He used to be a member here, though he does not post that much, there are also a few others here that are forum members at jonnguru's forums, they know there stuff! ------------------------- *The opinions expressed above do not represent those of Advanced Micro Devices or any of their affiliates.* *Physics?

They are much better PSU's than Kingwin's older, Absolute Power series, which are also built by Superflower. The last good Sunbeam PSU was the Andyson-built 550w NUUO Modular the more expensive, active PFC offerings that newegg has might be decent, but for the price, there are better PSU of known good quality. ------------------------- Rig 1: AM2 X2 4850e--MSI K9N Neo V3--2x1gb Mushkin DDR2 800--Sapphire HD4830--Corsair VX450--Acer H213H-Win XP Rig 2:Athlon X2 7850 Kuma--Biostar 780L--2x1gb Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800--Asus Formula HD4770--Corsair VX450--LG Flatron W2252TQ-Win 7 32-bit Premium Capitalism rocks!

MrWicked1968 Drunk Mouse Syndrome Posts: 8752 Joined: 08/22/2004	I'm sure there is someone out there who bought one of those expecting it to power a heavily oc'd quad-core quad-sli system with a TEC and water cooling...then wonders why he has bizarre stability problems. ------------------------- Rig 1: AM2 X2 4850e--MSI K9N Neo V3--2x1gb Mushkin DDR2 800--Sapphire HD4830--Corsair VX450--Acer H213H-Win XP Rig 2:Athlon X2 7850 Kuma--Biostar 780L--2x1gb Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800--Asus Formula HD4770--Corsair VX450--LG Flatron W2252TQ-Win 7 32-bit Premium Capitalism rocks!

B-Shot Case Modder Posts: 1212 Joined: 05/18/2009	Ive had my hands on that same coolmax at a local shop, and it weighs less than a roswell green series 530w 80+ if that tells anything about the quality, you can almost twist it apart with 2 hands its so flimsy.
