q-tec psu's?

[snowdog]

I have started this thread becourse I want to know what people had trouble with q-tec psu's, i had been running on a q-tec 650 w for over half a year(had, not have, atm im on akasa powerplus 550w) and no probs with psu exploding or any strange sounds just lines werent really stable but aside that i thought i was a good psu for general desktop use (not for gaming tho) for gamign tho it caused instability due to big drop in +12 line, however I cant believe that ppl say it explodes or damaged other stuff, so pls share your story's.

(btw if you wounder what pc i have that stressed *** q-tec and the psu I have now: Asus p4c800 deluxe mobo
intel p4 3.4 ghz prescott socket 478, 800 mhz fsb, just overclocked by one fsb(summer, cant afford watercooling and too lazy actually to change coolign at all, cpu becomes too hot if overclocking in summer)
2gb (4x512) dual channel ram 3-3-3-8 ddr400
6600GT 128 mb
2 ide 133 hdd's
1 sata hdd
dvdrw and dvd player
5 80 mm fans ( 2 led fans, 3 normall ones)
1 cold cathode stick

So, if anyone has anything to say about q-tec psu's, shoot...

Well some ppl say they explode some say they work fine, for me it worked fine exept that it just didnt provide enough power for my pc making some games crash after some time, i know its my psu cos I did the prime 95 test with the q-tec and my akasa and its stable for 21 h with the akasa and unstable after 23 minutes with the q-tec, but i think q-tec is good enough for stuff like browsing, watchign a dvd, just anything but video editing and 3d stuff...

Edit: and for pc's with mainstream gfx cards offcourse, or p3's or equivilent amd's, atm the q-tec is gone frm my pc and being used in a pentium 3 800 mhz, where it has rock solid lines (undertstandable tho, as that p3 used to have a 165W generic psu, better 650w wich is actually 320ish than 165 wich is actually 100 or somit, the 165 had just 2 amperes on *** 2 volt lines, lol, was one of first psu's for atx and was designed for micro atx)
