Is the PSU still functioning when you arrive, or are you making a mistake?
Is the PSU still functioning when you arrive, or are you making a mistake?
I just installed my Thermaltake Smart Series 600w PSU, connected everything, and turned it on. Nothing happened—even after trying to short the pins instead of using the power button. When I try to power it up, the fans spin for a brief moment before stopping completely. The PSU fan appears to click but doesn’t move much, just returning to its original position. It came with a warranty, which is nice, but I’m unsure if this issue can be fixed by myself or if it’s a hardware problem requiring a refund.
It's important to mention that the "shell" or whatever on the PSU wasn't there when I opened it, but I managed to push it down so it could reposition itself (I didn't do anything too extreme, by the way).
I looked at the power cord and the CMOS battery, but they didn’t show any issues.
The Corsair CX ones, excluding the older models with green branding, usually offer the most affordable PSUs for connecting any 70-class GPU. Although the 1070 isn't brand new, it's similar to an old car—higher-end GPUs don't become more affordable just because prices drop.
