WTF, now sapphire psu???

DanishDevil · Feb 24, 2009, 03:39 AM

Wow, even with the $40 discount, this is VERY pricey for a 600W+ PSU. I wonder if it's made by a good manufacturer...

Edit: This is a rebranded PSU of mine. They changed the box, the sticker, paint on the PSU shell, and the little gold logo on the fan grill.

And I never liked the name of the PSUs either. Their last "fire PSU" lived up to its name and set systems on fire left and right. This one shouldn't though.

Interesting to say the least. Way too expensive though

Flyordie · Feb 24, 2009, 04:25 AM

lol, keep away from it. Sapphire Support Forums are completely against it so if what they say is true, its a crappy PSU.

DanishDevil · Feb 24, 2009, 05:34 AM

What do you mean they're against it?

PVTCaboose1337 · Feb 24, 2009, 12:10 PM

I had no idea Sapphire made PSU's... which is a good reason for me to stay away from it.

burebista · Feb 24, 2009, 12:31 PM

Old news.

They are Enermax OEM so it should be OK.

DanishDevil · Feb 24, 2009, 07:11 PM

Their PSUs from before they went Enermax were horrific

Binge · Feb 24, 2009, 07:30 PM

I don't want my PSU to even HINT at catching on FIRE

RevengE · Feb 24, 2009, 07:37 PM
