Well fortunately the vid card and the SSD are probably OK...the motherboard is more likely to die when a power supply blows, than anything else.
As for the vid card and the SSD, they are still under warranty?????

/e That 980Ti is too new...it has to be still under warranty, probably the same is true for the SSD.

Should be, both are less than 6 months old. I don't have them registered though and no receipt. Would likely be sol.

Where ever you bought them should still have a receipt. Most e-tailers will have a record of your purchase, when you log into your account. I know Newegg and Amazon do.

/e That's assuming you bought them new, and not off fleabay or the like.


The power supply even when it was brand new was a piece of shyt...

Actually think both are newegg. Can't believe changing a fan turned into this lol... also have to make a 2 hour drive to jacksonville tiger direct to get the parts quick.

I was extremely poor when I bought the psu, was a baller on a budget.

It's not the fan...like I said that PSU is crap, even brand new it was crap. That's the 1st PSU, I've ever seen that has only 70% efficiency. Even a bronze rated PSU is 80% efficiency.

/e You can log into your newegg account and they will have a record of your purchase, that will count as a receipt. You will have to return them to the manufacturer ofc, but the newegg history of your purchases, should be enough.


/e get a new PSU first, and the case too....then rebuild the comp....carefully, and see what else may have died.

I just checked on Newegg...my "Order History" goes back all the way to 2011.


/e After you log in...click the little down arrow by your name and click on order history, then pick the time frame, when you bought the vid card and ssd.

The motherboard may be dead, but it just as likely that nothing died. You can't tell till you get a new PSU.

Shitty psu I understand, even though it has lasted 3 years. However it was completely cooled off while I was working on the fans, and what is wrong with the fan configuration?

By fan configuration I mean, I don't believe the radiator can be flipped to face the back of the case on this mobo. I may be wrong but I believe it only fit one way.

Its a heatsink, Not a radiator.

Radiator = water
