no. Its not the controller at any way possible what-so-ever. Odds are it was just the PSU going bad. If something were draining too much power you system would simply give you a blue screen and shut down to prevent such a thing. Corsair is a pretty good brand so it shouldn't go out as easily.lordlunch2
Tripping the OCP or OVP wouldn't cause a BSOD; the system will simply lose power. I'm guessing this isn't the case though, as a good 650W unit should easily be able to handle any single card system on the market today while having ample headroom.
I couldn't discern if the OP's old PSU is still functional, as his post isn't detailed enough on the problem and the condition of his old supply. Assuming it still works and exhibits the same issue seen on the new PSU (powering down after some gameplay), I'd guess that a component is overheating in his system and tripping the thermal protection, causing the shut-down.
[QUOTE="swehunt"][QUOTE="inmate85"] My CPU is too good with the TRUE heatsink. I dont' think it will overheat. Well as I running my Furmark, I can see the temp of my gpu slowly heating up. How long should I run it?inmate85To what good is it to have an awsome heatsink when all air it sucks has high temps? - Your heasink don't matter if it is using very hot air from the inside of your case! You should run it till the temps do not rise anymore, run it a half hour or so and keep the sidepanel on. - Because that is how you would have the PC normally anyhow? If it is unstable, that's why the temp move up so fast right? That could be the case's airflow too.
Nah, im saying the temps migth be why it is unstable not the other way around. ;)
Yes, if the airflow is bad some hot air will remain inside and do not exhaust as it is intended to do, as the airpressure want's to level out new cold air should be sipping/be pushed (either being sucked by the underpreassure or pushed by a fan to the inside) in and that do not happen with to little airflow and that is why to little airflow can heat up all hardware inside your case.
Don't worry bout it rising to fast, that is perfectly normal as many chip do reach *almost (*this is partly why you should run it for a time as full temps do not occur directly, but it may heat up a bit over time) their temperature very fast but heatsinks (atached to the chip.) may struggle to deliver the correct/adeqvate cooling because a) the ambient temperature is to high (as in bad airflow or a very hot climate/high room temperatures) b) the cooling solution do not provide the cooling needed for the fitted chip. (yeah, some graphic cards have bad cooling, but this is very unusual as many modern Graphic PU's can handle heat to even 120c before the damage is there, but they do often auto shut down looong before that.)
