I am running a dual psu hard wired, so when I press the start button and the other psu start as well. I am running a 2nd psu mainly to power 7 high speed delta fans (4.8a each). Couple days ago, I unplug the psu cable to do some work on my PC. Today, I play Need for speed game, start out very nice and smooth and than get very laggy, and then, I tried different drivers and still gotten the same. So I decide to run Heaven benchmark, Within a few miuntes I heard a whoop noise and my PC shot down completely. It would not start again. So I went ahead to check on the cables and all and found the psu cable gotten very warm. Then, I realized the other day, I pluged in the wrong size psu cable onto the 950w psu . The cable of the 480w (cheap 480w) cable are thin. The 950W cable are beefy. So, I swap the thick psu cable to the 950w psu and try to start the computer, the fan will start but PC will not start. I let it sit for 5 minutes and everything would start as normal.
But my problem now is when I shot down the computer and the computer is down but the fan continue to run. I had to turn the switch off on the psu to shot down the fan. I think the thin 480w psu cable got fried because the 7 delta fan are not running when the pc is being turned on. I will have to check, see, if it produces any 12v power source or not.
Did something got damaged??
