Redbeard said:Early indications are making it tough to reproduce. However, I didn't really put a significant load on it. I've given it to one of our engineers to test on our Chroma, so I'll let you guys know tomorrow or so when he gets back to me.
Nielo TM said:Is there any other way to check the buzzing noise on lower watts cos I doubt my PC can reach 300W?
In other words, how do I check it to make sure mine is functioning properly?
Redbeard said:Nielo, I love you man, between all the PMs and the posts, you might be the most worried guy in the world when it comes to this power supply.
Don't sweat it! You have a 5 year warranty. If anything at all goes wrong within that 5 years we'll replace it for you.
I don't think this is a serious issue. If it becomes one, we'll adapt and fix it for each and every customer. I don't think you have anything to worry about. The noise is most likely a coil and should have no effect on performance.
Don't worry about it man. It'll be okay.

ToastMaster said:Hey Redbeard,
by any chance, do you think that when the DX10 cards come out, if it's true that they'll use up to 300W of power, would the HX620 PSU be up to powering that plus the other standard components? I saw where you stated what the 520 itself was powering, interms of the SLI setup, and I figure that that SLI setup is probably pulling almost as much as 300 W possibly.
I'm trying to get a relatively 6month-to-a-year "future-proof" PSU, although I know Anandtech and others have made a big deal about how DX10-card users are going to *need* 1000W/1200W PSUs or supplemental PSUs.
That makes two of us. I'd been lookin', this thread made me decide.Granthos said:ty then i will def be getting this

Wow, that was fast.jonnyGURU said:The Silverstone costs a lot less, but isn't modular.
The Corsair costs a bit more, but it's modular.
CRXican said:Wow, that was fast.
I see the Silverstone for $95 and the Corsair can be had for $120. That really isn't too much of a difference. I guess I get to decide if modular means enough to spend that extra cash though.
Those XCilo's are very nice PSU's for the money.CRXican said:bumping this thread again because it should be usefull to others and for an update
The XClio 450BL came back in stock at newegg so I grabbed that instead. Just under $60 with tax and shipping
I couldn't justify a PSU that is more "up to date" than my PC (I'm on skt 754 and AGP). My friends system will be nearly the same so the 450BL should serve him well and I saved at least $40.

PCMusicGuy said:Just as an update for these power supplies. I love mine but have to RMA it (620W variant). It buzzes very audibly to me. Mine was one of the first shipments to ZZF and I just installed it within the past couple of days on a new build. On the plus side though, the fan is dead silent as far as I can tell.

Damn good ones too!Slider19 said:Corsair makes PSU's?
I've been away from the coputer upgrades market for too long.

Steve L. just emailed me my tracking number, so I should be able to review the 620W this weekend.Redbeard said:We sell some of the best PSUs on the market, I think. In fact, I think you should buy 2 or 3 because they're just that good!
lol ya cos I can easily choose MBs, RAMs, HDDs, GFXs, optical drives etc... but choosing a PSU is the hardest of them all (at least for me anyway lol).
I have both of those actually. They both get the job done just fine. I like the Corsair more because it is modular and doesn't have a led fan. Of course, those are things you know before you buy it, and shouldn't be held against the OCZ. Jonny reviewed both and found that the OCZ had too much ripple on some of the tests, but from what I remember, that was when the unit was pretty maxed out, so I'd take that into account.
What are the specs of the system you're building?
