Glad to hear that we have always taken good care of you. Ryder is a great guy!

I'll be glad to help if you have any trouble. Thanks for the update.

Hi, I just found this thread. I'm sorry that you had a problem with the advertised rebate at Newegg. We will take care of this issue for you, and also give you a time extension so that you can file. We care about our customers, and want your experience to be a good one, no matter who was at...

Honestly, that is the odd part. If you were actually stable with one OS, you should be stable with another. My guess is that you either weren't stable (at least for Win 7), or your memory may have developed a problem.The guys on the forums should be able to help you determine what is going on.

I would tend to agree. If you pay a visit to our support forums we can help you with troubleshooting and settings. OCZ Forums

Sorry you have been having problems. You can visit the link below and create a support ticket to get in touch with our support department. I'm not sure if you have the Elipda chips mentioned in that Anantech article, because we only used them for a very short time. Either way, we will honor...

I would say it's not likely that your PSU causing the problem. The only way to tell is to do what is suggested above and change out your PSU for a known good one. Measuring voltage drops and the like will not tell you if your PSU has changed overtime, or whether any changes would effect your...

The Silencer name was coined when PC Power designed a PSU line that was quieter than the industrial grade Turbo Cool series. PC Power is not going to change the name because someone's PSU might be more "Silencer" (sic). They don't give reviewers whisper quiet fans and then crank them up for the...

You make a good point. If someone wants a PSU with a 140mm fan, they should look for one, buy it, and enjoy the quiet. If you want a PC Power unit with the quality and US based support that made their reputation what it is today, then you know what to do.

Now that you mention it, I had a conversation at PC Power concerning the top mounted fan and component size and placement. They said that the thick 140mm fan caused layout issues and component choice compromises. You can't just make the case deeper to make up for the thicker top mounted fan.

The best I can tell you guys is that some of this does comes down to design philosophy. The engineers decide what is acceptable and what is not, based on testing with their Chroma 8000 ATE test benches and heat chamber. If they felt they could do with less air movement, I'm sure they would. If...

Hello, I can speak for PC Power and I'd like to address this. The PC Power engineers have tested many designs, and some of them are quieter and therefore move much less air than the Silencer series. What they have found is that heat will build up with lower air flow, causing performance to...

Agreed!

I'm glad I saw this thread, and had the opportunity to explain the situation and reaffirm PC Power's commitment to remaining a top quality brand. Thanks!

We understand the concern and just wanted to be up front about it since the subject came up. And yes, things do happen and being on top of the problem is key to keep things from getting out of hand.

Hey guys, since the PC Power techs aren't signed up here, I want to let you what was going on with DOA's back in January or so. There was a small percentage of the 750w units in one batch that tested fine when they were assembled, but had a problem. Apparently there was one specific component...

Reformatting any of the OCZ flash drives to NTFS format will work just fine.

Your PSU doesn't regulate power, your motherboard power regulation does and this is what is being reported by the chip (which can be wrong anyway). Again, you simply can't rely on programs to tell you what your actual voltage is. Checking the actaul PSU voltages with a DMM is easy and reliable...

Exactly, so if you are concened, look at your 12v rail. The only way to get an accurate read of your voltages is to use a digital volt meter. Here is a link to our support forums showing how to test. LINK I used a PSU calculator and plugged in a system like yours with the overclocked CPU and...

Haha, is this a trap?:D NO, I didn't say that or mean that, and you know differently. PC Power's capabilities are simply far beyond what I thought you were implying. We may be straying off topic here............. :eek:

Hi Paul, whatever the other guys do, PC Power is far from a re-badge operation, and has full in house capacity to test, design, customize and refurbish their PSU lines. Anandtech just took a PC Power tour if you care to check it out over there. Later buddy!

Nico is great, so you are in good hands my friend. Keep at it and you should be able to get to speed.

Hi Paul, PC Power has a design team and they specs their own PSU's. I have spent time there and know their names. ;) They specify electronics, fan layouts, and the like.

Running 2 kits you probably won't be able to run 5-5-5 timings. We rate these kits as 2gb, so the timings only apply to 1 kit. Try 7-7-7 to start. You can get more info on our support forums HERE.

Overclocking will always depend on your system and the memory itself, but in general a 3gb should overclock better. This is not always the case though.

Hi, I agree that memtest is not perfect. Running 2.1v is just fine, and your warranty will still be good, so no worries. Motherboard power regulation can vary, and you might be getting less than 2.0v when you set that in the BIOS. If you want some setting suggestions, visit our support forums...

Hello, I an the PC Power Rep here. Sorry about the problem. Best thing to do is call customer service during regular work hours (Pacific Time) and speak to the in-house rep. They can be really cool about DOA's and can swing you a deal you can't refuse on a swap for a fully tested unit...

That kit should work fine for your i7. If you have any questions or run into any issues, you can visit our support forums here: OCZ Support Forums Thanks

Just plug it in and see if it works. If not, send me a PM and I'll advise you on how to get a replacement kit.

Hello, as Danny Bui suggests software programs can be very inaccurate. The only way to tell is to measure voltages with a digital voltmeter. PC Power regulates their PSU's very well and I have never seen one read 11.37V. You are most likely just fine.

I haven't used that motherboard, but the techs on our support forums should be able to advise you on what your board can do and how to get there. Just go here (OCZ Forums) and post in the memory section.

I agree, as long as you aren't going to add another video card or upgrade to some super power hungry video card in the future you should be OK.

Hi, the StealthXStream line has fairly short cabling. I don't have access to the case you mention, but it is a mid tower size standard ATX case. You should be OK form what I can tell. Extension cables are available online if you get in a jam.

I agree, put your old hardware back in and see if your PSU works for you.

I would be interested in knowing what components you have as well.

Night_Hawk-19, I just sent you a PM. I can look into this for you.

My pleasure. All's well that ends well! :D

I that case you would have a simple price reduction. Honestly the price after rebate is often less than actual product cost. Mail in rebates work due to the fact that only a small percentage get sent in. If you follow through quickly and accurately, you get your rebate and win!

I see a simple solution here, forget the Vista score and use proven benchmarks, such as Everest, PCMark and 3DMark. Don't trust Microsoft! ;)

I try to catch any problems here on a regular basis. We do care and realize that rebates are a sensitive subject.
