qtec psu warning

[tiggerai]

I hate to tell you this, but my Qtec PSU has been of better service to me than the 2(yes, 2) £50 Hiper power jobbies I've had in my rig!

I won't diss Qtec. It's not in my nature.

Hi-per have excellent power ratings + voltages, but are notorious for failing

You all know my feelings on Q-tec

Hasnt that one been out for ages

Edit: ah just discovered the new model comes with a free smoke detector

I'm going to get the 550W Q-Tec for summer.

You think 550W will be enough to power my BBQ or do you think I will have to wait around for it to burst into flames before I can cook anything. Gold plated so that means its dish washer proof or something.

It must have been a bad batch cos you just can't go around selling things that catch fire. What does Q-Tec have to say for themselves? Looking forward to the Hexus Q-Tec interview already.

Expect it to set alight taking your house, car and at least one pet with it.

These 'Transparent' fans... do they exist??

And if so, being controled by temperature... Do you think they start when they catch fire, or just after?

[RoGuE|SaBeR]

Temperature controlled to fan the flames

[Proplus]

It won't be long until Guy Fawkes, and I was thinking of getting in some QTec's in for some kiddies fireworks show.....what colour sparks normally come out?? I'm looking for a green one and a blue one....

[ERU]

My qtec 550 is absolutely excellent for £20
Stop modding the fans or overloading them and they wont blow up

[Rythmic]

Temperature controlled fans - does that mean the fans stop when they melt?

My Qtec never caught on fire - it just couldn't keep any voltage steady under any load. It has been a good source of molex plugs though

[Apex]

They also got some big fan version's too

[Howard]

I'd buy one just for the 120mm fan. Lol
