I am using the Enermax 3in1 650 watt power supply 2 @ 2.8 Xeons ATI X700 video 1394b fire wire card 64 bit Raid Card 3 @ 10k rpm drives 5 @ 7.2k rpm drives 2 optical drives 1 floppy 2 @ 1 gig ddr2 2 @ 120 mm fans 2 @ 80 mm fans 2 @ 60 mm fans Fans in the ps
I have been using the ps for 1.5 yrs although the xeons were added only 6 months ago. Is that utility specific to the Antec in terms of reporting voltage or will it work on any ps?

I have three of them here...two of them have died in the last two weeks. They exist in different ZIP codes, so it wasn't a surge. Both are behind UPS. The first simply stopped providing a high +5v rail, the second went snap, crackle, pop, and smoke tonight while I was typing an essay. Both were True550's...two dead within two weeks is enough to scare me away. I was even willing to forgive the first failure...but not two. So what did I replace it with? A Seasonic S12 600W. $188 shipped next-day air from Newegg. I would have liked to have gone with a PCP&C Turbo-Cool 510W, but that would have been >$250 by the time you include next day air shipping. Sparkle/FSP doesn't make a unit that provided the sort of current/rail combinations I was looking for. Luckily, my hard drives appear to have survived the failure. I have no idea if the motherboard/CPUs/RAM/cards are still OK, as my emergency FSP 400W is out on loan, and all other power supplies are back at home. Bleh. Greg
