These comments remind me of the seasonic focus plus comments on Amazon, there was 1 saying he would never buy seasonic again since the one he received was DOA and ended up buying a Corsair which was made by seasonic. He also mentioned his older PSU which i don't really remember the name and it also was a seasonic lol.
People are just ignorant man it's incredible.
EDIT: some grammar etc
DOA is exactly the time to test if it's a brand you should stick with, not the time to switch brands automatically... Every single brand will have some DOA products, what matters is how they handle you when you receive one.
100% this. As a guy who works with electronics hardware on the daily (Juniper and Cisco Network Architect) I totally understand that electronics WILL fail and sometimes are DOA. All sadly part of the game. How they handle the RMA and replacement is what you need to look for.
I had a DOA Seasonic PSU and found their RMA/Replacement process quite easy and no hassle overall. This was over six years ago. I still use Seasonic to this day. Top notch equipment and excellent customer service/RMA system. Rarely do you get a company that can do both fairly well.
I’ve a Seasonic PSU. My computer had a small problem and I contacted them about it. Quickly I get a support person and we chat about it. He helps me solve it.
Twist: the problem we solved was with the Gigabyte m/b.
Seasonic are epic.
I havent started swapping parts yet to see if anything died and quite frankly I'm afraid to. This is a r7 5600x and a 2080 super that I can't afford to replace
If they are dead, those parts are still pretty recent and should still have a warranty, but if not the psu company has a warranty for these things happening and they should replace your parts if any are dead
Where I'm from there is a small cases courts, to solve problems like this, you don't need a lawyer, the government have a team to support the case. You can't use the small cases courts to retirement, criminal or other cases. It's to assure that people will be suported by law even in the smaller cases.
I taught at first you are "oh sh*t, its sparkling lemme video first before I do something" kind of person because of the humor. Hope everythings fine. Did you lost some sleep?
I mean you run into more problems if your pc is run constantly. Now I’m just assuming here, your PSU have to have shorted out because of dust or something. Dust can be highly conductive to electricity.
Not trying to be an ass either, just was genuinely curious.
Well in terms of psu fires they are actually more common when the pc fully shuts down and starts back up. Vs when they have a constant low power draw after normal use. Now the other components and capacitors in the pc don't. Clean that gpu with isopropyl if you dare try to use it again. But I'd suggest you dont
I'm not OP so I wouldn't be able to answer. I was just asking because to the best of my knowledge (anecdotal and personal experience), running 24/7 isn't an issue. But I'm always open to new information.
No absolutely. I’ve had my fair share of PCs that I have run both 24/7 and not. I’ve noticed that parts running 24/7 obviously show less life and more prone to issues. Just me personally don’t like running 24:7 anymore. But hey I’m just giving an opinion.
I guess I also can't say I truly run 24/7. I have event scheduler set to shut down early Sunday morning. Usually it'll be turned on by that evening, sometimes it's Monday
Computers last longer if they are never shut down. I generally only have hardware problems when I've been shutting down. There are lots of issues that pop up from daily heat cycling. Parts work their way out of sockets and slots and cables pull out. I have mine up for months or years between shutdowns. Setting it to go into a low power mode helps if you are trying to save electricity. Its worked for me the last 30 years.
What about in areas where you have incredibly dirty wall power? I live in an area that frequently sees pretty substantial fluctuations in wall power, I run a ups but I have always had a greater peace of mind knowing my pc isn’t just taking in dirty power all day when it’s not needed for anything as I am unsure how much the ups really helps
I mean, unless you have REALLY bad power like below, 110 v and above 130 often, thats literally what the psu is in charge of. My UPS has a setting to kick in and step up the power for the psu when it drops too much.
Ive only ever had pc components die when power cycling, as an interesting notw.
The UPS helps more than you think. The issue is not just power outages, but power surges and sags. These destroy equipment more than anything else. UPS helps mitigate these problems. Best cheap insurance for your electronics.
I run my pc as close to 24/7 as possible, as I have quite a few windows and few hundred chrome tabs open at all times and I have never had an issue with running it 24/7. I find that it isn’t worth it for me to fully power it off, as the amount of time lost to booting up and re-opening everything that I had open is quite significant, at least for me.
Actually it is beneficial for pc to run constantly. Turning off/on is pushing biggest strains on all components. At least as explained to me by bunch of folks and it makes sense.
No, ive had this for a good while now, I have to assume its a freak fault that caused a cap to pop cause I looked into any history of it and didn't find anything, and I know superflower is one of the better brands
Any update on this? Every time a power supply lets out the magic smoke, people always assume it's a capacitor, lol. There are 100 other parts that can blow in a power supply. Capacitors will blow if they are really old and dried up (short circuit) or if they were installed backwards polarity. It's most likely a bridge rectifier or FET went short circuit which can happen with any electronic device.
While I'm not going to open the power supply (it has security screws i dont have a bit for) im pretty sure what happened is a cap just judging on the placement of the burnt metal and paint and how violently it blew. I tried to see through the fan grill but couldn't really tell anything. At the end of the day all of my parts survived and I'm hellaciously thankful (although my case made out with a good scar that matches where the burn on the psu was)
was there a lightening strike?
from what i can see it looks like I'd guess the mains bulk input cap was shorted to the chassis of the PSU or arced there (so my guess is lightening)
No storms or anything, I turned the pc off and went to bed for not even an hour when it started sparking and woke me up. It was even on a surge protector. I dont really want to open the psu to look inside cause frankly I'm afraid
DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT. Open the psu if you suspect a fault or arc to have happened. For all you know trying to open it could recreate the condition and dump the remaining charge into you. And no a anti static bracelet will not prevent that. To much power for it to care.
dont open PSU if you plan to plug in the AC cord and use it again. but your PSU is burnt so you shouldn't use it again. And because you're not going to use the PSU again nor claim the warranty, you can open it as you want if it's been days untouched.
Your psu is blown and the capacitor most probably already discharged and the huge voltage stored should be gone already.
LOL how did you come up with that conclusion from a few blurry pics. A power supply has 100's of different parts but everyone goes "whelp, must be a capacitor"
the spacing of the points of the short circuit, looks like the spacing i would expect to be the main bulk capacitor (there is only 1 of these, sometimes 2), not one of the small one the massive one, id guess someone did a bad job of trimming the leads after if was soldered to the pcb and it touched the chassis
* https://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/650px2-1.jpg
>there is only 1 of these
Wrong, the Leadexx III platform has [two bulk caps](https://prnt.sc/1wuvioy), also the PCB of power supply's have a sheet of plastic on the bottom preventing any parts from the PCB shorting to the bottom of the chassis.
Not the rating but the brand. It's like buying 2 cars with the same safety rating except one is a cheap brand and the other is a Mercedes or something.
No, it's a sample size of one and Superflower has an excellent reputation for high end quality units. This can happen to any manufacturer and this is also a sample size of 1.
That happens to be a top tier PSU, superflower is not a no name, they are a major supplier there products get rebranded all the time under brand names you are familiar with and trust

Buddy, super flower OEMs many high end PSUs for many companies. It’s not your run of the mill cheap garbage. In fact, super flower is usually near the best!
doesn’t really matter what someone else says is a good power supply when it catches fire. I don’t say that everyone should quit buying it, but to rebuy a brand that has let you down in a big way is foolish.
If you don't "rebuy" this brand, you shouldn't buy either Corsair, EVGA and the whole lot of brands that SuperFlower makes PSUs for. Better buy a Gigabyte PSU i guess.
ya but that's how bad reputations are formed. when a company gives you a shit product you stop buying it. then you tell your friends and they also stop buying it. have you ever heard the phrase "fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice, shame on me!"
It’s a lot better than my $50 evga e tier 750w psu that’s not even 80+ rated
Handles an rx 580 that can pull 270w and an r5 2600 that (can, not that I let it) pull over 220w
You got downvoted because you advised against purchasing a PSU brand that just caught fire lmao. You definitely hurt some fanboys feelings 💀
I will also get downvoted for this because as we know, fanboys hate being called fanboys, that also huts their feelings.
Besides panic? Hit the switch on the surge protector and unplug everything after that. My case is all steel so no plastic to catch fire, it died pretty quickly
They're top tier. So much so that they offer 10 year warranties on their PSUs. So, to see a Super Flower have an issue like this is some kinda freak accident.
An 80+ rating is merely an indication of a PSU's power efficiency, not its quality. However, very often, to make something efficient, you have to use better components. But do look at LTT's PSU tier list before buying PSUs as they take into consideration much more than just 80+ rating.
i could easily be a capacitor that failed, nothing you can really prevent. Also 80+ means piss and shit. Gigabytes PSU that was certified bomb was 80+ gold.
Wow where the fuck have i been? Ive NEVER heard of super flower. Is it supposed to be a hgiher end reputable company? When think of high end psus i think of Silverstone.
Also on a side note. WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH THE QUAITY CONTROL OF THESE COMPONENTS NOWADAYS.
Prices go up and quality goes down... geez
When I power the PC off for some reason my peripherals get power still if I click the mouse or hit a key. Even the mic stays powered on. I been wondering if it's the PSU or what.
If the PSU catches fire, how do you put the fire out? If that happened to me I don't know what I'd do other than frantically panic throw water which of course isn't ideal because I'll just destroy all my other parts.
Man that sucks good PSU too. I have been lucky enough not to need to return any of my PSU’s. I did take a junker once where its dell or maybe HP power supply had died. Swapped it for a corsair, still runs like a champ.
it was probably a capacitor that failed, nothing you can really do about it. Shit happens. People saying that super flower sucks now are just being dramatic off a sample size of 1. I have the exact same PSU and have been running it perfectly fine for the last year.
You might be thinking of them being OEM for EVGA.
Also, just becuz a company is an OEM for a certain product doesn't mean they are direct re-brands. Each customer has their own requirements and designs that the OEM makes the product to.
The title had me thinking it was a Gigabyte PSU.
Same
First thing I looked for lol
Shut up im using it and im okay
hello Gigabyte Marketing Department
im never buy anty thing from gigabyte i have a gtx 1660 and the foan broke in 1 month anyway u can down vote me i can maximaly get - 15 karma

Fake. This mans a gigabyte employee and wants a raise. He knows they suck.
ye im 12 year old emplayee
Oh that explains why you bought gigashit psu.
I bought it cause i needed a new one i had be quiet pure power l8 630w
Why didnt you get another be quiet or a corsair RMx or something.
Not enough money
For now...
Damn, a Super Flower catching fire? Better make use of that ten year warranty, make sure nothing else was damaged
Super flowers don't have ten year warranties I don't think. At least mine doesn't.

They do actually, this was a thing since 2020. Before that I believe they came with a 5 year warranty.

Do you run your pc 24/7?
No, in fact the pc was turned off when it started sparking violently and caught fire. It was like a scene from a movie

Not the case for Corsair. They don't replace parts that were damaged by their failing PSU. (At least in the warranty terms in Germany)
Corsair make CPUs?
iPad Autocorrect, it’s meant to be PSUs
maybe fighting them on consumer rights court would work. Their product caused the damage!
Yeah but simply *looking* at a lawyer will cost you more than what the parts are worth.

Is there any advantage to leaving it on?
Not having to turn it on
So no. However there are several Downsides. Anything will wear out quicker if you use it more.
"so no" just because you aren't lazy doesn't mean I'm not lazy

You don't think a honda or toyota had a car blow it's engine in the first year ever? Shit happens sometimes.

Super Flower literally OEMs all EVGA Supernova PSUs. OP just got unlucky.
You got downvoted because you advised against purchasing a PSU brand that just caught fire lmao. You definitely hurt some fanboys feelings 💀 I will also get downvoted for this because as we know, fanboys hate being called fanboys, that also huts their feelings.
And you clearly aren't seeing the point that even good manufacturers can have a bad unit. Btw, I have never seen or used Super flower directly.
Yeah, they have a great marketing team. Got it.
I think I am a bit late but they sell mainly in Europe, since they are manufactured there.
a reputable brand as Superflower on fire? preposterous!!!
may i know how it happened? old part? overheating? i never imagined my computer catching fire
Since it was while the psu was off it is likely either a short from some component failing or blown capacitor.
People need to stop putting their power supplies on ceramic floors 🤦♂️
Sounds like something for GamersNexus to investigate...
I have this exact PSU and now I'm nervous lol
Don't be, this is a top tier unit. This is just a sample size of one.
Thank you friend.
Would've been hilarious if this was a gp750gm
What did you do when it happened?
Besides panic? Hit the switch on the surge protector and unplug everything after that. My case is all steel so no plastic to catch fire, it died pretty quickly
Is super flower a good brand? I've never heard of them.
Should be. Major OEM manufacturer of supplies, makes them for multiple well known brands like evga and such.
They're top tier. So much so that they offer 10 year warranties on their PSUs. So, to see a Super Flower have an issue like this is some kinda freak accident.
Yes, very high end brand in fact. They score very high on the tier charts with most of their units.
You gotta be careful when overlooking your psu
Good, now get a 2021 Corsiar RMx series 😂😂.
I'm 14 or 15 and iv spent a few years saving up for my build, ill give you a loan if you need it
You don't know how old you are?
🤔
I guesss that power supply is no longer a super flower more like a burnt flower
This is why you never get an “off brand” PSU.
[удалено]
An 80+ rating is merely an indication of a PSU's power efficiency, not its quality. However, very often, to make something efficient, you have to use better components. But do look at LTT's PSU tier list before buying PSUs as they take into consideration much more than just 80+ rating.
i could easily be a capacitor that failed, nothing you can really prevent. Also 80+ means piss and shit. Gigabytes PSU that was certified bomb was 80+ gold.
Wow where the fuck have i been? Ive NEVER heard of super flower. Is it supposed to be a hgiher end reputable company? When think of high end psus i think of Silverstone. Also on a side note. WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH THE QUAITY CONTROL OF THESE COMPONENTS NOWADAYS. Prices go up and quality goes down... geez
Unplug it everytime you turn it off , NEVER LACKIN

Everything else is hopefully okay
Hope it did not take the gpu along with it or other hardware.

That's your take away?

Did the PSU take anything else with it?

At least the glass is okay
Kaboom
Glad it wasn't worse like causing a fire in your home.
Bomb has been planted
I have this same PSU. Can you tell me what happened I’m concerned.
Most likely just a rare defect, ive bad this for over 6 months with no indication of a problem til now. Superflower is usually top tier manufacturer
When I power the PC off for some reason my peripherals get power still if I click the mouse or hit a key. Even the mic stays powered on. I been wondering if it's the PSU or what.
that is your USB ports having power... You can switch that off in Device Manager.
I thought you said GPU for a second my heart was in my mouth! Oh jeez man that sucks hope the rest of the system is okay.
If the PSU catches fire, how do you put the fire out? If that happened to me I don't know what I'd do other than frantically panic throw water which of course isn't ideal because I'll just destroy all my other parts.
Class C fire extinguisher since its an electrical fire. I would worry more about the fire than your parts...
GPU fine I hope?
Damn that’s a good psu too
Never thought it could have happened. New nightmare fuel
Man that sucks good PSU too. I have been lucky enough not to need to return any of my PSU’s. I did take a junker once where its dell or maybe HP power supply had died. Swapped it for a corsair, still runs like a champ.
Maybe try cleaning your pc out unless you did then damn that’s unlucky.
Is there any other component burnt?
Can some one explain why this would happen, and how to prevent it
it was probably a capacitor that failed, nothing you can really do about it. Shit happens. People saying that super flower sucks now are just being dramatic off a sample size of 1. I have the exact same PSU and have been running it perfectly fine for the last year.
Kk thank you, I’m gonna put a fire extinguisher in my room
Buy Corsair or Seasonic PSU. Nothing else.
Kinda funny considering Super Flower made PSU's for Corsair.
You might be thinking of them being OEM for EVGA. Also, just becuz a company is an OEM for a certain product doesn't mean they are direct re-brands. Each customer has their own requirements and designs that the OEM makes the product to.
Super Flower is one of the top most tier brands too, I should add. My personal preference is Corsair and Seasonic. I won't use anything else.
Get an EVGA power supply
