Got Rid of my Q-Tec! (almost!) :D :D

[jimborae]

I've had 3 Enermax's only one was able to provide a stable 12v line.
I've had 1 Qtec, it went up in flames taking with it the m/board & cpu
I'm using a Antec True Power 480w, it looks boring & its rock solid
I'm using a ThermalTake Silent Power 480w, it looks purty & works well

Hmm. Just hope it's not "out of the frying pan..." time. I didn't think Jeantech made PSU's - I know at least one place that puts Hiper PSUs in Jeantech cases...

Brilliant rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishey !

[MurphmanL]

Haha lol
Hey Agent, whats your opinions of a Jeantec?
Im hoping its somewhat better than Q-Tec and Hiper

[LayZeh]

No sympathy, you only combine quality components with quality components, if you had spent an additional £20 or so on a decent brand renowned for quality then you'd of saved yourself a lot of grief, <edit - dont get personal>

[MurphmanL]

Well Layzeh I don't drive for a start, and back at the time I got the Q-Tec I had little clue of their crapness until I started nosing around a bit more about them

How To Buy A PSU In Simple Step-By-Step Format.

1) Look on the box for 'Antec', 'Enermax', 'Thermaltake, 'Tagan', 'Power Supply'.

Well done.

Fixed.

Ive only delt with a couple of Jeantecs, but they seem to be ok.
They certainly aint Antec / TT / Targan ect quality, but ive not run into issues with them, and voltages seemed stable. The systems they were in though were just stock ones, and not even too powerful at that, so what ive just said is from my very limited experience with them.

Im pretty gutted about the hiper though, 100% sure it was the PSU ?
Sucks either way

[MurphmanL]

Almost 100% m8 as i didn't change anything else so either it was that or pure concidence that the hard drive decided to suddenly stop working....
Yeah I was gutted, expected much more of Hiper, apparently a trusted Athlon 64 FX 53 Partner... if AMD partner with PSU's of this build quality, I'd love to see the ones they disapprove of...

I have a Dual Fan Q Tec 450 Gold, Its really quiet and I have had no probs with it at all since I got it around 16 months ago, no complaints at all. Only cost me around £30 also, served me well. Will be upgrading it in the new year but for the time being its fine.

[bassjunkie]

got a thermal take 480W work's sweet on my A64 with a 6800GT was having a few stability issues with the Q-Tec 550W when overclocking. still its solid on my Barton 2500 @ 3200 with a 9600XT

pour flammables into the Qtec and set it alight.

Pictures and film are obligatory

Just power it on, it will set itself alight

[bassjunkie]

has it got the power to do that?
