    Exploding PSU Warning: Corsair Lab Fun
    Stop me if you have heard this one before. A couple of our guys were doing some load testing one day on some PSUs and had some fun with some "inexpensive" low end units.

    The unit was rated at +3.3V@28A,+5V@34A,+12V@21A

    We tested it with the 12V at 18A, the 3.3V at 20A, and the 5V at 10A on our load testers.

    Check out the video clip, Why a high-quality PSU is an essential purchase.

    That was awesome, I like the music it goes with the theme

    I do like the new Corsair 450w VX series.

    I have seen them go worse than that! I have seen sparks about 6" long, a massive bang, smoke and the main fuse trip in the building.
