chalk up another dead hyper (r type 580)

This one had a silient death, dad came back from hols came back on and its gone. No power. Not even any funny smells. The light on the back comes on but no fans.

I need to get a replacement ASAP, its for a AMD64, with 1 6800 GS o/c, 1 hdd, 1 dvdrw, and just 2 x 120 fans.

I m thinking I should be able to get something like a

Tagan TG480-U01 480W ATX2.0 SLi Compliant Silent

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-007-TG&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=393

It should be enough!

I am very disappointed with the hypers and its certainly wierd for it to die in this way with no bang!

Could someone tell me when I send the old one back, do I send all the connectors or just the ones that are attached to it, or should i just send the bare PSU..

Since many have gone wrong does anyone know what there RMA service is like?

Their RMA service is actually very quick.

Also, the Tagan you linked to is very nice.

i have posted 2 reviews on the site about these being potentially unreliable, neither of which were put on the reviews, only quite good reviews must be 'acceptable'

while i waited for a replacement i bought a corsair 620w, no regrets

You've noticed that too? I never pick anything now based on the amount of stars it has on OCUK, it's back to the old method of finding independent objective reviews on other sites.
