commodore Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Most posts in this forum are related to troubleshooting or queries. I thought i'd go off-track and commend the guys at Corsair/Seasonic for making a great PSU. I overclock all my rigs and this is the first time i have not even bothered to check the voltage rails for ripple. :!: That says a lot about the HX620 although the only drawback is that it cost me an arm and a leg here in India. Also, despite my initial misgivings .. my Abit IP35-E works just great with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeBob Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I've been using mine since May and it's been working great. Silent, and no strange sounds or issues. I've only had mostly bad and mediocre PSUs in the past, but this time I went all out and spent money on a good one, it's after all not a component that should be skimped on. Clean and stable power assures the reliable operation of the rest of the PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krishcanag Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I don't understand why any PSU with sufficient power should have any compatability issues with any mobo, surely the idea of ATX was just that. krishan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliteKiller Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I don't understand why any PSU with sufficient power should have any compatability issues with any mobo, surely the idea of ATX was just that. krishan Your train of thought also applies to the JDEC spec for memory. How come brand XYZ works in one build, and in another identical build I have to adjust timings or voltages to get it to function properly, or the fact that it may not work at all? Food for thought.

krishcanag Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 sure is food for thought, and further more how are novices like me going to build a PC without it costing just as must buying one! if something goes wrong and we need to buy something else after we have sent a lot of time trying to find out why something won't work!! sounds like I am better of going and ordering a custom made PC so they have the problem, except I will not have the fun of building, aaaaaaaaa :[pouts: krishan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newegg is really good about waiving the restock if you are polite with the csr and follow their instruction(s). I've even had Newegg credit me for inconveniences and pay for return shipping when I receive a defective item. This is the main reason I don't mind paying a few bucks more for certain items that they carry. Their RMA is also one of the best in the business.

krishcanag Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Unfortunately I live in england, the land of grey weather!!:D: Here they all have a 20% restock fee, no getting away, even when it is defective they check it fully before agreeing to change it. krishan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 7, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 7, 2008 I don't understand why any PSU with sufficient power should have any compatability issues with any mobo, surely the idea of ATX was just that. krishan From ATX v 1.3 to v 2.0 there were some changes to the spec, and a board that was designed to function with v1.3 may not function properly with a PSU designed specifically to abide by the 2.0+ spec. In many cases a BIOS update can solve this issue, however many older boards are no longer actively supported by manufacturers and the BIOS updates simply are not available.
