The *Product Review Request* Thread

[ionicle]

Mine broke on me, burning out several parts, and ionicle's burnt out on him, frying his entire pc, and that wasnt just user error (like usual) his psu actually did blow.

I know of other people with the problem of somthing burning out, and it letting 240V streight through, and frying everything, i have never seen such a buggy psu, i think i might go to ebuyer extra value, more reliable.

I won't comment on Ionicles daily "user errors," but I'm not too fond of their PSU's either. I checked one out in person @ Frozen CPU. It's light as hell, and the internals dont look quality at all. Looks cheesy in real life.

 

[ionicle]

Mine is just sat on my desk, next to me, with scorch marks on it, if i had a digi camera, i would take a picture of it for all of ya, but your right, it is light, its like its almost made out of polastyrene.

The rails, on both mine and ionicle's were not too good, and just deteriorated during use, i would not recomend this psu to anyone.

Shame that, what model did you have?

 

[ionicle]

The Type R 580W Modular, in blue.

 

[Ham]

Odd.. meh. Back on topic people!

I've heard mixed reviews of them personally, some say they are great some say otherwise. What i do know is that the 580w is actually a relabeled lower wattage psu (540w i think), but hopefully the OC3D psu tester will show where it sits against the other units.

 

[ionicle]

Its going to fail, ....or so i hope, ...then everyone can see how crappy they are, and steer clear from them.

Me and a few other members have done many mouse mat reviews. Check them out.

 

[mrapoc]

lol yea but i only have like 30 cms (or less) mouse movement...wouldnt it be a waste if half of the mat was covered by the keyboard

rofl, I would just like to see if any of their claims are actually worth anything...

 

[JN]

Request for Killer NIC submitted. I'll let you know if/when we heard back

 

[FragTek]

What's the deal with the Killer NIC? What's supposed to be so great about it?

 

[mrapoc]

i just saw an AD for it :/ "New lower latency optimisation" So now i can play on a 56k modem and expect low pings?
