    Didn't realise that Blitzen, thanks. I'll keep that in mind.

    My mind changes every day about which to get. What about this thing?

    For modular psu's in no real order.

    Corsair, HX series
    Enermax, MODU82+ series
    Seasonic, M12 series
    Be Quiet, Dark Power PRO series
    Antec, NeoHE series
    Coolermaster, Silent Pro M series (single rail) or Real Power M series (multi rail)
    Xigmatek, No Rules Power series
    OCZ, Mod XStream series

    The TT tough power units used to be good, no sure on these current modular thoughpowers
    note: all TT psu's are made by CWT

    There is sort of POB. There is no way the Coolermaster units are as stable/reliable/weel built as the Seasonic/Enermax for example.

    The Enermax MODU is better than all of those units in every way.
    The only time the Corsair wins is the 5 year warranty it carries as opposed to the 3 year Enermax and tbh, thats neither here nor there for an enthusiast.

    Re: GTX260 Crashes Computer

    Well just posting to let you all know that I have upgraded the PSU to a CoolerMaster Silent Pro M 700w and everything is running excellently. My GTX260 doesn't even make that whining noise that is supposed to be normal according to a lot of forum posts (not here). Makes me wonder how many people are actually out there running their cards like I was and getting the noises because they're struggling for power.

    Anyway, thanks for all the help.
