[gentoo-user] [OT] ATX PS recommendation

[maxim wexler]

Hi group,

I bought a Coolmax PS which was touted as the latest
and greatest and then it died. When I opened it up I
found the output crowded with puffy, oozing
electrolytic caps, most made by Fuhjyyu. A search for
Fuhjyyu on Google revealed that I'm not alone.

Can somebody recommend a *reliable*, up-to-date PS,
>=400W with a 120mm fan?

Maxim

Hi,

I've used several LC6550 "Super Silent" PS without any problem (with AMD 
Athlon 64 and AMD Athlon 64 X2 processors). 550W and 120mm fan.

enermax?

tomshardware tests PSUs regularly - and enermax are the only ones who never 
failed.

I just had a Coolmax CP-500T to burn out.  I blew the dust out and some 
knot head left a rubber band in it and it got caught up in my fan.  We 
all know what happened about 10 minutes later.  Thing did run a while 
with 0 cooling tho.  I run folding with three hard drives spinning so it 
had a good load on it. 

I did like the power supply tho.  It had a 120mm fan and was real 
quiet.  I couldn't hear it over the other noise in the case.  I do have 
several other fans running tho, including the CPU which runs pretty good 
too.

This may help some.  Lots of links too.
