I normally use Sparkle PSU's but was looking at a raidmax...

can anyone tell me anything about this? i like sparkle because the rails are very stable under load and you can tweak them. just curious if this is stable and can be tweaked too.
Dunno much about that PS, but curious, why not the Sparkle? :)

tweaking do u mean changin the voltage rails using a pot of some sort? I dont think you can do that on a Raidmax...but u can definitely do that on a TTGI psu...which is $47 for a 420w at www.aicmicro.com

the case is blue.... nothing more then color :D
just got the blue chieftech and it came with the turbolink 420W.... thats what im replacing. +5v is nice but the +12 is at 11.86 idle and 11.67 under load on my IT7/2.26.... doesnt matter if im at 133 or 166fsb. im running 1:1 timings now :rolleyes:. it goes even lower at 3:4.
if im sure i can tweak the rails like my sparkle or my old enhance id buy it.

Thanks Drozdov :D
ya , tweak = trimming the pots to get better rails.

Consider this (http://www.directron.com/tt500ss.html) PSU. Its actually a TTGI and has adjustable pot for 5v-12v.
