I've been around for almost five years now and I have never considered that to be true. I've always felt we've had one of the more open and understanding communities here at OC3D. I would be sad and disappointed if that has changed in the time that I've been less active.

To be honest I don't mind links to other sites being posted so long as it's not in excess, and the content on there isn't going to mislead our readers.

We're never going to be like two certain other websites in the UK that actually block the word 'overclock3d' from being posted on their forums. Tut tut

Because for it to get the PSU Certification from OC3D, it had to pass extremely stringent test conditions, including being only 2% off the target 3.3v on the 3.3v rail, which was where it failed. Since at full load on that rail it had to be no less than 3.234v, but it hit 3.21, which falls outside 2% therefore it failed. If it was able to pass the 3.3v test, than it probably would have gotten a Gold Award as well as a certificate.

For a PSU to get approved by OC3D, it will have to be the best PSU in the market, even than I doubt the best PSUs out there right now are capable of succeeding.
