Question: Has anyone actually had a seasonic die? This assumes that you are running them within the rated specs of course, not overdoing it. And if so, how old was it and what kind of load did it have?

This reminds me.. I have to RMA something.... had one of my silverstone 1200 go pop the other day.  (bought before I found SS).  

details:
miner8 not on.
wont boot
unplug psu, plug
wont boot
15 seconds later ................POP

glad I keep SS around, I had just got that deal from new egg, 4 SS 750's for 115 each.

First time I heard router causing kernel panics... I would have thought network card drivers would be robust against this sort of thing.

We had a printer at work with a faulty NIC that was crashing our router/wifi hotspot. Took us over 2 days of spotty internet to diagnose as a random printer. Unplugged the printer and it's been fine for the past 6 months.

Any type of Rosewill products really turns me off. I've had several before with really bad experiences. Just keep in mind that Rosewill is a generic brand for newegg, so you won't exactly know who the OEM is unless you open up the item.

Ya, it was a Rosewill router Tongue

Yes, some can be bad, but by the same token some can be gems. I usually trust jonnyguru to come up with the truth when it comes to PSUs, and the one good Rosewill is the 1300 watt lighting unit. Still, nothing can beat a seasonic (except rebranded seasoncs lol).

I seemed to find the problem and it wasn't the power supply after all. The only hardware change I had was the power supply so that's what I assumed it was. But actually It seems that voltage drops are causing problems with my switch or router, which is causing kernel panics in bamt. I reset my router and didn't setup static ip. Setup static ip and stable again, strangest thing ever, lol.

I'm using two of them for over a year without any problems.


I got one of these used and I can't get stability on even a modest mining rig. Right now I have a rig with a sempron, flash drive, a 5970 and two 5830. I was really hoping to get 5 gpu's stable with this power supply but now I'm beginning to think that may not be possible. Almost every time I plug anything into the same circuit as the power supply the system crashes. It was stable with the 750w rosewill so I know for sure its the power supply. So I guess what I'm asking is anyone using this power supply with good results should I try to get it RMA through rosewill or should i cut my losses and return it to the seller

a SeaSonic 750 will probably out hump that ros1000.


The PSU is one of the the MOST important parts of the rigs....

This is why people say "Don't cheap out on your psu".

There's a thread about it on JonnyGuru forums. It's a Sirfa unit.

Seems like it's more like a 900W power supply (as far as mining goes). The ripple numbers are horrid, so probably you're getting an out of spec spike when you plug in other stuff into your circuit.

Trust me, these default swaps will limit the risks
I believe you may have a dud on your hands. I'm using a brand new one that I picked up a couple of weeks ago on new egg for $106 shipped/ and a free 1 year extended warantee. I'm running two 5850's overclocked to the max I could get them. It's a pretty nice psu for the $, and I plan to add 2 more 5850's to the system within a month. I would see about the rma before you accidently damage any of those precious gpus.
