It happened to me too some time ago (no burning smell though), it's almost certainly the PSU. Let's hope it hasn't damaged anything else :/

bad thing about corsair is they're OEM whores. Each model has a different maker. Some models use Seasonic which are top notch then some models use piss poor oem. |

Only thing that bothers me is how long they take to check the psu and to return a new one to me..
And the new one better has to last more then 2-3 months or else im going in guns blazing on their asses!

Yeah, but I think either dezztroy or ixi had a TX650 just like mine, the "V 0.0" which is a Seasonic build...

ive been amazingly surprised by the rosewell POS cheap ones how well they work.
its always my choice for friends and family that "want me to build a good PC for around $400 that can play new games"
don't think Ive had one die yet.

their new green series actually won a few awards at how well built and efficient they were. I put one in a client build recently and it was pretty damn good. We'll see if it fails |

Ixi had HX 620 which was many years old if i remember correctly. Also "AX" series are top quality PSU´s. Most TX are made by CW (Channel Well) which arent as good as "Seasonic a.k.a HX/AX". Pretty odd indeed that your AX blew up ;<

To clarify this and SpykeZ' remark about them being OEM whores:
- CX = CWT (except CX400, which is Seasonic)
- AX = Seasonic (except AX1200, which is Flextronic)
- VX = Seasonic (VX450) and CWT (VX550)
Now comes the fun part, let's start with the TX series:
- TX650: original Seasonic, followed by a CWT revision, and the current TX650V2 is Seasonic again (the CWT build had no 80+ label either)
- TX750: original CWT, followed by CWT, current V2 is Seasonic
- TX850: CWT, CWT, Seasonic
- TX950: CWT
Note how the the first builds were all CWT except the 650 - we see this again with the HX series (which, contrary to what Breezer says are NOT mostly Seasonic):
- HX450, 520, 620, 650: Seasonic
- HX750, 850, 1000, 1050: CWT
50/50 split in that history; from memory, the 450/520/520/1000 are now all discontinued (1000 replaced by 1050 obviously). So currently, it's one Seasonic build (650), rest are all CWT.
Note, there's nothing wrong with CWT. They are about as efficient as Seasonic. Seasonic goes a step further though, they use better caps and usually have a more sophisticated cooling system in place; very odd that we've seen some blow up here recently  |

was the power supply on mine that did it. i dunno if it was bung, or if i was stupid in waiting till everything was hooked up before turning the power on, rather than doing it incrementally (which is what i do now)
i was shitting myself... nothing worked on the pc after it blew... it was my first build as well... thankfully guy down the street was pretty knowledgable about this stuff, and even brought his PC over to my house and pulled it apart so that he could hook up his PS to my pc, just to see if the board would even light up... it did, so that was a huge relief.
side-note, bought my power supply from pc power and cooling over in america... not only did they pay to have the unit returned to them from down here in NZ, but they cross-shipped a replacement.. BEST service i think ive ever had with a company.

That would've been the unit. I've never done it "incrementally", completely pointless - if the PSU is going to fail, it will fail regardless of how "fast" you hook everything up
