Asked Wingless some advice on a spare PC build I was working on. Well, he suggested swapping out the PSU cause the system wouldnt power on. Took it too Lordgygabyte's shop and he tested the
PSU and works fine. As I really love my old Crosshair II I opted to get an RMA started to
ship it in to be fixed on my dime, its out of warranty by 5-6 months.

And this morning the Main gaming rig failed to turn over and come to life. PSU on this PC.
The brand-new/refurbed or whatever Antec I just got 4 days ago fired it to life and I used
this one today.

I shipped the Corsair under warranty today to be replaced. Corsair they don't send refurbs back
on PSU's they send brand new ones. That is awesome. So I guess if I really wanted to play
games I'll just use the Antec or wait about a week for the new one to get here.

Nothing else better die. Unless the warranties about up like that Antec PSU it died 1 month
till the warranty is up, so ya gotta love that! Got a newer more powerful PSU outta them
the old one wasnt 80 plus bronze. The new one is 80 plus Bronze with Hybrid Management. :)

So some good news in this thread. Some bad.

Man, people have been having all sorts of hardware problems lately.

Side note, it has been proven that the 80 Plus rating on PSU's is a scam. Don't rely on them for your next PSU purchase. Read the reviews, that's what I do.

sites.I think I'll be okay once I get the new one. :) every now and then theirs
a bad egg with a product that shouldnt have left the factory. it happens.
