Hi Everyone,

I think my S4 PSU died this morning, I have only had the machine 3 months or so and i think the psu is dead, could anybody help me figure out if it is and how i go about replacing the PSU

I woke up this morning to find one breaker on my board had tripped, I checked the S4 and the PSU doesnt show any signs of life at all, I have checked the fuse and thats ok, but the psu does not boot at all, is there anything i can do to fault find.

I know i had one of the newer PSUs that didnt have the issue the first batch did, and the S4 has been running flawlessly since i purchased it, just a bit depressing to see one of my best machines go down Sad

Any help would be really appreciated.

cheap psu can cause that, never buy a cheap psu, is the important component, you can try to return it but in the end i would suggest a corsair or seasonic

850w should be enough for the s4

850w for an s4??? Roll Eyes

Hate to tell ya this but my s4's running stock speed and Vcore draw between 1,250 and 1,375w from the wall as reported by my UPS's.
My S2's report 1,039w again @ stock speeds.
