I was this guy during my highschool years. I would buy 5-10$ PSU's for my PC that only had a IGPU. even then, it would still randomly die outta nowhere.
I managed to kill an EVGA power supply with my 1080 and i7... To be fair it was a 400 watt
Thing would power off under really random circumstances, could absolutely max out usage on CPU and GPU at the same time, it would stay on, try and run the wrong shaders in Minecraft? Shut right off, thing that finally finished it off was the derail valley "simulator" update, started to smell hot electronic smells, said fuck it and just kept running because... What else was I gonna do? Didn't have another power supply...
It died about a day later, I hopped on Amazon for my phone, bought an EVGA 610 watt expecting the usual 2 day shipping, nah, amazon said "fuck you" and didn't get it to me for 3 weeks
This is true pc building. PSU? That’s not very sexy, think I’ll get a cheap one and then put more to the GPU. YOLO! lol! The other day I saw a proper expensive multi thousand pound PC and it was plonked on a really shit desk..
You lucky bastard. Thats one of those that supports the polynuclear chip for the AMD and Intel chipsets, absolute jammy bugger. You better not let than go to waste
Not entirely comforted by the illustration on the box showing the PSU already on fire. On the other hand you won't be able to sue for false advertising I guess.
In the improbable event that it isn't; refund that PSU while you still can and get something that is actually 80PLUS certified and has competent specs. Non-certified PSUs like the one you have are EXTREMELY dangerous to use, especially on high-end equipment.
I mean, it says "Energy-Saving".
You're 100% good /s
