Just thought I would follow up:
1. Motherboard/Procs/RAM/cards/etc are all okay; the Antec didn't kill them
when it popped
2. The SeaSonic appears to be doing a good job. My 12V rail is higher than
with the Antec, but the +5 rail is about 0.04V lower.
3. Antec's RMA procedure is absurd. They
1. good to hear!
2. They can only tell the manufacture date from the serial number. which
should be enough esp on a 1 year old unit that has 3 year warranty. BS
for sure to have to Fax and not having an online/email RMA process is
just not acceptable these days
I still need to call DLink to
So, I have lost all faith in Antec's power supplies. 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
Hmm. That sux. I have an Antec Tru 480 sittng here on the floor as my
backup supply. Bought it after reading here and other places that they
were OK, and that Enermax had gone downhill somewhat.
Luckily the older Enermax in the tower is still going strong for now.
So, I have lost all

Wow, that sucks and doesn't sound good for Antec. Are you going to at least
RMA them back to Antec to see if they'll stand behind them repair wise?
