In reply to Roy.

I’m always amazed at the lengths some go through to scam people, when it would be easier to just build a better product.

It’s sad when motherboards are higher quality than a psu.

In reply to neozeed. but don't rely on weight to determine if PSU is good/high quality or not. There are low-tier PSUs use fake transformer filled with concrete/iron to increase weight.

Yeah no kidding.

It’s amazing the weight difference between the Antec & the GTR. I was trying to keep costs down, since I’ve been trying to get more uh ‘college’ aged kids internships and whatnot. although that’s not going as well as I had hoped. and kids these days, can’t even imagine something like C, let alone assembly….

and for me, I’d trust a PSU at 1HKD per watt. If it is < 0.7HKD per watt you should really think if it is really capable to provide power as its label says.

Wow, it blew up finally. Luckily you’re here to handle the issue. In unattended situation, such issue can blow up whole flat.
