What review? There's nothing faulty with my equipment.

Where you have 230VAC. I'm in the states where we use 115VAC and efficiency is lower.

Ha ha! Yeah... I guess so. I didn't think anyone ever read that. :p:

I care. What is it? :p:

I never said BFG PSU's were dying as a result. I've been in the industry for over a decade and have ALWAYS seen PSU's die from shorting and leave piles of flaming insulation in their path. When...

Well.. not to give anyone any excuses, but the 13th was a Friday. It may have been business as usual for everyone before they went home for the weekend. Then Monday, everyone came in and was told...

XFX is modular, the Corsair is not. I guess if modularity doesn't matter to you....

Are we talking redundant PSU's (like in a rackmount server arrangement) or UPS's here?

I would think if you were to bootleg something, you would make it look like the original product as much as possible, no? This box is a complete redux with the only consistancy being the brand name....

Actually... it's not the same people doing it again. The guys that founded BFG were not founders of Visiontek, they just worked at Visiontek and maybe saw the light at the end of the tunnel. And...

Guys... stop reading between the lines and quoting me out of context or only portions of what I said. I never said Nvidia denied Fermi allocation to BFG. I said Fermi was a bigger part of things...

Corpses don't get black eyes.

Nope. Taiwanese. Even before they were acquired by Palit.

Thanks. That means a lot. Really.





No.. it probably happened. One of the guys went to work for CoolIT and in the interim he went to QuakeCon. You saw him at QuakeCon, right?

No. Not even three months ago. A link to that information is in the OP: http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/news/video/bfg-leaves-gpu-market-focus-psus-laptops-pcs/

Nope.

But at least I get to do a review for the ol' website with all my spare time. ;)

Teapo caps are not "bad caps". They got a bad rap because of some bad mobo caps some years ago.... and those caps were BAD, but for PSU caps they've been trusted by companies like Enhance, Seasonic,...

The HX520 and HX620 are actually single +12V rail units. This was done by Seasonic without Corsair's knowledge.

For the record... It wouldn't matter either way. Any modern PSU, even with...

They're two different things. I wanted to make sure that was clear.

Term for what? DC to DC is called DC to DC or "D2D". LLC Resonant is what BFG was marketing as "Frequency Conversion" a few years back. LLC Resonant topology uses a resonant mode controller to...

As soon as you open the unit you're going to void the warranty.

Leave the baffle. It's there for a reason. In the review, we said it was cause for high exhaust temps, but that's because the air...

Yep. But it's cool. You don't know until you ask. :D



Better than a paper clip and a tongue. ;)

I rather like my SM-8800 and SM-220. Trying to get a second SM-268 up to Wolf sometime...

Ok. Big difference between a PSU that sells for $120 and one that's on sale for a short period of time for 40% off making it $120. Who knows how the sale was funded. Monthly arketing funds?...

You mean that the other way around, right? A Thermaltake 1200/1500W is a rebranded CWT. Thermaltake doesn't actually manufacture anything.

Can I say that this Everest is in fact an Andyson MT9? Show me pics of the inside and I'll tell you in a heart beat. The MT9 looks very unique inside due to it's layout. The bigger switch and LED...
