I have the PCPnC 850W... Rails are way off (~3.5%), some are even "unstable" (current is bouncing up and down all the time... fluctuation it's called?), I've checked with a MM. Noise level is way off too (extremely annoying buzzing sound, high volume "DBA" too!).
Honestly, I think you'd be happier with a quiet Seasonic/Enermax/OCZ (whichever's your favorite).
wow thats gotta be the first bad PCPnC ive heard of.....maby an RMA is in order for you.....thats way off from the norm they make great stuff
--- CG ---
Based on your system specs shown... the 510.
---slider---
You need to call PCPnC and talk to them about it. They guarantee 1% regulation, 1% ripple... and that "buzzing sound" sounds like something may have come loose in shipping.
k thanks for the help also i just being thing that both my systms have cheap PSU so i migth buy two Ocz Powerstrem instead of just one PCPnC not sure yet

AMD Phenom II 720 @ 3.8ghz
DFI Lanparty DK 790FXB-M2RS
2x2GB Corsair XMS2 PC8500
Gainward HD4870 1GB @ 860/1130
Thermaltake TP 750w
Custom Water

with the systems in his sig he would be able to use one of the silencer series psus. They are cheaper but still high quality and better than alot of other power supplies in the same price range. And besides if you need different type connectors all you have to do is call them and they will build it for you.
With the hardware that I see you are using I think the silencer 410 would be more than enough for you.

I saw many reports similar to this. One of them was hipro's.Originally Posted by IYP
510 Sli
Both systems would be well served by OCZ PowerStream 420W's @ about $80 each.My Main System:

The PC P&C 850W must be heavily loaded to work properly &
that is almost impossible without dual CPU's & 10X HDD's!
Anyone recommending an Ultra PSU should be put to a slow & very painful death!
I hope these help.

PcPnC 510 Deluxe=Normal w/Pots
PcPnC 510 Express=Added 1xPCI-E connector w/Pots
PCPnC 510 SLI=Added 2xPCI-E connector w/Pots
I'm using PCPnC 510 SLI right now. Seems ok except it's little loud. Though, my previous PSU was coolmax 480W fanless so everything after that seems loud to me.
You could just get a hiper type-r like mine - EXCELLENT value for money. Should be plently for your rig. Silent as anything when idle, but makes itself heard under heavy load, but have heard much louder ones. If you really need the power, the hiper type-r modular 580W ones are good too.
PS: Hows the rig coming along?managed to OC it yet?

I have had my 510w SLI for since a month or two after they released the sucker. Anyway, I had to unscrew man fan grill because with it on it forced the fan blades to clip the edge of the heatsink making a buzzing type noise.
I think this might be due to the way they secure their fans for standard PSU mounts. I have one of th ev series Lian Li cases in which the PSU's are mounted upside down. I don't think they had a contingency for this situation. Either that or the glue broke during shipment like you mentioned...
