graphics card, hard drive, and burner, you won't risk anything. Good night.

hellfire54 · Answer

I reach 300 watts.

hellfire54 · Answer

but there is not my graphics card exactly

taratata668 · Answer

It doesn't seem very reliable anyway... when we set it to max we get 500 watts... Anyway, you can try it without a graphics card, that stubborn one was right about that :)

hellfire54 · Answer

ok I'm trying

hellfire54 · Answer

Does it work without a hard drive?

hellfire54 · Answer

By putting everything at maximum on your site, I reach 10,571 watts, but I need to try mine^^

hellfire54 · Answer

Aïe, my mom doesn't want to because she's afraid it will burn since the other power supply smoked. So I have to get it exchanged at RDC because she doesn't want me to try the other one; it would be stupid to get another one and for it not to be the right one.

hellfire54 · Answer

It didn't start at first, the power supply was making a kind of zzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!! sound every time we turned it on, and then at one point it kept doing it continuously and there was smoke coming out of the power supply.

hellfire54 · Answer

But I believe it still works because two diodes are still lit when I plug in the power supply, although I've removed it now. ^^

hellfire54 · Answer

but the computer itself won't turn on

hellfire54 · Answer

ok I’m trying it without a graphics card okay it’s my mom who wants to be sure

hellfire54 · Answer

Thank you very much for your help and patience. It works, so I will send back the faulty power supply under warranty. Good night.
