A couple weeks ago I was working on installing a Gigabyte S3 mobo after killing my P5W DH (yea, it fell off my work bench..) and was having some serious struggles. Couldn't get the board to post with 4 sticks of PQI 512mb... Checked everything, couldn't figure it out for hours so I went back to my trusty asus P5ND2+805 and couldn't get that to post either (one of those days where you just can't get anything right...) So I switched the 12V plug into the other side (board has the 8 pin EPS) and forgot to unplug (and turnoff) the PSU...

And of course I hear the famous 'POP!' The PSU hasn't worked since. I've been stuck with a 430W Cooler Master 19amp 12v trying to power an S3, E6400@3.2ghz, 4x512mb PQI Turbo, vmodded 7600GT, 1 SATAII hd, 1 Maxtor IDE, DVD-RW, Corsair Nautilus 500 WC Kit. Suprisingly, it's worked, but at any FSB above 400, it won't completely post. Problem is obviously the PSU, I've tried everything, running at the bare minimum ect., and not much help. Any voltage increases and it won't post.

Anyways, sorry if you just read that all and probably wasted your time, but my question is; Where is the fuse in this PSU? I really think I just blew the fuse in the PSU and just need to replace it (radio shack here I come.)

Im not an expert like most of the others here,but from my experience they are usually located at the rear{inside} next to the fan,the 80mm one.
I would try to jump it first.

green to black?

Jumper is green to black for turn on, but if one PSU works and this doesn't, a jump isn't going to help.

Open it up and you should see a 5 x 20 fuse on the board. Hopefully in snap clips and not soldered in place like it is on the Antec Trio. :(

Yea, I think it's soldered to the PCB. It's under warranty however. Might as well just send it in.

Is this the same base unit as the one you reviewed awhile ago? The aesthetics are definately different, but the power ratings appear the same. Luckily the PSU never sees much on the 12v, considering I only have a single 7600GT which doesn't even use the extra PCI-e connecter. Does the power to the PCI-E slot run on the same rail as the CPU?

I've noticed many cheap PSU's L&C,DEER,Powmax ECT. have soldered fuses
I was going to point this out before,but not being a cheap PSU,he might be lucky.
Hell,if you can,just RMA it.

Yea, I just packed it up and printed off everything to send it out. Hopefully it only takes them a day or two to send it back. Hopefully they send it overnight or 2 day, because it's going from Massachusetts to California. I love how you don't have to remove the 'warranty void if removed' sticker to get to the insides.:rolleyes:

You're on your 3rd RMA for your 7900GT KO Superclocked??? I got one in august and it was DOA. It was one of the old SKU's... Still have it sitting here, I think I'm going to send that one in too. First two things I've ever returned (besides a keyboard/mouse combo from staples lol.)

Have you got one that works yet?

Thats right:mad:

Mine is not a SC, Thank GOD! reg 7900GT KO, it ran at SC speeds{600/1600}
better then it did stock{500/1500}:p
If it's the old 560 series,RMA it.
They have bad memory.
where did you buy it from?
If you reg. it at eVGA ,you should be able to RMA straight thru them.
Mine was the old 564-AX, and I'm still trying to get one of the 7900GT KO reloads{584-AX}:mad:

yea it's the N567-BX, one of the one's with the dead memory chips. The reload's have a different brand of memory. Already submitted my rma for it about a month ago and never sent it out.

You will have to do it again,if you went thru eVGA, their RMA#'s are only good for 14 days:(
