This psu burned my cpu
The product came in with a damaged box and I started inspecting the psu and noticed a suspicious smell coming from the psu. I decided to test the psu on my rig and I noticed that there was smoke coming out of my 570x crystal case and disconnextrd everything right away.
I noticed that one of the sp120 fan cables was completely burned from top to bottom and the fan controller smelled like burned plastic.
I waited one day until all the smoke smell was compeletely gone from my room and the psu still smelled like burned oil but the rest of the parts that were not the sp120 fans didnt have any type of burned electronics smell coming out of them.
I troubleshooted the rest of the parts and I noticed that my processor died after the incident and I'm currently waiting for Corsair to assist me with this problem.
They asked me to send all the affected parts to their lab but I live outside of the US and it will cost me 100$ to just send the psu alone and cant even imagine how it will cost me to send the case and processor to their lab.
The 1 star review is well deserves
