i posted in the wrong forum yesterday, my bad.
Ok. i just set up my water coolin system. I ran 3dmark for a while, temps on everything were super. cpu was at 28*C, chipset was 28*C. I looked at my graphics cards temps, one was at 35 and the other was at 5, hmm 5?i was just like eh oh well no biggie, it still runs great. I have a 650watt power supply. I put a higher cfm fan in it a while back, ran great for 3 months. yesterday i decided to go ahead and run the fan at half speed to cut down on noise.
I ran 3dmark for a while, it started getting a it choppy, was getting worse and worse, so i turned the program off and was like hmm, why the heck is this getting jumpy. So i started a game to test and see if it was the program, and bam my computer turned off and i smelt crappy ozone comming from my psu. i then realized that it had probably overheated because the inlet was partly blocked by wires.
So i went ahead and tried again, the pc ran for 15 secs then i saw smoke come outa my scsi card. The smoke actually came out of the trace on the card that connected it to the pci bus. It was the -12v pin.
I ordered a new psu. now what i am tryin to figure out, since it was the -12v pin that fried on the pci card, do you think that other components are damaged?
Im not sure what a psu does when it overheats, does it overvolt or undervolt?send voltage spikes or what. If it messed the mobo up, when i plug the new psu in, it might go up in smoke too.
thanks
