i think cause i started the thread and use to brag i could run my vapo PE and system with a 6800 ultra with a 300 watt fortron when my 550 antec volts were too low and no volt mods for my certain antec PS version.
I sold the PE with a 350 fortron. put a the 300 fortron in my duallie xeon 2.8 rig @ 3.85 each and. overdid with a 530 fortron in my Vapo LS.

I found this a good thread for finding stuff though. Good work to who thought it up.

wow its been a while :D
hit me up on a messanger :)
how are you doing?
hows the business going?

lol ted, i still have my fortron 350W psu and its still keeping its 14v 5.8v 3.6v nice n stable with my x850xtpe and a winnie at 2.8ghz :D
i think i could even power an amd dual core rig with this baby :D
unfortunately fortron cancelled their top line of psus, they only manufacture the cheap standard series now afaik :/
still good psus, but not as good and underrated as the old performence series :(
