April 22, 20224 yr Hello I have built a new budget gaming rig. I was playing a game and suddenly there was smoke coming out of my PC. When I checked, it was my PSU that was nearly half fried. I don't know if it is any compatibility issue. This is my psu: https://www.getitequip.com/Antec-HCG-750M-Power-Supplies My current system specs are: GPU: GTX 3090 CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X RAM: Patriot Viper Steel DDR4-4400 (2 x 8GB)
April 22, 20224 yr If this is what your PSU actually looks like from that link Then you were quite literrally ripped off. That is a picture of a (for lack of a better word) piece of shit generic PS from 15 years ago. This is what they are supposed to look like General rule: Any PS that looks like what is in the link is garbage, old, not reliable etc and should never be purchased, or used even if it's free
April 22, 20224 yr Interesting page also on that linked site that would raise further red flags Average rating of 4 stars based on 3 reviews Except that further down, There's been a total of 0 reviews which gives it an overall rating of 5
April 22, 20224 yr you should count yourself lucky if it doesn't end up frying your motherboard and drives. If something is too good to be true, most of the time it is
