orama,
thx for update!
i got one corsair 1050 hx running.
is that also a problem or just the 850???
Mate, cannot say. Not what i've been focusing on to be fair. Gut feeling it's part of the same brand/model family, so I would rather take a swerve. It's supplying to much current from what I understand. Something about a safety in the PSU being triggered and the cap smokes after the PSU is switched back on. They don't have every brand of ATX here to test. Anotherhost popped by with theirs is what I heard, it just so happened that on all those reported it was the same PSU at fault. It's an ongoing investigation, but if you want to play it safe, for sure the Corsair V850 has not shown any problems this end, and is used throughout the hosting currently.
This whole 'blame the power supply' story sounds pretty suspect to me. The power supply can't 'force' current into a board... There is clearly a board design problem here, and it looks to me to be highly unlikely that any specific known-to-be-fully-standards-compliant power supply would be more likely to cause it, other than simply being
capable of providing higher instantaneous current - which is clearly not a flaw in a power supply.
I imagine this will turn out to be something that happens when you do something like turning the power on and off at exactly the wrong cadence, or something like that. Somebody probably left a necessary diode out of the design.
is there a setup guide anywhere? or anyone willing to help me set it up as i'm having some issues.
