2 Most Recommended PSU'S : FAILED

[HAVOC]

Tomshardware conducted a few week long stress test on most of the TOP names in Power Supplies. These tests we conducted in extreme conditions and taxed the PSU's to a heavy degree.

Two PSU'S that i've seen recommended in this forum on a day to day basis are the ANTEC & OCZ PSU'S. These are also (2) of the many that failed to live up to their specifications or just plain failed during the testing. There are some no-name PSU's that were tested and out performed even the KING of all PSU's (PCP&C).

May-be it's time to start recommending quality and stop recommending just big names.

I would like a second party to conduct the same test.

I seems fishy that the PSU's had the EXACT SAME OUTPUT POWER AS RATED since it's very temperature dependant.

PCP&C rates their's at 50 degrees, so in average conditions they put out more than advertised

Chris, those ratings aren't a measurement of the temperature that a power supply will produce...

Those ratings are an "Operating Temperature" or The range of (ambient temperatures) within which a power supply can be safely operated. (0C to 50C) is one of the manufacturers variables that it uses to determine (MTTF or Mean Time To Failure).

Lack of responce?
