Hi, ...snip... The fact that the psu fried other components out of the box makes me think your source of parts is suspect. ie. this was not a high quality power supply(?) I know I'm preaching to the choir here but don't save money on an inferior unit. IMO get the highest quality, over-rated for your application, power supply you can afford. The cpu fan is always a pain. Before you put the grease on it you have to rehearse attaching it a few times. Everyone screws this up at least once, welcome to the club.
