Enlight PSU's ... are they crap?

[dejacky]

It's just been my experience that enlight psu's NEVER supply stable voltages....@ least compared to the Antec True Power series (that I like ). Just wondering if I'm the only one...

I've had good luck with a 360W enlight, and a 420W thermaltake (rebadged enlight). I've never worried too much about what the line voltages are, as long as the system is 100% stable, which both systems are.

Unless you want your CPU to reach a new state of enligtenment (bad) then I would stay away from these PSU's.

Enlight's will work. They are not for OCing, though. Unstable voltages will hold you back a lot.

exactly they have... I remember upgrading from an Enlight PSU to an Antec and all my stability problems went away. I also gained 20-30fps in games after replacing the Enlight. Back in the day, my "good ol" Enlight 250watt psu also decided it was time to fry my motherboard completely...it did. Then, after another Enlight PSU, it felt time to fry an earlier version of an AthlonXP cpu....all the while exhibiting the same stability-inconsistencies.
