Not trolling one bit sir! That PSU was a trooper! Went through 8800 GTS 640 to 8800 GTS 640 SLI to GTX 260 to GTX 285 without an issue. Like I said though, I could have just gotten a good unit. I still have pictures of that machine while deployed to iraq
Oh no, the "must be trolling" wasn't directed at you! I meant jcgeny and his post, which I quoted so as to indicate who I'm replying to. Sorry if I caused any mix-up.
Anyway, you did get a good sample, but in general, the LSP series was made by Andyson, who are capable of making a decent PSU, they just don't tend to do it too often if you don't really spur them on to do it. Andyson have a nasty habit of overestimating their PSUs by about 100W, and then Ultra did the same, so the "650" you had was more like 450. And that's in 25°C ambient. Your usage scenario probably had it max out at the 350 I spoke of. Still, thankfully, computer hardware isn't nearly as power-hungry as the PSU makers and ignoramuses make it out to be, so the LSP held up like a trooper.
Consider yourself fortunate, but I'd steer clear of Ultra in general, if I can help it.
