I got a bunch of old components from my cousin last year and decided to try out them together. I discovered your channel and went down your fix or flop series for weeks and finally had the courage to put it together. It’s got an old 6th gen i5 and an rx580, I ran into crashes when I put load on the GPU. Found your GPU deep clean video and turns out it was old paste and a dirty heat sink causing thermal throttle.

I doubt poorly seated memory did any harm, and while there is no real way to know for sure I would lay the bad memory sticks on the supply failure and call it a day. After finding a bad power supply I just feel lucky when anything downstream still works. Great video!

@ThatKoukiZ31 2 ай бұрын

Yeah I bet the power supply killed the fan controller or the rgb lights as well. It'd make sense. All in all not a bad fix though!

@ronniebots9225 2 ай бұрын

ive had PC's since i was a teen in the late 80's. And everytime a PSU died you just started parying. Since any component can die and it will shut of PC and rarely take anything down with it, a PSU that dies always seem to take one or more components along with it to its grave. In this case with just the ram and that fan controller, i would consider myself lucky. A farcry from storage (m.2, ssd), CPU or GPU dying with the PSU. Or even a MoBo if its high end.

@StormsparkPegasus 2 ай бұрын

Apparently very recently, EVGA changed the pin-outs on their power supplies, on the same models. And if you use the cables from before the pin-outs changed (which there is ZERO indication of), it will send 12V to the 3V lines and fry things. The fact that the cables are not keyed to make this impossible is mind boggling. The connectors on the PSU end on modular power supplies are NOT standardized in any way.

@animalyze7120 2 ай бұрын

@@readycheddarThey didn't shoot themselves in the foot, they dodged a huge bullet not dealing with that HiPwr nonsense Nvidia was dishing out. They (As do all PSU companies) Specifically state to never use cables from another unit or brand to prevent these issues, if you do so then it's on you no one else, welcome to accountability.

@vest816 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for the heads up! This is definitely the kind of rookie mistake I would do if I ever had to replace my PSU. "Modular power supplies are so easy to install, I just have to replace the brick without replacing the cables!" would be the last thing my CPU hears before I blast it to the great beyond. It's good to be reminded that "modular" does not mean "universal."

@MXCN_El1011 2 ай бұрын

@@animalyze7120 Rossman did a vid on this the other day and it def is EVGA's issue here. Initially kicked off from someone discussing their RMA process. If you do an RMA, they specifically tell you not to send back the cables, but when they ship you the new unit, they dont include new ones or any sort of instructions to let the user know the old cables are not compatible. So the user that got the new unit just assumed the old cables would work with the new unit since it was listed as the same model number and this ended up frying their drives. Was only after they called up EVGA again that the support guy on the other end told them that the pinouts got changed at some point in the product lifecycle.

Just started the video and have gotten up to sponge bob reference. I would have thought faulty PSU first, back to vid. Also there are gamers using e-machines (discontinued 2013, prebuilds that were terrible for the price- worse than Dell prebuild terrible in price/performance) to this day, an rx 580 is a luxury to many and AM3 is well and truly alive in the used market- there is no doubt the building community is still much smaller than it should be but that will largely be due to cost and console gamers not grasping that pc are superior. That is why we have you and GN and JTC etc. Edit: Hell yes!!! 28 years building and fixing pcs I can say , nailed it! I appreciate you explaining product placement/agreements and it awesome, we would watch anyways. You have never once come off like an ad for tech-fluencing. I would worry long term any damage the faulty set up/psu (pinched cables?? That is bad) has caused. Obviously it hasn't blown any caps so that is good news.

Hi Greg, When I buy or repair a pre-built, a word pops into my brain: proprietary. If I suspect the PSU has gone South and I buy a new one, I affix small cardboard tags to the cables. I print the manufacturer's name, model number, and wattage on the tags and attach the tags to each of the included cables. By doing this, I assure myself that only the cables that came with the PSU are connected to that PSU. All PC owners should own a Power Supply Tester.

Your transparency says a lot about your ethical standards. It is a rare thing on KZfaq.

5VS (5V standby, also called 5VSB) on the power supply absolutely must work for the system to power on. Since it gives standby power to the mainboard, which is needed for the mainboard to turn on the power supply and boot the system. This isn't like with AT (and older) power supplies and mainboards which used a latching switch.
