i been thinkin about this for ages, if i had've plugged in the psu tester well prior to this psu shitting itself and spiking all those boards and cpus ive lost in the last 12 mths i may have been able to see an irregularity in voltages and save some, surely the psu tester would've shown it up , so now b4 i put any board on i'm gunna plug the psu tester in to check the voltages coming out of it, and im gunna buy a 2nd psu tester to check against the first ones readings, but a different model type psu tester, that way if they read the same then im gunna know all is ok or not, like really how long does it take to plug a psu tester in , check voltages to see if all is ok ? 2 mins and could save so much heartache and pain let alone money, what do you reckon boys, fair comment  |

Well the calibration between 2 different tester models and makes may give you inconsistencies. Just buy one well known decent tester and put trust into it. If you've killed HW, ditch the PSU or just don't use it simple as that brother. I recommend Antec Power Supplies. Not only strong and reliable, the RMA with Antec is usually pain free. edit: IF you ever really needed it, see quote at bottom  www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371036 This is what I've been using the past few years with LN2 Dice and even on the daily rig for a while. YEARS of beating. And I'm not talking light beatings, major all out heavy gaming, CPU burn ins on de-lidded chips and yes them 7ghz club submissions. Have only purchased 3 Antec power supplies in the last 10 years. edit: (Have only purchase 3 PSUs in 10 years the Antecs the only 3 fyi) Had a 550w that I killed trying to run Quad X-Fire 4850X2 and 2 single 4850's I purchased from Sparker around 9 (think maybe closer to 8... but ...) years ago. Then I got the 850W CP series and that is still a working PSU. The 1000W my brother purchased and was over kill for him, gave it to me and of course I've put this thing through some pretty serious Overclocking. au.pcpartpicker.com/product/n3rG3C/antec-power-supply-hcp1300platinum AU price sold here? Over here this bad boy is 252$ on Newegg. Not sure how that transfers to AU dollar, but this thing is just a bad ass. |

shrimpy you forget man, way back in the amd forum where no prick wanted to help me upgrade my old am2 system, then you told me about CP so i went there then here when cp died in the arse, i ve had a antec CP1000 for well over 2 yrs in the daily, i dont game and its overkill for what i need in it, and ive missed out on 2 new on fleabay for $100 aud, thinking of takin it out of my daily and whackin in a 600w or so , 450 would do , ive got plenty , but i need long cables for the antec dark85 case i run for the daily , thats the issue,

It's a good PSU. Don't disturb it. Leave it in the daily rig. Get a nice new PSU for the bench.
Oh. Do me a favor, smash that Enermax with a large hammer, preferably a sledge hammer. If it breaks more of your hardware, I swear I'll fly out there and do it myself.

If it breaks more of your hardware, I swear I'll fly out there and do it myself. the enermax is gunna be rmad, ive got a new psu from evga supernova 1300 G2, its in the bench rig now and goin just fine scotty and pete have the enermax, i sent scotty the 1500 watt, pete has both the 1350 and 1500 platimax, just my luck i got a dud, happens in anything you buy, but ill guarantee this whilst my arse points to the ground, they wont come good with the mobos and cpus its killed in the last 8 mths and not knowing it was the psu, and thats why i said im gunna test the psu b4 any borad goes on the bench rig now, and having 2 different psu testers than having 2 of the same, anyone could be faulty in the reading but the likelyhood of that hapenin id say would be not often, regardless of what model you buy, and thats it, thats what im doin!!!! |

evga cables are already braided sleeves, black and red the first evga 1300 g2 i had was in the bench machine one night and i was concentrating on benching and it went bang , and i mean bang, big puff of smoke too but it didnt kill the mobo or cpu, was like a shotgun goin off, i thought someone shot me fair dinkum, nearly fell off the chair in fright, evga paid for the pickup and redelivery by courier with a new one, they had recently at the time just upgraded their warranty to 10 years on all evga psus, i havent looked at the G3 series but doubt it wouldnt be the same quality and warranty

When I read this.... I'll never buy an Enermax power supply. Not that I ever had intentions of doing so.....
And then RMA. Well I'd sell that suker as soon as it arrived back.

enermax are a pain in the arse to deal with too, i sent em 2 emails and never got a reply back and you have to put in a number code to send the message which i did twice, then i sent em another email saying no bastard has replied to my emails and that their customer service is disgusting and you all need a good kick up the arse and sackin, then i get am email back the next day saying they never got the first 2 emails but got the 3rd  , so i told em what has been happening to all the mobos that have died with this psu and what are they gunna do about it, no reply yet, since the last email, 3 days ago now, and dont expect 1 either now they know its killed the boards, but im like a dog with a bone when it comes to this sort of stuff when i know its their item at fault, ive had not 1 problem since with any boards since i put the evga 1300 G2 in it since the enermax shit itself altogether |

evga are good yes, and evga has the most superb customer service, warranty program ive ever come across from any supplier of anything ive bought, other companies should take a leaf from their book
at pete and scotty, are you still using your enermax in your benching systems and have you had any dramas ?, ive received a reply email from enermax and they want the ins and outs of a ducks arse of information , pics , board failures for it, seal identification which i took off to open it up to dry it out and to see if there was any moisture in it when i bought them, how the hell am i gunna give them any board failure info when the boards dont work now coz theyve been spiked and dont go ?, pete has been here when the psu has gone click click click, and no power, then let it rest then itll power up, and the power button on the bench rig feels like it has pressure against it when it did it when you pressed it to power it up, like the psu was refusing to allow the button to work, i know it sounds strange but petes been here when its happened and ive said feel that pressure on the button, with the evga in it now the power button on the bench rig is normal again, it got to the stage we thought the power button was just worn out so i ordered a new power button for it, but it isnt the problem, it was and is the psu , even if i put the psu tester on it it didnt register anything, so i let it sit, ive just tested it again now and the +12v1 read out in the psu tester reads L.L , beeps, beeps , beeps continually with no voltage reading there where it should be

arrived today, psu on its own with the fans, its not new but obviously been tested, the point is this woman recoginised the issue and was prepared to fix it and of which she did, took over 2 years to get this done, maybe enermax has rethought the customer service and warranty process, certainly it has with my case, which im very appreciatieve of |

, so i told em what has been happening to all the mobos that have died with this psu and what are they gunna do about it, no reply yet, since the last email, 3 days ago now, and dont expect 1 either now they know its killed the boards, but im like a dog with a bone when it comes to this sort of stuff when i know its their item at fault, ive had not 1 problem since with any boards since i put the evga 1300 G2 in it since the enermax shit itself altogether
