mother fucker.
Let me guess, it was cheap?

Corsair cx600m
Not the cheapest thing out there.
Was it refurbed ?
>>53362198
Brand new.
Just bad luck really.

Send it back, should be under warranty.
Next time i'd suggest going with something Gold Rated or higher. It's only a power consumption guideline, but generally to reach more efficiency they need to use higher quality parts. Plus you'll save more money overtime on your power bill anyway.

if you know jack shit about PSUs, this is actually a decent heuristic.
You do have to look out for people that game the system - I have seen some truly terrible gold supplies - but in general yeah, the higher the efficiency rating, the better the part will be at
- having decent internals
- not killing itself with its own heat
- actually contributing to the cooling of your system rather than the inverse.
An obvious lemon.
Just RMA it.

whats a capaciter? was the water damage bad when it leaked?
>>53362109
What's the branding on it? If it's anything other than Nichicon, Rubycon, Nippon Chemicon, or Panasonic it's garbage.
Also check temperature ratings 85C is garbage. You want caps rated for something like 2000hrs@105C minimum.
That's not a leaking capacitor, that's a marking made before they slapped the sticker on. Capacitors in that format are usually slightly round-topped from factory; that one is not your problem.

>power supply ratings are quality ratings

Furry?
I don't see any indication of a bad cap. There might be one but you can't tell from just that alone.
Cheap supplies tend to use decent caps on the input side(for the big caps) and cheapshit caps on the output stages(little caps). That looks like a big cap so if your PSU is somewhat reputable then it wouldn't make sense for that cap to fail before the smaller ones unless the entire PSU was a chinese piece of shit.

That's a screwdriver.

Bow down before me.

10/10. Reliable source confirmed.

>>53366019
Heh I used to have a collection like that from boards I scrapped but I tossed most of the cheap teapo and yaego and elna caps out.
Next time check johnnyguru
>>53365722
+1 confirmed.
In any case, just RMA that shit, don't worry about the cause, it's not your problem. It's very obviously under warranty.
