Different Enermax Power Supply revisions?

[tc17]

Not sure if this is the appropriate group to post this in or not.

But I recently received a "refurbished" Enermax (EG365P-VE FMA) power supply from Newegg. However the one I received only shows 17A on the +12v line. The one shown on Neweggs website and on the Enermax site show the +12v line as having 26A.

Do I have some older version of the Enermax power supply or something? I feel ripped off by Newegg, as I specifically ordered this supply due to it stating 26A on the +12v line.

They even shipped it in a "Allied Power Supply" box.

Not sure if its worth sending back or not. Guess I would have to see how much it would cost.

It's obvious that that 26A is a typo. Just multiply it out - 12*26=312W. Now what's the total W rating for the whole PSU? 350W. Duh...
. Perhaps if none of the other rails are used or used only the minimum (usually 2A per rail) then 20+A might be possible, but that's not a normal load for this type of PSU. Perhaps Enermax just finally got real in their labeling.
. The only way to find out for sure is to call Enermax. And remember as suggested above, if you don't want to run the risk of ruining the rest of the PSU, there must be at least a 1 or 2A load on each of the + rails (3.3, 5, 12).
. OTOH, if the other rails aren't ever going to be used (i.e. some whacky car audio application), then knock yourself out - there's always the 'smoke test' . These PSUs are supposed to be overload protected - no time like the present to find out...
.bh.

I sent an email to Enermax. They actually replied within minutes after sending it and wanted me to email them a picture of the label. I did, and he said it was the older model. The newer models do have 26A on the +12v line.

Newegg has yet to reply to me. Not sure if I'll keep it or not. Just a little bit ago I had trouble booting.

Think I'm just going to return this power supply to Newegg. I've received no reply from Newegg, and it won't even run my dvd cdrom drive (yet it powers my cd burner ok). If I plug my old generic 300w in, everything runs fine.

return it.

I don't like enermax ps because they overrate their ps
