• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Hard lesson learned...

I've had this ATX power supply for over 4 years now. It was like $50 back then, was a 550W when most power supplies barely made 350W. Its been solid and I've never had trouble. It has 25A on the single +12V rail. I figured 300W on the +12v pin would be plenty...

So I upgrade my computer, have an ECS KN3 sli board, AMD 4600+ x2, 2GB RAM and a 7950GT (one).

It booted loaded windows just fine, updates and all that went fine. Even played some 3d stuff fine, and it was great for about 2 days.

Then I played Vanguard and it was my first session that lasted longer than a few minutes.

An hour into it my CPU shuts off. I short the green cable and it turns on, but its making a funky high pitched noise. Grabbed my meter and found nothing on the +12V line.

New PS time, got one that has 18A on each +12V rail (two) and she's happy.
