So i bought my upgrade x79 extrene9, 3820, corsair vengeance, hyper412(need it to tie me over till noctua send me my 2011 brackets) put everything in and nothing, checked everything was plugged in right and replugged the psu and crackled then a loud pop...
Just wanted to ask if this is normal wear and tear(hx620 bought feb 2008) or I was underpowered.
my specs before upgrade (mostly below and then some):
gigabyte ep35 ds4
q6600
2x2gb transcend
2x2gb corsair xms
noctua nh d14
power color 6950 pcs++ (using 6950 bios)
asus xonar essensce stx ( front panel not plugged)
df-85 ( only using 2 of the front panel usb2)
linksys wireless n adapter
logitech g110 keyboard
razer naga epic mouse
1x500gb hdd
1x1.5tb hdd
2x2tb hdd
1xdvd writer
1xbd writer
i got the ssd front caddy plugged but no drive in it.
upgrade is above with mobo ram cpu and cooler swapped to:
asrock x79 extreme9
2 2x4gb corsair vengeance low profile
3820
cm hyper412
1x intel 330 ssd 180gb added. this is confirmed working since i plugged it in last week and it works.
edit: just to be complete. for the new build i plugged the hd audio to the stx and used the 4pin 12v did not plug this in previously.
I powered the pc b4 upgrade and it wont post for awhile power on fans run but wont post (kind of like trying to wake from sleep and failing like my old gb board.). I tried to replug the power plugs then it booted. did a bunch of stuff in windows but nothing intensive. powered down then performed the upgrade. after the upgrade it wont power up replugged and it crackled then popped.
btw, I already have an rma number for this. waiting on their reply to my mail on whether i should send the whole box with all accessories or just the psu(yep still got the box wid everything not plugged to the pc in good condition on the shelf) ust wanted to make sure im not underpowered. ocn psucalc says i need 615watts but just want to be sure ( cant be 100% sure as i dont have a pc. typing on mobile.)
thanks.
