Ive never rma'd a psu so not asure what does/doesnt count as a failure. i have a TG530-U15 (easycon) and in the last month or so my system is getting more and more unstable. After stress testing individual components no errors appear, just random resets or blackouts and even resets durring post sequence on occassion.
In split mode the 12v rail sits at around 12.10 at idle but when cpu is working can drop to 11.80. add gfx operations like a game it can drop to 11.70. In combines mode it can drop as low as 11.40 and its combines mode when the system is most unstable.
With the Radeon 1950pro in, the system is mostly stable(in split mode), but my new 3870 seems to push it over the edge and I get constant irq errors or random resets/blackouts. (in both split/combined).
Now I could think it my fault for getting a low ratted psu but my cousins system which matches my own (listed in sig, same psu) has stable 12v, 11.90 under heavy load with a 2900xt ! so im pretty sure it has to be my psu thats the issue and im so close to thinking it was the gfx card that was the issue and was going to try and rma that.
Any second oppinions are most welcome before I try and contact tagan rma.
