That is a coincidence I was just thinking about this old pile of rubbish last night. Best thing about this psu was the storage box and inner tray that it came in. Still use it now.lol

When my Hiper blew up, quite literally, (bloody great bang, flames, black acrid smoke and a change of undies) it took a very good two week old DFI motherboard with it. Hiper were not interested at all. I ended up taking it outside and beating the **** out of it with a 14LB sledgehammer which my elderly neighbour must have thought that I had finally lost the plot altogether by the worried look on her face.

/\/\/\/\ a fitting end to an 'infamous' PSU.
