Yo

Haha, I've been trying to get my hands on old CPUs too; what are you doing with yours?

I will not be crunching or anything for a while probly; I got home today and my rig was off, started it and it shut down with CPU fan error. The pump isn't starting; I tried connecting it directly to a different power supply even, and nothing. Idk why it would fail, its not very old

I can't tell because I don't want anyone stealing my idea. I think it could be cool. Plus I have been mulling about with it for some time and have a couple of Ideas for their re-use. As something else, they were not intended for.

Booo!! Good luck finding a new, better, PSU!!

Maybe someone here could find one for 'ya!!

BTW, for those counting...Corsair PSU, Dead.

The only psu I have had die on me so far was a corsair cx600 like his. I RMA'd it and then the RMA flamed up too.

Arjai · Jun 9, 2014

There are too many to count, but it always seems, to me, Corsair PSU's = Dead Psu.

They make lot's of nice things, PSU's not true. IMHO.

Maybe there's just a bad batch of CX600's around?

I've been through a Corsair AX1200, HX850, TX750, TX850, TX650, CX500, CSM650, and a CX430 (x2)... all of them are still running. The only psu's I've bought that crapped out were a Silverstone Strider 600w (died after 3yrs) and a Seasonic M12 II 750 (defective- replacement runs perfectly)

EDIT- and a TX550 (forgot that one)

I am not saying corsair is bad, but the CX brand is their cheapest. I got my cx600 for $25 on a shell shocker.

xvi · Jun 9, 2014

Failed PSUs in order, Enermax 450w (many years ago), BFG LS-550 (doa), BFG GS-650 (recent, need to confirm).

manofthem · Jun 9, 2014

I believe the CX line would have issues if ran maxed 24/7 like in a cruncher or folder. I still have my old HX1000 that cruncher for a while and with the gpu unis, and it's still strong. Now onto a used AX1200 and I trust the same will be of this unit.

In the beginning, I didn't understand the whole value of a psu, but now it's something that I definitely wouldn't skimp on. In fact, from here on out I'd like to get Gold rated psus only.

My old CX500 is in the cruncher rig that @ThE_MaD_ShOt built for the last challenge that @james888 won- had absolutely no problems with it through a couple of builds. I do run well below the rating on the unit so maybe that helps. Also, iirc @HammerON ran a CX750 in one of his rigs and ran a pretty hefty load on it for awhile.

Is CX a value line?... yes! However, it looks like the CX600's are the ones really having issues

stinger608 · Jun 9, 2014

Plus Norton, I believe that rig I won has a CX series of power supply in it. Hasn't had a single hiccup yet.

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Jun 9, 2014

Im running 2 corsair psus in crunching rigs and no problem what so ever. I also bought both used. I think the tx750 I got from Norton a year or two ago. Runs great. Hell I have a cheapie raidmax 600 watt in my i7 rig and it has been rock solid.

librin.so.1 · Jun 9, 2014

Well, I went over to my university this morning. All the cruncher were out. Badly out.
One word: Thunderstorms.
'nuff said.
Kept my crunchers out since friday evening. *sigh*

Also, BOINC in the computer I build for my dad somehow updated itself. [???]. And due to this update, it dropped the account for some reason. [also, ???]
Was not working for over a week :shadedshu:

Fixed it today, too.

That CX corsair in the cruncher rig I will be receiving is tried and tested. I have good faith.

Might rejoin the team soon... not sure how much power my 3GHz Q6600 can crank our but hey it's something...

I'd like to upgrade but I'd have a very hard time coming up with the money to do anything right now... not worth it to buy a different 775 chip and a whole platform upgrade would be rather clostly.

ChristTheGreat · Jun 11, 2014

Main rig will be down this week-end. I will be starting to build my loop, finally. Finishing to sleeve my pump power and speed sensor this week, then it will be the time to build it!

Sounds pretty awesome, share some pics with us when you finish up!

ChristTheGreat · Jun 11, 2014

I will for sure

I can't wait to build this up. Too bad, I have no GPU in for, as my HD7970 DCU2, can't find a good used block, I doN't want to pay 130$ for xD, at that price, I will buy a used 290 and put one on it, but I will wait for next gen GPU.

Was suffering through a bit of a heat wave, past couple days have seen average temps of 104F. Although I wanted to see just how well the abundance of radiator in my loop would handle extreme heat, I shut it down since I wouldnt have been able to monitor the results.
