This has been my reliable Power Supply for my Battle Station from 2018 until now. Today when I turned on my RIG, she didn’t post… or do anything.

Tested this PSU on my older Motherboard, it didn’t post, and when I took my SO’s PSW it did.

I think my RIG will be fine, it was working with my older PSW. But only time (and a new PSW) will tell.

    My 750 watt power supply took a shit years ago, but I was planning on trying to fix it when I got another one for scrap parts.

    Once I finally got a scrap parts PSU, I opened up the 750W, and I found the bottom side of the board was covered in blackened soot, apparently ionized nicotine and dust.

    I cleaned all that shit off with rubbing alcohol, an old toothbrush, paper towels and Q-Tips. Apparently that’s all it took to get it working again, yay!
