Antec SU-380 experiences?

Post by Thomas » Mon Mar 09, 2009 6:32 am

My brother have had two Antec SU-380 failing - the first one, lasted a couple of months, the second one lasted about 1½ year.

I did a search here, and didnt found reports of significant problems with this unit...

Is there problems in general with this PSU, or has he just been unlucky? He do consider buying another, instead of RMA'ing it.

Thanks,
Thomas

I've got one at work that came with an Antec NSK4400 case and it's been doing fine for a couple years now. No issues. Fairly low powered setup with a socket 754 Sempron 3000+ and GeFore 6100 chipset I think and 3 hard drives.

Thanks, you comment + the lack of post reporting problems, made the difference - my brother will RMA it 8)

Mine has also been running for without a hitch for about 2.5 years. I even put it in a relatives computer when I bought a Corsair to replace it. He's an online gamer, so it runs constantly.
