Hi All, Just a quick update. Our QA manager has informed me that they found one unit where a post production ECN had a cold-solder hand solder rework and this unit exhibited the same symptoms as what was posted here. Apparently, a SMD component in the fan control circuit was changed after the produ...

I am simply reporting my experiences No: your experience is about a single 1200W unit, while saying: "avoid any of the Seasonic Platinum Series" is an unjustified overreaction. Broadly speaking, I'm sorry for you (even if you satisfactorily solved your problem), but that single experience doesn't e...

I have placed all reviews on the current Seasonic into the advertorial basket from here on in , not one reported the issue. It doesn't seem exact: at least TPU pointed out an aggressive fan controller behaviour: "Temperatures inside our hotbox were also high enough to nullify its passive operation ...

O.K, most likely just the XP3's then, but there is post earlier where someone noted fan noise issues with a 660 XP2.

Hey Killi, As I posted at JG , I have returned the unopened units but have held onto the existing unit to test a theory whether the fan issue is due to the system being a Dual CPU , but reading in on your other thread and seeing you are using a single socket x58 Xeon system , I am not going to waste...

Further follow up. System has completed Burn In successfully so the unit is solid, but the fan profiling is completely flawed on the new XP3 range. The simple fact that switching to the "Normal" Silent Mode immediately sends the fan into a consistent high and very audible rate should have been sound...

I've deliberately chosen a PSU with a lot of headroom for two reasons: to be future proof, and to not load the unit so much that it's fan has to spin at a high speed. Unfortunately, this unit seems to be pretty loud at the lowest fan setting already. "Is it just me"? ;) I'll add my recent experienc...

Hi All,

Stocks of both the new S12's and M12's are now available in Australia.

I have ordered both a S12 550 & an M12 700.

I will have both Monday ..

I'll drop back with a report once I get a chance to run them up..

Peace:

Hi, I am researching PSU options for a new Dual Dualcore Woodcrest system using a SuperMicro motherboard : X7DAE : It is listed that it requires 24 / 8 / 4 pin 12V connectors, I am unsure whether that specifically means seperate 12V rails. I have found that the Thermaltake Tough Power 600-750 units ...

[ Could you clarify this for us? Is it just the 80mm that has no RPM monitoring, or all three sizes? I can find no mention of a tach (RPM) signal on the A-C site in the fan specifications. Hi, None of the fans have RPM monitoring unfortunately :-( I just tested the 80mm fan, its actually the best o...

Hi All, Just took delivery of some sample 80mm, 92mm, and 120 mm fans. Overall quality and finish is impressive, with cabling nicely sleeved. Performance : In short the 92 mm display a constant and very noticable motor hum right down to about 5 volt, which negates any usefullness to me as a CPU cool...

I have not been online much lately - but I went to purchase some fans from "PC Case Gear" in Au and to my surprise According to them Panaflo fans are now made by NMB ! Has anybody heard anything about this ? LINK :- http://www.pccasegear.com/category33_1.htm I'll just add my 2 cents in here.. I hav...

It seems to make a low 'growling' sound for want of a better description. I was expecting to hear 'air'flow' noise but not any 'mechanical' type sounds. ! Hey Stew, That makes two of us :-) I have experienced the exact same problem with the 7700 I purchased recently. ShaftOrz has reported that his ...
