So my PC turned off quite unexpectedly this evening preventing me from continuing playing Rocket League. It just turned off and wouldn't turn on again. After confirming a particular smell in the chassis and temporarily replacing it I could make out the PSU as the culprit. It was a 480W beQuiet PSU that I had for aboput 3 years and some and it's actually the very first PC part ever that went kablooy.
To be fair in the past 3 years the hours my PC was not running could be counted on two hands since it's pretty much always on and only reboots if absolutely necessary. There was also an unholy amount of dust in the Chassis which could have something to do with it. But we're not here today to shift blame. We're here to commemorate this brave soldier which lasted thousands of hours.
R.I.P. my PSU.
So what kind of parts have been dying in your computers in the past?
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
