I recently RMA'd my faulty Antec TruePower 650w to ******** (no, not this site :)).

They have replaced it with an Antec Earthwatts 750w.

I'm not sure if this is an upgrade or downgrade?

Please advise oh wise ones.
 
Yeah stick with the Antec its a great psu

Both power supplies we're talking about are antec.

the conclusion is interesting!

the new truepower psu is made by seasonic, and is a better unit, even with less watts.

Hmm, I don't like the fact that I've been given a model that isn't up to scratch with the one I RMA'd.

They have given me a replacement which is equal in value but not in performance.

What do people think I should do?
 
If it works then I wouldn't be that bothered.

If it bothers YOU that much call the supplier and explain you are not happy.

It baffles me that people run to the interwebs for this sort of advice?
 
In all fairness to the OP he was more asking if the PSU he'd received back was the identical, upgraded or downgraded from what he'd RMA'd.

It’s easier to post questions then to google yourself sometimes.... we've all done it. Now he has his information from the knowledgeable members on here, he can trot off and either accept the replacement or look to get it exchanged....

Reasons mentioned above. Plus a discussion thread is more entertaining than google :).


Did it just die or did something prompt it? I've used truepowers a few times now without issue.

Lol it was 'prompted'.



Well to be honest I don't think I am that bothered with an exchange but will e-mail them to see the response.
