What a freakin nice looking toy Gunslinger.

3 motherboards down, time to reload I guess. I think I have a PSU issue...

[Kal-EL]

Dayum, super punt that PSU for killin 3.

i thought the thermalbake died?? did the HX too?

[Gunslinger]

Using the HX on my REX and the 790i results in CPU INIT on the REX and "FF" on the 790i.

The TT PSU had a burnt smell to it, so its definately toast. The HX was tied in there with it when it croaked though, wonder if it was wounded as well...

[DrNip]

When in doubt a PSU problem don't use it as you stand the chance of toasting other hardware.

[Gunslinger]

I'll have another HX1000 on Tuesday to test my theory. Just hope the REX and 790 are ok. I'll have to double check the classified as well. Might actually be alright

I pity anyone with toasted hardware. The financial loss is bad enough. The time lost is devastating. The latest and greates hardware is antiquated junk in a few months.
I went through several TT PSUs that should have been more than adequate for the job. I fried a 750 and two 1200s. Mobo, RAM, and GPUs died along with the PSUs. In my opinion TT is extemely sensitive and easily toasted. Overload protection doesn't seem to exist. I'll never use one again. My PCP&C 1200 is still smiling and defiant after considerable beatings and waterboardings. It begs for more. I wish they would quit screwing around and make a 240v 2000w model.

No thermaltake PSUs. Been my mantra since I got one that was 4 or 500W with a 40AMP 5 volt rail :p;

Personally, I do not like the corsair units either, but they review very well.

[Gunslinger]

I've had decent luck with my TT, and was shocked to have an RMA number within 30 minutes of submitting my RMA claim.

I'll be looking for alternatives though for sure come January when my hardware budget starts over. I'm stuck with what I have until then.
