Hellooo again CE!
So,, after i bought my new HD4870 (Thanks to you guys!)
Everything was ok until yesterday, i was playing FarCry2, everything on ultrahigh, and i start smelling like burnt, i checked what was it and the air smelling like burn was coming out from the PSU.

So now i ask you guys, what should i do?
I have a generic PSU of 500 watts...

Would it be better if i change it for this one?:

You either bought a pre-built system with a terrible PSU or built a system with a terrible PSU. A capacitor probably ruptured. You're going to want to replace it before it gives and decides to fry itself, your motherboard and, possibly, the rest of your system.

Also, don't get a cheap PSU. Something by Corsair, PC Power & cooling, OCZ, or, maybe Antec, Thermaltake or Cooler master.

Heck, it might just be your graphics card, like when I had my 8800 GTS, and it was under like Furmark stress test, I smelt something burning at 71C, after I replaces it with my 4830 nothing. Just an idea. Wink

Nahh, i'm sure its the PSU.
But that pixxo one is the best one i can afford.
The other ones are like 3000 pesos and so :S
Mexico doesn't have a wide variety on Computer.

Fuck you newegg Sad

So, would that PSU do any better?
