Well, be it heat, crappy PSU, or just bad luck.... I am comming to the inevidable conclusion that it is time for a new PSU. DAMN IT!! That's why I payed $140 about a year ago, so I would NOT have to buy another expensive PSU!!

Anyways, I have just spent 2+ hours combing the web for reviews and opinions about PSU and I am stuck between these two units:

Fortron- P530XF530W $78
Antec TRUE550 550W $125

According to the lables on both units, they both seem to have dedicated power circutry for each rail. Also I have read many good reviews on the Antec (and had good luck with them in the past) and the Fortron.

I am tempted by the Fortron but the Antec almost seems like a better long term purchase............then again I thought the Enermax was a good long-term investment...

IF any one has any suggestions to what I might be able to do to save the Enermax, I would like to hear it otherwise please put in your votes for which PSU I should INVEST in.

Thank you

BTW I did open up the Enermax, there are no trim pots.....DAMN!
