Re: Why you don't use cheap/budget PSU's in your PC
So do you really believe a manufacturer when they post videos of competitors' products? I don't. |

No, but in this case I do  A lot of cheap PSU's do fail and often take systems (and more) with them, that was the main reason I posted this video, this wasn't a "buy their PSU, the others are junk" post.

That's just it, you DON'T see what they're "doing" - and one can easily cause a short to make the PSU blow. What was the "draw"? It wasn't running a MB AFAICT - since the P4 wasn't connected.
Naturally THEIR power supplies, not shown testing in the video oddly enough, don't have this problem..... Riiiiight. |

Round Rock, TX | It also didn't say how they were doing the 300+- watt load. Was it distributed across the various voltage lines or was it all on a single 12V line? |
