Hi rapusa, welcome back. Remember me ?

Seems unfortunate your PSU died and decided to take down crucial components with it..

 

[rapusa]

Hi Nerev!
How can I forget feeder of our LOL team Once I have new PSU, I will be back for more gaming.

Well my RAM died first when I moved to mumbai, then hard disk and lastly PSU.

What's your budget? Corsair CX550 is a good option for ~4.2k but you can go for an even better option if you have the budget.

Upto 6k is ok.

550W model is currently out of stock but this one is also very good but a bit over your budget:
Buy Antec EARTHWATTS GOLD PRO 650W at Lowest Price in India - mdcomputers.in
Make sure to confirm the presence of 7 years warranty logo on box.550W model is available on primeabgb & theitdepot but they mention 3 years warranty which was for older version of this model(much inferior in quality & not worth its price) but if they can confirm the presence of 7 years warranty logo on box then you can buy 550W model from them.For more details check this thread:

I want 600 - 650W PSU and 7-8k seems to be current prices so I have decided to increase my budget to 8k. My last PSU probably died of power surge so I want PSU with power surge protection if available or any suggestion on surge protector devices.

Also, I found this model:
CORSAIR - SMPS 650W TX650M TXM SERIES 80 PLUS GOLD PSU - rs. 7050
Not sure about this seller though.

@op:i also have the same psu ie s12 ii 620-how old was it when it died and did it damage any other components of your system in the process?

Also how exactly did the psu fail?

Purchased in 2013-14 and died in 2018. My system suddenly shutdown, no idea what happened as there was no power surge or power cut. Not sure if any other component died with it. Will check once I get new PSU.

If purchased in 2014, then you can RMA your Vengeance RAM. Corsair provides 10 Years warranty.

I've always read comments of different forum members here that Seasonic S12ii 620W is a solid option (hope I remember the correct model no. lol). How it died so soon, I wonder?

That is old news.Seasonic S12II is now a discontinued model & not recommended,corsair latest CXx5x series(2017 version,grey/white label) almost matches this so currently it is the minimum recommended good budget psu series.

It was one of most recommended model but then its just another electronic item which will die anyway after completing warranty period

Purchased Antec Earthwatts Gold Pro Series and after few days of usage all my components seems fine. Lets hope this PSU at least survive 7 years as per its warranty.

Where did you get it from? Which wattage? You sure it's the new model right? Pics would be good.

PSUs usually doesn't die this early. Even the lower-quality ones (described by many members here) run smoothly in almost every case. I have a VS450 (older model) which is powering my overclocked 1060GTX without any issues for approx. 3 years now.
If yours got broke, maybe it happened due to inconsistent electricity supply at your home or something?

That is your luck.If somebody buys a cheap psu for expensive parts then he is taking a chance that his luck wouldn't be bad but if it does then losses will be much higher than whatever he saved by going for a cheap psu.Nowadays CX450 sells for ~3.5k while VS450 for ~2.5k so there is no reason to go for VS450 when by spending just 1k more you get a much better psu.

Not promoting VS series by any means. Just giving an example that even a lower-end PSU generally have longer lifespan.
If I spend 5k+ on a PSU, I would definitely expect it to run for at least 7-8 years (or two full system upgrades) irrespective of electrical problems, or my luck. lol

You get a free replacement for the warranty period if it does end up dead.

I think he said he moved to Mumbai. He probably transported the PC in not so favourable conditions. Hence several components died maybe. Besides the Seasonic S12II is a very old PSU based on an outdated platform (same as Corsair VS series).
