Yep it has screwed up my very gay Enermax psu. Now im wondering is there a way i can repair it so i wont have to send it to CHip-Con for monye back and no RMA power conditioner.

Those 2 wires at the bottom of the mosfet apparent got burnt bad. The little black heatsink fell right off and u can see the hot glue dip to one side.

If i cant fix it do u guys have any extra ATX power conditioners u are willing to sell me for any price. thanks

It sounds like your wiring is not right, the unit should boot at -33c. The conditioner is only to help on start up for heavy volted cpu,s. If yours is, back it down and then raise it back up once running.:)

From what I heard the conditioner was really only for heavy volted cpus like hardass said and to like make the boot up time a little faster. Chipcon stopped producing them and if you go and buy a prometeia today it doesn't come with a power conditioner. I think they were unnecessary...
