I think youre buying junk again.
seasonic, pc power and cooling, corsair, antec, silverstone. thats the list. any of their 650 units will beat those junk 750 units. the junk units LIE about wattage, pure and simple. they rate at lower ambient temps, thats how they get "750" watts. real world temps, its far less. the reputable units test at real conditions.
Topic: I did it, i shouldve listened to you guys. PSU is dying. - page 2. (Read 2117 times)
Simple really, you get what you pay for.
I bought this PSU a few weeks ago via Newegg:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817148022
And you guys said that it was a POS and i didnt listen, now 3 weeks after getting it - its making a grinding sound, and Windows locks up and tells me that there is a power surge. So from what i can tell it is dying. I got my PCIE adapter and hooked up my second 5830 and soon afterward the PSU starting dying. Anyways, im sending it back to Newegg and im ordering another PSU, the one i like is:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817339002
I have a promo code that will give me a cheap optical mouse, the PSU, and 3 day shipping for $64.92 total. And im thinking about getting the 1 year extended warranty for $9.99. I like that its 80 Plus Certified, more wattage, and has alot more cables, on my PSU right now i need a few adapters for PCIE and SATA power, on this PSU i wont have to do that. The only other PSU that i saw that i like is:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182067
This one is very similar but is $10 more and i dont get a cheap mouse. What do you guys think? I dont want to purchase from anywhere but Newegg, so if theres a link from somewhere else, i wont even consider it.
