Got this PSU with an Antec Sonata II case that I bought in July last year.
It died after four months use, as it was powering an overclocked AMD64 4000 cpu that died at the same time I just replaced it with a new Hiper PSU as it may have been my overclocking of the CPU that caused both of the the problems.
So it sat in the corner until today when I opened it up to see if it was just the internal fuse that had gone. Below is a rough drawing of the mains wiring that I found inside the PSU.
The live mains is wired to the switch then goes straight to a connection on the pcb marked with a letter "N" (circled 1)
The neutral is wired straight to a connection on the pcb marked with a letter "L" (circled 2) then to a thermistor? (TH1) and then on to the 5amp fuse.
To me this does not appear to be correct?
Any comments on this would be appreciated.
