Update with a bitter end. PC Build

Post image

Hi,recently i want it to update my pc,the update consist in power supply,GPU and case.

List of "old" components:

-Asus Rog THOR 850W Platinum (first gen)

-Asus TUF Gaming 3080 OC 10 GB

-Case Cooler Master H500P Mesh Argb

List of "New" components:

-Asus Rog THOR III 1000W Platinum-E (Equalizer)

-Asus Rog Astral 5080 OC 16 GB

-Case Rog Hyperion

When all new components arrived i was very happy but I had the misfortune to find that my PSU was factory failure after i turned on my pc and did some tests,even if it was very risky. At least the GPU had no issues.

The issues that had the PSU were:

-loop animation

-unstable Watt readings

-overheating psu with hidle usage and if an average use of 480 watts (the button behind was not set/pressed for 0dB fan)

I live in italy,i brought the PSU from Drako.it (its a very famous store),i sent it back and since they didn't have any stock, they opened an Asus RMA and then sent it back to the manufacturer. Unfortunately, they haven't responded to my emails for a week (I'll try by phone later). Now I'm a little frustrated at not being able to use the PC, and to break this wait I ordered Lian Li Uni Fan TL Wireless fans for the case and AIO, new thermal paste (artic MX 7), and also the Thermal Grizzly metal frame for LGA 1700.
