2 years ago I got rid of a raidmax unit I bought as a temp after my corsair HX1000 melted my motherboard. The raidmax (as I expected) started giving me issues shortly after. I RMAd the unit and bought a Seasonic 1200 platinum. You dont hold up the rest of your parts with a $40 PSU as they say so I spoiled myself. It was around $280 when I bought it. All the bells and whistels of the series of course.
Yesterday afternoon my roof collapsed. My office and everything in it are destroyed. I recently bought the house from a family member that was going to lose it. Too keep it in the family I bought it on the cheap (it had around 10k left on the mortgage) The house needed work and as such my quote for insurance was more than I could afford so I didnt get it and decided to ride it out until the wedding in the next few months was over and done with and I could put money toward repairs.
So naturally I cant claim on anything iv lost because there is no one to contact. My main machine was in that room along with alot of other tools and electronics me and my fiance use. My monitors were cracked and destroyed from the ceiling, My peripherals are all water logged and no longer working.
There was alot of water on the floor and my UPS was flooded and shocked my fiance when she got home and attempted to unplug it.
My machine was on a little roller tray and was actually off the ground about 1/4". I also dont leave my machine on I shut it down everynight because electricity costs money. After the initial freak out and cleanup and calls to try and get new quotes on a roof replacement I cant afford I came into work today because missing a day isnt an option.
I brought my machine into my shop and after getting some customers out of the way I began the tear down to see how boned I was.
I am still pretty boned, however all of my HDD/SSDs pass and my GPU is in my bench machine and im typing on it right now. My board and CPU have yet to be booted but my water cooler pump is working on a machine next to me. I have all my data backed up so it honestly wouldnt kill me to lose them but they are expensive to replace if I needed to do all of them.
My PSU however didnt make it. It provides no power has no water damage and no scoring on the modular cables. Given how off the ground it was and the fact that my UPS was water logged and destroyed I can only come to the conclusion that the UPS urged and the PSU took it for the team.
I havent tested all of my parts, and honestly my PC is the least of my concerns given my situation and the fact that even if it did work I cant use it.
I would like to spread the word though and I want to praise SS a bit, if that is indeed what happened while it is a bit heart breaking it is the reason I bought it. and if the board and CPU work it did what I wanted it to do.
I wont by RMAing it, it seems sketchy and unfair to the company. However I have nothing but praise for the product and will happily when the bank allows buy another unit.
Thank you Seasonic for saving me hundreds of dollars in a full rebuild.
