@ronniebots9225 6 месяцев назад

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 6 месяцев назад

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.

@readycheddar 6 месяцев назад

That company seems to like shooting itself in the foot lately.

@animalyze7120 6 месяцев назад

@@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 6 месяцев назад

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 6 месяцев назад

@@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.

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.

In the past 38 years I've built many PC systems and I've bought a few from good SI when I just didn't have the time or desire to build it. I've always shopped around to make sure I'm getting a good deal on quality parts. Sometimes you can get the SI system for about $100 more and you don't have to deal with filling out all the warranty cards and you can get a 2-3 year warranty through the SI. That's when I find it's actually just fine to buy it pre built from them because you know what parts you're getting and they will fix any issues if you don't have the time to do it yourself. The lights on RGB fans do wear out over time. I've had to replace RGB fans once in a while so it's not a big deal. It also depends on the quality of the fans used by the SI.

@Demonslay335 6 месяцев назад

Precisely. My previous job was 12 years of IT, so I was building systems professionally on the regular, and was pretty up to date with hardware. Then 2 years after leaving that job (now more software-based, malware analyst), my wife needed a new gaming system... I felt so far behind on hardware to have the energy to source separate parts. There had been two whole CPU generations, and well, you know the game of what GPU is best changes per day... So I found a good rated SI, paid their premium, and have had 0 issues with the system. I have several "car heads" for friends, but they wouldn't go telling me to build my own car. You buy a car and just want it to go vroom, so why not the same with a computer?

Modular PSU pin out differences is not isolated to EVGA, most if not all brands have different pin outs even between models or tiers. I wouldn't be surprised even if they changed pin out from a same PSU model between a v 1.0 and a v1.1 or a refresh. That's why all tech channels warn you to keep your modular cables together with your PSU or PSU box and don't mix and match ever unless you know what you're doing and know the pin out. JayzTwoCents fried a SATA drive because he misplaced a SATA modular cable from some other PSU into a Corsair PSU's box he used.

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.

Hey Greg! I am really enjoying your channel! It has taught me quite a bit about computers. I am interested in learning more about building my own. Unfortunately, my time is a bit limited to dedicate myself to a classroom or any instructional facility. This is probably about as rookie a question out there, but are there any books you would recommend that could point me in the right direction? I learn best from reading, (and watching your channel ;) ). Thank you for your time with all of the great videos! All the best!

Hey, I'm a pc builder myself, I've been building quite a lot pc before. As my experience from building pc, gskill ram ( especially tridentz model to be specific), they tended to not work with ryzen cpu./ motherboard that well, if you receive the ram led, try to swap the ram that are in a2 to b2 and b2 back to a2, it might clear it out. If not just change it to different ram kit.

Missed opportunity to tell everyone the benefits of a good UPS to avoid issues like this. Great video as usual Greg.

@1300BlueStar 6 месяцев назад

A UPS will stop brownouts and power spikes but it won't keep a PSU from committing suicide. I've replaced a few PSU's over the years that have been plugged into good UPS's, fortunately the only downstream casualty has been a couple of HDDS and a really cheap multi IO card.

@CakePC_Jake86 6 месяцев назад

now that you got the system to post I'm willing to bet the original ram would still work. Also could have plugged those fans into the other side of the hub to at least have tried something for the owner...

@nothingmuch6666 4 месяца назад

I knew it was gonna be (at least in part) a bad PSU after he described the issue. Had my brand new build die 4 days into use. Same symptoms. Troubleshooting revealed dead PSU. Replaced it and luckily all the PSU took with it was the RAM (seems like same thing happened here) which I was replacing with a different kit anyway.

@johnpaulbacon8320 6 месяцев назад

I have the smaller version of this exact case. in addition to the boards rgb software, the front leds could also be controlled by the LED switch at the top of the case. but am willing to believe that the power supply might have partially killed that hub because of the bad power supply.

@0o9ijnbhytgr 6 месяцев назад

Did you push the LED button on the front I/O of the case? It could just be turned off.

@Laforge129 6 месяцев назад

The Front RGB fans could be seperate and have a switch on the case to prevent them from lighting up. If you have the issue of sleeping while your case is going that can be a distraction. I did see the LED button on the case that could prevent the front RGBS on the fans from being turned on. Just a throught.

@johnt.848 6 месяцев назад

I would also check to ensure the LED cable from the fan hub is actually connected at the other end correctly. I did notice the Motherboard pin out on that hub had no cable so they can't be connected via the motherboard's software.
