News RAIDMAX 400Watt PSU at GruntvillE

GruntvillE takes a look at a pretty blue PSU from Raidmax and gets some interesting results:

​

"Now being the Gung-Ho kind of guy I am I just plugged everything I had in the case into the PSU with no regard as to exactly how much currant was being drawn by all my equipment. The list of stuff I initially plugged in was 2 40 Gig HD's with SATA Adapters, 1 200 Gig HD, 3 optical drives, a Vantec tornado, an SVC quad UV LED fan, an 8000rpm Delta 60mm, the L.I.S. and a set of Green CCFL's not to mention the Multitude of USB devices that I use. So after hooking everything in the case up, I switched it on and everything seemed to be fine at first but then I tried opening up a simple chat Program and my Comp froze requiring a hard boot. This happened 3 times before I finely decided I might be pushing the PSU a little too hard. So I disconnected the Tornado and set my Processor to stock settings and voltages and turned off the CCFL's and rebooted. Everything started working fine. Whew I thought something was seriously wrong come to find out my computer just plain sucks a lot of Juice."
