Those the units that you are referring to?

I wouldnt touch them, if you look at their ripple and noise specs it says

+3.3V/80mV +5V/80mV +12V/150mV -5V/200mV -12V/240mV +5VSB/80mV


BTW, ATX spec only permits 50mV ripple on the 3.3V and 5V rail and 120mV on the 12V rail, if even in their own testing they can stay inside ATX spec this thing will do everything in its power to kill your machine.

The MTBF of 20k hours at 25C is obscenely low, good units rate themselves at 100k hours at 30-50C.

Get the Corsair if you can.

Don't... Just don't... I was forced to use one of these, had no other choice... It can't power a old core2duo and a radeon 4830. I would rather go with MS rather than gtt...

Do not ever use that PSU. If it blows (which it will due to the ripple currents and low-quality construction), it will damage other components in your power supply. Get an 80 Plus Bronze/Silver/Gold/Platinum PSU from either XFX, SeaSonic, or Corsair. I recommend the Corsair RM 650.

I know it's bad and there is a high risk of blowing up... Just need to get some money... BTW, is chieftec good?
