So of about 5 boards that burned, 2 WERE NOT HX850:

FractionalReserve (from knc forum)
We were one of those who blew a cap (actually it was our board that burned with a lot of smoke and whistles). We were runing it on a Corsair HX1050 Gold.

My power supply is a rosewill lightning.

So you come on the forum and parade some theory that HX850's are the cause of the problem, when 2/5 were not HX850.

And you give me shit when I challenge you on that??

I am not an elec engineer myself, but yes it is particular PSUs.

Oh look, when I called you on it, it became not exclusively HX850's, but "particular PSUs".

Yes, but you come on here and act like one until someone calls your bluff.

If you deal in facts, you won't have any problems with me. But if you want to trot out nonsense, I'll call you on it. If you think that's harsh, too bad. You keep claiming you are en engineer. And I'll say it again - engineers deal in facts.

Deal in facts or you'll have to deal with me calling your bluff over and over again.

Jesus, no I do not, stop cherry picking. Never ever, ever on this board ever have I ever pretended to be an electrical engineer or have any knowledge of electronics. Engineering design yes, as that what i've studied, as I have mentioned numerous times. I have never lied, ever, you chose not to read or just troll, which to be fair with your constant and continuous negativity at every occassion is clearly the case. I stated perfectly well I am relaying brief conversations with General Electric's guy as and when he had time spare, and yes this particular power supply causes problems. You aren't calling any bluff, as there is no bluff to call. The problem occurs upon reset and spokes current to the board. Believe it or not this does actually occur in datacentres worldwide from time to time. It's not that out of the ordinary.
