Where have you found the OCZ for a tenner less?

I'd be happy with either the Antec or OCZ around that money.

Pickers · 20-04-2009, 17:55

scrub that - got confused with it all :/

Right, so maybe the OCZ then? Talks about quietness in reviews.. tho confused by the 6+2 pin PCI-E... I though PCIe were 6 pin only?

Big cards like the GTX295 (IIRC) take a 6pin and 8pin PCI-E connector.

Some less powerful ones take a 6 pin or 8 pin.

Thread Resurection
Have had to RMA the OCZ power supply as the fan inside is rattling like maad its driving me insane. Means once again the desktop is out of action :/

Anyone RMA'd OCZ before? I was wondering how quick the turnaround is, and also est advice for getting this sodding PSU shipped to Netherlands, earing in mind they wont refund postage costs.

I've had quite a few PSUs with fans that rattle a little. Dunno why but it seems a common trait. If it's rattling enough to annoy you then sounds like an RMA before it dies would be good.

Can't provide any advice on shipping however.

this isnt a little rattle. Its a propper Grinding.

well, £20 postage cost which I am expected to pay. Think I'll e sending back to ebuyer at this rate.

Had this from time to time. Take the PSU out, give it a good whack and then it will be quiet

Literally bottom of the fist thump.

You should be dealing with the retailer anyway at this stage, it's their responsibility.

Use a non-metallic AMD stoppage utensil to cause movement disruption.

Some people call it sticking a pencil in the fan.
