Was just about to post this. Ordered one for now, may order another in the morning.

[ShylocK]

thanks ordered, looks like a good deal. All of my boxes already have upgraded supplies. this one is cheap enough to keep around though.

I will at least have it handy next time i snag a hp or dell pre-made. always need to upgrade supplies for those boxes if you switch video cards.

Thx OP. ordered.

They always die at some point!

thanks, bought one.... ocz ram dies alot. Hope their power supplies are not like that...

[eyap]

Thanks. Just started shopping for one, and bought one.
My last Enermax died after 8 years in service, hope this one will be as reliable.

[ClubberLang]

Is this quiet?

Don't forget your 1% rebate at fatwallet.com !

I love the Fatal1ty endorsement. Like as though someone with a top of the line gaming rig would bother with a 400W PSU.

OCZ makes good stuff so the deal is fairly good all told though. Be warned they use a rebate house, so your MIR timeframe is measured in months.

[Arcum]

400W is a bit low. Why are you guys buying this? You don't have real videocards?

[cheap_guy]

Is this a really old PSU? I remember first noticing Fatal1ty product 3-4 years ago and it would make sense if this PSU design dates from around then since its only 400W.

[coooldude]

My Enermax which was 4yrs old recently died and I have been looking for one for this it.

Would this PSU be enough for my PC which is a Gigabyte Socket 462 MB with XP-2500 AMD CPU, 2 dvd drives, 2 HDDs and a AIW9800Pro?

yes, way enough

I run AMD64 3000, 1gb ram, 1 DVD drive, 2 HDs, 9800 pro, sb audigy 2 soundcard, tv tuner, 4 fans and I only use a seasonic S12 330W psu

Perhaps you should do the research before buying your 1000W power supply...

I've got a E8400 @3.6Ghz + 4870 + 2HDD running on a 2 year old 350W PS. No issue whatsoever.

I've got a E8400 @3.6Ghz + 4870 + 2HDD running on a 2 year old 350W PS. No issue whatsoever.

So, there is nothing frightening about the numbers. Of course, 500 watts is quite a lot. It is about one quarter of an electric iron, but PSUs that can deliver it are widely available for reasonable money, especially if you compare it with the cost of the other components of such a power-hungry configuration. If you want to have a 50% reserve of wattage, a 750W power supply will be sufficient for a system with a Core i7-920 and a GeForce GTX 295.

The other configurations are much more economical. If the graphics card is replaced with a single-chip one, a 500-550W power supply can be used (and it will have a reserve of wattage, too). And an inexpensive 400W PSU will do for midrange gaming PCs.

Note also that this is the power consumption under very heavy tests. No real game can load the computer as heavily as FurMark. It means that a 750W PSU will offer an even larger reserve of power for the most advanced of the tested configurations.

Talking about the new measurement tool, it covers all of our test lab’s purposes and allows to measure the overall consumption of a computer as well as that of any of its components at any moment, starting from your pressing the Power button or even before that. It can automatically measure the minimum and maximum of currents, find an average power consumption, calculate maximums of power consumption (considering that you can’t just sum up the maximums on the different PSU rails because these maximums may have occurred at different moments), show the distribution of load among the different PSU rails and draw graphs that show how load changes over time.

Such tools will soon be used in most of our reviews, configured specifically for the particular purposes. For example, in this review I totaled the consumption of the mainboard and drives, but in graphics card reviews the current the card consumes from the mainboard’s PCI Express slot can be measured separately.

And to make our PSU tests more illustrative, we will show the power consumption levels of different PC configurations in cross-load diagrams. We once did so, but were limited then by the lack of a handy measurement tool.

Awesome read!

Considering the PSU is the biggest power hog in your rig
just imagine how much money is wasted every hour
by all the gomers with this attitude-
but..but...I NEED mega watts to show I'm a real man :lol:

[Arcticsilverfox]

What you need is good 12v rails. Even though it's 400W, 12v1 and 12v2 are 18 apiece, which is soild for single card gaming rigs. I wouldn't recommend SLI/Crossfire, but for 1 card systems it's more than enough.

Okay, after download the pdf rebate file I follow the instruction: Go to this website http://ocztechnology2.4myrebate.com and enter this Promotion Code: OCZ2-5582. This will bring you to the next screen where you register--enter your information etc..

How do you change the country from US to Canada? Are there any other rebate forms that I am not aware of?

Thanks.

[zickvon]

Yes, this is a good question. Seems they need another offer code or update the rebate website database.

And also, I couldn't find any warranty info.

[JoeyB]

deal has gone bye-bye...

[geoffr]

It says the item is deactivated,

What is a Deactivated Item?

When a product is out-of-stock, it may show as "Deactivated" on the item page. This could mean that the item is no longer available and we are searching for a new supplier. However, if an item has reached the end of its product life cycle and will no longer be available at all, the deactivation will be permanent.

Looks like this deal is bust.

[stallion_dh]

MIR stake is too high (too many conditions) no wonder many have not got their rebate from ocz. Handling and fee are too high (15.825% of the product price?) Sure there may be tax involve and what not.

Cancel order.
