glad to see this is finally going in the right direction

Adz, If you want to borrow the 1200 give us a shout

you've said: nobody is disputing what a capacitor does, it appears this 'special' PSU is releasing charge into the PC after the PC is switched off, if this is the case - is this a feature (lol) or fault? ...I know my ax1200i doesn't do this lol what are you on about, please quote where I have spurted that crap? you obviously want to believe that ...maybe the 'real' corsair engineer should come on this thread and give a sensible suggestion as there is certainly some 'thin air. ;):' coming out of you :roll: anyways so adz: you've tried the following with the same issue: a new molex cable a new connector on the psu plugging the fans to the motherboard directly hope you get it sorted soon, don't want the rest of your hardware to go 'lights out' (no pun intended). Good luck

I am, promise http://i.imgur.com/zWmEz.gif

I thought you were off your head, but now I know you are :roll: read this dribble you posted and try not to laugh at the same time :D: I'm bringing some popcorn, :D maybe you'll bring some sensible suggestions to the table, I wont hold my breath though ;): the OCZ 700w behaves normally, switches all devices off instantly when the system is shut down the faulty Corsair 1000w keeps the fan leds on (god knows what else) what could it be??? lol

are you sure you know what you are talking about, because this sounds like a load of nonsense... it sounds like a dodgy psu, a quick google shows others reporting similar, see here also: http://www.techrepublic.com/forums/questions/case-fans-hard-drive-led-light-on-after-shutdown/#. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-performance/fans-and-leds-stay-on-after-shutdown/59253d5b-cdea-4c7f-bc1e-5d237c12520e it's a dodgy psu... is your hdd light still on? (assuming you plugged the led connectors the right way round on the motherboard :p)
