Hi,

i.v just got a Q-tec 550wp gold plated p.s.u. with 2/80mm fans 30a

Taken out ov a old p.c. which had a shot Mobo with a shot cap,

and iv just put it in 2 my internet p.c. spec is,

psu/celerron-D 3Gig soc 478 256c 553fsb

ram/ 1x3200 512 / 1x2700 512 ddr

hd/ seagate ide 20 gig ata100

dvd/ 2xburners

agp/ gigabite 6800gt 256ram

the thing is i hear that people saying on the net that Q-tec are a Bad p.s.u.

and cant put out 550watts at full load just 400watts max.?

are Q-tec that bad.?

am i takeing a risk by useing the p.s.u. in my p.c. spec.

I aint useing the rig for any games just for the net.

has any one on hear had a Q-tec p.s.u. go Bang on them befor.?
 
Take it out and bin it. It wouldn't surprise me if the Q-Tec killed the motherboard in the previous system.

For £30-35 you can get a PSU that will run that system no problems and now put you in danger of a totally fried system...or worse.
 
noooo not qtec i thought they died

bin it before it breaks your HOUSE!

those things are DEADLY!!!

get rid at once!

you are taking a MAJOR risk by using that psu for any length of time
 
Dam are there that bad Q-tec is now out old p.s.u. back in thanxs for the info you 2.

there are noisy p.s.u.s Q-tec ones.

It may be a little bit lower on the old wattage numbers than some of the other mentioned units, but I bet you it delivers more stable power.

True that, having the watts high doesn't mean much really, as long as it's a constant flow across the rails.

Stable > all :D.
