hi guys my corsair hx 650w just went pop and blew the fxxxxng rcd under the stairs:shadedshu problem is it's a few days out of rtb warrantie (it's still under warrantie with corsair) 6 years according to the box so what do i do now ?
now my last hiper 520watt psu lasted over 7 years and cost a damned lot less
so it was no supprise i had to replace that, but this corsair hasn't really seen much stress at all (it was used on my old xp3000 ith a hd 3850 untill recently, when i put it in this new i7 920 build with a 5870 ) now just recently when i switched it on it had been making a loud bang kind of noise without smoke (yes i have got a surge arresting plug) which scared me , but i thought it was just the mains lead,so i tried several different ones but to no avail it still popped when being switched on , now everything works fine (thank god) so besides sending emails what happens next ?
why do i ask?
well this is the first thing i've ever had to send back, and as corsair is based in the usa i'm sort of concerned about shipping costs, i mean how much will it be ?
i'm sort of asking anyone from the uk who has had to send things back to the usa how much they had to pay and what cosairs like for repairs i want to hear the good the bad and the ugly
anyways luckily i had bought this ax 850 watt so i still have a pc
