nick2114 · 08-12-2004, 03:17 PM

i just ordered 2 new powmax cases for around $30 each. i heard powmax wasnt to good with their psu but i took a shot with them. anyone have anything positive or negative about them? the first case has 450w and the second one has 400w.

I got a couple of the powmax al cases with PS a couple months ago localy and have lost 1 400w ps already. I just use them for folding so they do run under 100% cpu load 24/7.

do you think it would be more stable if i added another fan to the psu? or maybe theres something i could do to make it a little better any ideas?

I'll tell you what will make it better

spend $35 on a fortron 350w

that is all

I lost a motherboard when my powmax crapped out (3 months after I got it)

run big fans on it.

that's about all you can do

I'm just warning you, if it goes down, it may take something with it.
