Hi. I'm trying to buy one of these two Arctic Cooling fans and I don't know which one. What do you think? -> The Accelero Twin Turbo -> The Accelero Extreme 9800 The video card is an Asus 9800 GTX manually overclocked. I am planning on further overclocking but without volt modding...

Hi, it's me with another PSU problem, as if my endless streak of PSU issues isn't enough. My brand new Xigmatek NRP-MC651 PSU (only 1-2 weeks old) started making a strange clicking/crackling noise. I pulled it out and listened carefully... It's the fan, 100% sure. This clicking noise slowly...

The strange this is that this sound is a lot less noticeable when the system is under load ... It's loudest when the computer is turned off.

Hi, bad luck seems to be following me everywhere. I just sent my "high-pitched sound emiting" Thermaltake TR 550W to RMA. I just bought a brand new Xigmatek NRP-MC651 650W PSU. This was yesterday. Everything works really well, it only gets slightly warm. But then I wanted to listen to it to...

Yeah, well thanks, I just hope I don't have one of those "fry-everythin" shortcircuit moments with this Chieftec.

Results look good, but I'm still a bit worried about the company and their quality. Can't find any review on their PSUs...

What do you mean by that ?

Well there's no turning back now, it's on it's way now ... I'd be happy if it's Delta, that would take a lot of concert off my back, but not all. I'm still not sure about Chieftec. I can't find any review about it's power supplies. By weak company I meant a company that isn't that hyped or...

Damn, I just ordered that PSU ... I'm started too feel sorry about my choice. Don't have any more money for another PSU though... I'll get a new Thermaltake 550 W TR2 from the RMA in 2 weeks time. What should I use... This 650 W PSU made from a weak company or the 550 W made from a good...

Woah, fast reply, why is it that bad ?

Hi, I just found a nice offer for a Chieftec 650 W PSU (4 x 12 V rails @ 18 A). I'm just wondering: Is Chieftec a good company? Can I trust their products? Has anyone else tried their PSU/products? I never heard of Chieftec until recently. I just hope this isn't some cheap company.

Well here's the strange part : I tried removing the GPU and all my 6 fans, it still makes the same sound: Even under-clocked it's making the sound. And most of all, it's making the sound even when the PSU is jump-started so it runs by itself with nothing connected to it.

I was thinking of buying one of those Thermaltake PSU Testers, that supposedly show if a PSU is working well or failing. What do you think?

Well it's strange that it makes this sound even when it has zero load, with just the PSU started.

I tried to jump start the PSU, it still made that noise with nothing connected to it / no components / no load. So it does this sound regardless of load...
