Hi group,
I bought a Coolmax PS which was touted as the latest
and greatest and then it died. When I opened it up I
found the output crowded with puffy, oozing
electrolytic caps, most made by Fuhjyyu. A search for
Fuhjyyu on Google revealed that I'm not alone.
Can somebody recommend a *reliable*, up-to-date PS,
=400W with a 120mm fan?

Hi,
I've used several LC6550 "Super Silent" PS without any problem (with AMD
Athlon 64 and AMD Athlon 64 X2 processors). 550W and 120mm fan.

I just had a Coolmax CP-500T to burn out. I blew the dust out and some
knot head left a rubber band in it and it got caught up in my fan. We
all know what happened about 10 minutes later. Thing did run a while
with 0 cooling tho. I run folding with three hard drives spinning so it
had a good load on it.
I did like the power supply tho. It had a 120mm fan and was real
quiet. I couldn't hear it over the other noise in the case. I do have
several other fans running tho, including the CPU which runs pretty good
too.
This may help some. Lots of links too.
