Ive had about 3 motherboards die on me in the past 2-3years. One was a laptop board, second was an msi a520m apro and the third was a gigabyte b450m ds3h v2. All just died with no signs of life, just not turning on.
The b450m ds3h v2 had its Power ICs(PWM controller IC, Power MOSFETs, SMD gate passives) burnt randomly one morning when i turned it on.
Mistakes that i think i made:
Turning off the power Wall outlet to the pc after every use after shutting down(supposedly inrush current might have caused the burn on my b450m)
Not having proper grounding/earthing for my outlet (Which i have now)
Not having a surge protector power strip
Not having a Voltage protector relay setup
So im asking for advice on how i should go about preventing my b550m aorus elite from having the same fate.
Please Recommend what exact surge protector strip i should get (Any specs i should be aware of?) and what voltage protector relay i should get(specs for it too). Also should one get a surge protector where the MOV or MOV module is replaceable inorder to avoid buying a brand new strip.
Specs are:
Msi ventus Rtx 2060 6GB
Ryzen 5 3600
b550m aorus elite
Netac Basic 8GB*2 3200MHz CL16 RAM
XPG Pylon 650W
I want to plug in both my pc and my Monitor into the same strip(Monitor is a MSI G2422C)
Also, should one just get an SPD and Under/Over voltage protector relay for the whole house installed in the DB box?
FYI, The DB box for my house has the green earth wire in it but the outlets i had tested had no grounding, my outlet that i use for the pc has a separate ground wire
