    PC Peripherals THG: PSU Live Stress Test

    Wonder if THG has any plans to test Powerstream 520W at some time ? Seems to be very popular - in some respects even more than the 600W ! And yeah, if THG is at fault it's reputation or whatever is left of it is sunk forever ! I'm waiting for Round 2 of Antec. There is this theory that...

    PC Peripherals THG: PSU Live Stress Test

    It appears that the second OCZ unit also failed :O . Can't get that info clearly from THG, US website but THG, German site carries it. OCZ has asked for the 2 units to be shipped back to them for their own evaluation. Either THG or OCZ is in deep doo-doo !

    Post your overclocks !

    What he said ! And funky, Be Very Careful if you're planning to flash to 623-3 bios. Eva - the person who wrote the DFI OC article - apparently would have nearly lost the board if it weren't for the bios savior. There is a sticky out there on this. Of course, that might have been an isolated...

    PC Peripherals THG: PSU Live Stress Test

    LOL ! :ohyeah: ! Now what if the second unit passes ? or fails ? Fodder to keep all the forums fed either way :P ! you can catch the live voltage/temp update here: http://www.tomshardware.com/stresstest/charts.html The ambient is tolerable. Slight mismatch w/ the air input. And I'm not sure...

    PC Peripherals THG: PSU Live Stress Test

    Well, THG has provided very scanty information as yet about the temperatures and in the manner in which they loaded the rails. This is what has been pissin' a whole lot of people ! IIRC, one of their temp sensors was registering ~40C coz sunlight was falling on it directly :ohyeah: ! However...

    PC Peripherals THG: PSU Live Stress Test

    HeHe ! Even if that OCZ unit happens to be the black sheep of a batch, it certainly doesn't say much about their QA for the $$$$ they charge for that PSU. Looks like some of the peeved manufacturers are clamouring for a Take Two ! Regardless of THG's reputation or lack of it, I'm hoping that...

    PC Peripherals THG: PSU Live Stress Test

    You mean even the Xserve connection ? Then that begs the question if Alan had anything to comment upon AOpen/FSP quality. Please see the concerns in my disclaimer above. And surely those concerns are going to be voiced by someone at some point in time ! Thanks for the initiative ! As long as...

    PC Peripherals THG: PSU Live Stress Test

    Aha - A li'l OT ! What's the relation between Aopen and FSP ! I came across this PSU link at OC, NZ (http://forums.overclockers.co.nz/showthread.php?s=&threadid=14881) which claims that FSP is OEM for AOpen PSUs ! And the Aopen, US site actually lists all the FSP model numbers including...

    Post your overclocks !

    ^^OK ! I'm tempted ... but also a li'l paranoid ... :P will give it a try with a spare Hard Disk coz the ABIT screwed me up once when I attempted something fancy ! IIRC, even some among the nf4 boards had issues with high HTT. Should be fun though !

    This from THG ;) ! If there was a thread on this already, mods delete this ! I do recall someone (deejay ??) commenting on the Antec PSU. Anyways, you can catch the status here (scroll down to the bottom): http://www.tomshardware.com/howto/200507111/index.html Both the Antec TP V2 550W and...

    Great show Darky ! I'm happy for you :D ! BTW, wonder why you are going easy on the memory with a 133 (9/14) divider. Anyways, looks very impressive ! Dunno if my DFI can manage 420MHz :P .
