my $300 PSU is now a $300 paper weight thanks to my attempts to shorten the 24-pin and make it modular..... I didnt make any mistakes in the wiring or any of that, but OCP wont stop kicking in so something broke.....
no new pictures or final pictures till I get a new PSU and right now I don't have the money for one :(
damn man this sucks. I hope you can get one resolved soon. WHat do you think happened to it?Quote:

Ah damn, sorry to hear it sniipe! :(
How are you testing it? Did you make sure your crimps were solid? Also make sure the crimp connectors are fully in their socket. Sounds easy enough, but one stray can cause the protection circuits to trip. This happened to me before on a Cosmos S 24 pin adapter when a wire wasn't fully seated. Good luck and hope you resolve the issue.
Ouch...:(:( That's terrible man.
(if there's a bright side to this at least now you have an excuse to switch to a Decathalon 1kw unit)
SNiiPE_DoGG Now just need to find a sponsor for a new power supply :) Who's willing? Pictures will be faster :D
SNiiPE, Sorry about the PSU man. . .YGPM.
I have read you worklog from start to finish, and I must say I love the 24 holes in the mother board for the cabling. Very neat and tidy.
Congratulations SNiiPE on "Project Flow".
Bottom line,
You should be proud of your self, Well done.:clap:

:( Snipe :( I'm sorry to hear about the PSU issue dude. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.
I just had some issues setting up Raid on our MSI mobo... Some instructions to help a noob like me out would have been great, silly manual :P Working now though.
Good luck getting yours back up and running!
It takes sacrifice to be the one pushing something further and further, this time, it was your turn.Quote:

Try looking at it from a different perspective, you should be thankful you're into modifying PC's and not climbing mountains, or you might not be here today.
There is only a single, narrow path to the "mountain of perfection" and you're close to the top.
Well not to get too dreamy, you're soon back up on the saddle mate, don't worry! :up:
Laine, get off XS and go and finish your V1000 project, I need some ideas dammit! Like how to remove all the necessary rivets from the case and replace them with screws!
drill out rivets with 1/8" drill bit - then tap 1/8" holes with M4 threads :)Quote:

Glad you are back on track. It should be a bit easier to work with that PSU. Have fun!!!
great news sniipe, glad you are getting going again ;)
That sucks with the PSU, at least you landed a new one :up:
Woo thanks for that Snipe, I even have an M4 tap woo! :D What is 1/8" in mm though, I wonder if I also have the correct size drill... I'm assuming 3.2mm if it is for M4 tap?
aye 3.2mm, beware of the rivets on the side panel plane of the case though, you will need to buy special couterbore bolts
so are you full-sleeving the HX SD?
nope, just single sleeving the 8-pin cpu like I did with the last one.
I just finished the 24-pin, and the unit still works :rofl: I cut the wires to 6 inches instead of 1 inch and that made things much easier. I sleeved the wires with 1/2" nylon multifilament in 12 wire bunndles and I really like how it turned out - pics when I finish the 8-pin :)
I gotta say, of all the PSU's I have opened up this hx850 is just astonishingly clean and well put together! its like looking at the inside of and MDPC compared to the inside of a Dell :up: makes the revo 85+ look like it was put together by a 10 year old
