Until it blows out on you.ScHpAnKy said:I have one and it's still running, and gets more stable voltage than my Enermax 300, Antec 430W and Fortron 530 (recently sold)
dandragonrage said:All good PSUs have stable voltage, but not all PSUs with stable voltages are good.
saturnine2 said:Check the front page, Kyle's Ultra X-connect PSU died.
We told ya Kyle Might I recommend a PCP&C?
(sorry for all the edits, I'm on lots of meds right now, kinda out of it)
mohammedtaha said:What do you mean by stable ?
Are you saying that all PSU's can keep their 3.3/5/12 V rails at the same voltage under load ?
I beg to differ. The only PSU's that are capable of doing that are the PC P&C PSU's and I can record a video to prove it.

madmat said:This may be so but my Antec keeps my rails all within 1-2% under all conditions and that's stable enough to make the cost of a PCP&C PSU unjustifiable. They might not constanly be dead on 3.3v, 5.0v and 12.0v but hell, for $100+ less I'm not going to bitch.
Spectre said:By stable it means does not fluctuated from their base output versus under load.
No PC Power and Cooling are not the only ones they are just rated for the least variation from the spec at 1%. The Antec Truepower series are rated at 3% and spec compliance is 5%. I have PSU's other than PC Power and Cooling that do not budge under load (but not any modular ones.....however the modular do remain in spec). PSU's from a variety of manufacturers can be dead on but be rated for more varaince from 3.3/5/12.
What kind of video do you have? Are you taking a multimeter reading?
mohammedtaha said:Yes, this thing is @ 12.00V Idle, & 12.00V load. I have an X800 XT PE video card 2 hd's, 1 cd burner and 2 fans and 2x 512 ocz plat. pc 3200 rev. 2 ram. CPU: P4 3.2E
All my readings are using a digital multimeter.
Spectre said:Ok and? I can go to my workbench at home and record a Zippy that does the same, and a Seasonic...........
PC Power and Cooling is not the only company that has supplies that can do it....they are simply rated for the least variance from the spec.
mohammedtaha said:How many watts are the Zippy and the Seasonic ? On what systems are you testing them?
mohammedtaha said:I'm not saying within 1-2%. This PSU is rock stable. It does not budge from 12.00V load or idle.

canislupy said:imagine the uproar if Kyle had a PCP&C PSU fail.
Ahh... sadness... do you think ANYONE involved in 'streams of revenue' would so ardently stick to what he needs. Example: Kyle need to MULTITASK and game. He uses a p4 while that is the best hardware for his needs. When Amd comes out with a better choice, he switches.J-Mag said:However, I am sure you will use a product openly if it represents a stream of revenue (direct or indirect) for you.
Didn't you know Tiger Woods secretly wants to wear Reebok?

OPUS1 said:Sorry for your loss KB
But damit cleanup dem der wires
Ice Czar said:mota had one go and take the mobo with it
any PSU can fail, some just seem to make a habit of it
sorry for the bad luck Boss
are memorial services planned? and more importantly when is the wake?
friends we are gathered here today to bid farewell to this PSU
he was a lively fellow with an electric personality
everyone would just light up when he walked into a room
the future looks so dark without him, he will be missed but not forgotten
(largely do to the news coverage of his untimely demise)
wakes are for levity after all
no disrespect to the deceased
saturnine2 said:Kyle, I apologize for the mean/snooty sounding op. I really didnt consider the implications of this thread when I started it
Anyways, good luck with that TT PSU.
dekard said:Kyle, thanks for an awesome website. I'm sorry it took me so long to find it, as I went years on lesser clones.
And, sorry about your PSU. Its never fun to loose hardware, especially when you have work to do and it fails at a bad time. (aren't they all bad times?)

Your comments are cold, unthankful and almost certainly: WRONG.
burningrave101 said:I certainly wasn't laughing at you cause you lost a piece of hardware though cause it sucks and your lucky it didn't take out some other components along with it. I only laughed cause you blew us all off when we warned you about it. I just still am really surprised you dont have a PCP&C unit running in your machine with the cost of some of your other hardware in there like that cool new X2 4800+.
