Corsair CX 430 PSU Smoked

C

After working for about 4 months my PSU Corsair CX 430 Smoked. Yesterday when I switched on the computer it did not started and after few seconds smoke started coming out with a sound from cabinet. I think PSU screwed up. Its strange that I spent 2500 for this PSU and still it got burnt.

Personal view only, your config (mention in signature) doesn't show the real need for CX430.

Anyway, on topic, contact their support, see if anything can be worked out to repair !!!!

Corsair ASS ftw, they'll replace as soon as possible.

"Personal view only, your config (mention in signature) doesn't show the real need for CX430." --> Can u suggest any PSU? I'm thinking of using any cheap PSU.

I submitted RMA at Corsair website and according to them I need to send PSU to Hong Kong. It may cost well over any local PSU. Also I'm not sure if sending it worth. Any suggestions?

If you bought the psu in India then I dont think theres a need to send your psu to Hong Kong. Just contact their SC in India and ask them to give an equivalent replacement if the cx430 v2 is out of stock (which shouldn't be the case).

dont downgrade from corsair to local brands bro... as already said, Corsair ASS ftw!

I contacted thier support via email and told them that I am located in india and how I can get the service. This is what they have to say(Casual and irresponsible reply) I seriously doubt their reputation. :::

It would cost me more than 1K to ship this **** from my place to Hong Kong and I really don't know if it will reach them and they will send a replacement. Any advice?

No need to send it to hong kong.
Contact kaizen.

You don't need to send it to Hong Kong. Just contact Kaizen infotech, they're the authorized guys.

Ohh, it started to worry me. My Supercomp 400W lasted me 6 years till few months ago I purchased Corsair VS450. Will it smoke too ? Holly Somke :duh2:

Electronic components fails sometimes. But its not like that every component will fail. This is a rare case. So no need to worry

location? as advised, contact Kaizen.

also, be thankful that you are using a corsair psu bought for 2.5k. if you had been using Supercomp, then it'd have blown up and taken your entire rig with it (~15k, at current market rates, iirc)

which is better? dead 15k components or dead 2.5k psu?

should check this: Kaizen Infoserve Private Limited.
