Looking at the PSU box made me wonder if they really meant three years warranty. Looks more like 2½ to me. Thxs for sharing.My girlfriend and I built a PC for her son this xmas, nothing big. It was built using some new parts and some old parts I had over the years. He's only 8 years old and we wanted him to have his first PC be something to mess with and not have to worry about. I knew the PSU was of low quality but it was used before and was reliable enough unfortunately it seems to have fried the GPU and Mobo. Not sure about the CPU since I can't test it but the RAM and HDD is ok. The PC was showing symptoms of a bad PSU, it would just shut off randomly some days a couple times, some days it would go the whole day with no problems. I have had PSUs do this before and every other time the PSU would work until it just wouldn't turn back on. This one unfortunately took some parts with it.
It looks like the PSU pumped out too much and just fried the power traces in the mobo.
Even blew a SMD on the GPU I think.
Looks like the hottest spots have marks left on the case from the mobo but the case is fine otherwise.
Don't buy this PSU.
He doesn't seem too bummed over the PC being fried but he's only 8 and he still has an Xbox One to play. I think the excitement of it all may have played a part too especially since he was on chat with his cousin at the time. lol.
It's still unfortunate especially since his 9th birthday is on the 24th of this month. I have been scouring TPU's buy/sale/trade thread and HWC's same thread and haven't found too much plus we can't afford to buy much since his birthday is coming up and xmas just passed. If anyone knows of any amazing deals that I missed please send the links my way. We're from Canada so hopefully we can find something at a good price that will ship here. We're looking for a PSU, Mobo, GPU. If the CPU is dead then a CPU as well. The DDR3 memory is fine so whatever is found for mobo has to support DDR3 RAM or come with it's own RAM. The dead parts are a Athlon II X4 (Phenom II series - 2009) with a GA-78LMT-USB3 mob and a GeForce GTX460SE 1GB (Fermi - 2010)
Oh just if you were wondering there's no warranty on any of the dead parts as you can imagine.

Chances are the CPU is dead but you could check the CPU VRM section for damage. Might have to remove the heat sink.Not sure about the CPU since I can't test it but the RAM and HDD is ok.

Agreed. It's good that no one was hurt. Parts can be replaced, lives can not.Regardless, the main thing here is everyone is OK
Also agree here. People need to chill.Some people here are being overly harsh. Lesson surely learned. Move on.
