So after much head scratching, some hunting around, a lot of luck and more then a little intestinal fortitude, I remembered that I hadn't ditched the old psu! (well I figured it was a quick and cheep way of finding out just how extensive the damage was)
I've been running the big rig for about 30 minutes, tested out a few games (which with the newer motherboard do not lock up as they did with this psu and the old k7s5a). Everything seems in tact, looks like the pereferals took the brunt of it afterall...
What I have lost however is a couple of the 92mm fans, the tower temp gauges, a cold cathode (it seems to have exploded inside its glass tube...).
a total repair bill of about... £30 all inc. I think however I'll be sticking with this PSU for as long as its prepaired to dish out the juice. oh and the side of the case is staying off until I get around to replacing the fans.
So who's the lucky {bleep}! :-D :-D :-D :-D :-o :-o :-o :lol: :lol: :lol:
