I've never had any problems with mine... pure power 480, over 2 years old, pushes this 6800gt, 2 ata 120's, 1 sata 120, 2 optical's, 7 case fans, vsense mod 3.3v to 3.63, vdimm @ 3.54v, vcore 1.55, and on and on... I shouldn't even post this, might jinx myself... :stick:

mebb luck is good on u..

mine ex butterfly 480W died in jus 2 month w/o any sign..darn

buying TT is jus like buying the bling effect :slap:

lol, a lot of people buy TT when they're first getting into pc's just cuz they advertise like mad and they look cool. After getting into it a while u learn though. As for power supply I'd recommend? Fortron 550 and Fortron 460. They are kickass.

TT has been improving compared with their older models but still nothing great. Better PSU's are out and alot of them less expensive too.

ya i would of gone for a a OCZ or a forton... but i love the modular part of the PSU.... and common the SPU isnt crap if it were a butter fly id say ya it a POS but ...... its not
and it have been runing awsome for the past day an 1/2..... but if it blows which i doubt ill be buying a forton or an OCZ........
and im not new to comps but polry you you im new... this will be my 3rd year building comps..... and ive build 3 and change just about every part on them b4 i built a new comp

I doubt it'll blow up. Lately their PSU's really aren't that bad. Just not extremely good like fortrons or oczs etc. It'll work well for you if you're not gonna do any xtreme overclocking probably.

mayby i should of said that its a good PSU for a mid-high end 24/7 rig.... i dont think it has a place on a bench with a DICE rig or a LN2 that is for PCP&C

Oh, well in that case!...lol....
