    New/current 12V v2.3x PSUs compatible with older v2.01 motherboards?

    If it failed the paper clip test, it's obviously dead. That Antec rep should quit his job and sweep sidewalks instead, and you just send that PSU for RMA.

    Cooler Master G550M 550W Power Supply Review @ [H]

    Well, some of CM's PSUs are manufactured by Seasonic. Tho that's in the higher end product lines.

    ATX to AT Adapter Problem

    AFAIK, AT PSUs weren't used with Pentium II systems. Those use ATX standard. At least the Pentium II mainboards I had were all ATX.

    Power Supply lifespan. When to replace?

    Why would you want a 1 kW PSU for a system that normally pulls something like in the ~300W range? It's complete overkill.

    EVGA 430W Power Supply Review @ [H]

    Every time I see HEC mentioned, I get that "is that thing gonna pass, I wonder" feeling. I know that they actually can do fine if they put their mind to it (the "real" Cougar), but often it just ends up in a "meh" or it fails.

    LEPA MX F1 600W Power Supply Review @ [H]

    Wow, and for a period of time, LEPAs used to be good because they were Enermax units in disguise. But this is just bad beyond belief. I would see this coming from a shady off-brand manufacturer, but this was a bit of a surprise.

    Corsair CX750 750W Power Supply Review @ [H]

    Well, good RMA procedures apart (which I can't confirm, since I don't have to deal with the manufacturer directly in my country, because the e-tailer is responsible for honoring the warranty in its entirety), I have to say it has no place here. I can get the XFX ProSeries Core 750W for the...

    Corsair CX750 750W Power Supply Review @ [H]

    It'll be fine as long as your not loading it to its limits in a very hot case. Which I'm guessing is very unlikely.

    Corsair CX750 750W Power Supply Review @ [H]

    Their higher end stuff is fine, albeit somewhat pricier than what you can get from the competition. But I have to be honest, there is no reason for me to even consider buying their lower end PSUs. There's just better to be had from other manufacturers. So there it can seem like they're...

    Thermaltake Toughpower 1200W Gold Power Supply Review @ [H]

    I guess the low price saves it. TT hasn't been known for low prices through the years, so at least there's that.

    Cooler Master GXII 650W Power Supply Review @ [H]

    It's kinda sad. A lot of CM's stuff is now good compared to times past, but then we get this... I mean, if you're going to compete in the lower end, at least make sure your stuff is on par or at least close to other larger brands that compete in the same segment with decent units. If it...

    Raidmax Cobra Power 500W Power Supply Review @ [H]

    I'm surprised it lived.

    Corsair cx430?

    It'll be plenty. Rig will draw somewhere between 200-250W typically at load.

    Seasonic S12G-Series: S12G-550 Power Supply Review @ [H]

    Yeah, 550W is plenty. You're looking at roughly 300W on average at max load.

    Enermax Revolution X't 730W Power Supply Review @ [H]

    Sad to see good brands fall in the the sea of mediocrity. It's happening far too often today. Good thing we still have brands like Seasonic themselves who will normally not compromise.
