No!! Silverstone Strider 600w dead?

[roper512]

Hey all, I made a thread on hardocp a week or so ago about a problem I was having with my setup..

I have Asus A8N-SLI Premium and latest BIOS, I have 2 512 meg 7800GTX's (evga) and I _HAD_ an Antec 550w TruePower 2...

I bought a Silverstone Strider 600w PSU because of a recommendation from a user who had the same setup I had...

At first, the PSU worked fine for a couple of hours in games that normally shut down the system in 5 minutes..

Unfortunately this morning after a couple hours of World of Warcraft (which actualy never shut down my system) the PSU shut down.. It made clicking noises for about 2 minutes after shutting down..

It now doesn't power back on.. The Antec would at least power back on..

I have a Silverstone Strider series in one if my boxes.......No problems with it though....Yours might just be a fluke

hmmm yeah.. i just find it weird that my "inferior" antec 550watt will always power on again, whereas the silverstone turned off once and crapped out and wont start again..

I also find it weird that the silverstone was playing games that i could only play on my antec for 5 minutes for a good amount of time, yet turned off while playing world of warcraft (a game i could play nonstop on my antec)... TOO CONFUSING!!!

hopefully it was just a dud, i dont want to haev to RMA another one =/

Ya.. You never get 100% manufacturing efficiency. Even if you did, there are numerous points in which it can be damaged between the factory, reseller/retailer, and your computer.
