I'm using the FSP530-60GNA, on the following system:
(all running stock)
CPU: Intel P4 Northwood 3000MHz w/stock heatsink
Motherboard: ASUS P4C800D-E
Memory: 1024 MB of Mushkin PC3200
Video Card: ATI X800 XL ATI Radeon 256MB
Hard Drive: Western Digital 400.0 GB @ 7200 RPMS
Additional Hard Drives: Western Digital 7200/200GB
Monitor: Dell 2005FPW
DVD R/W: LG 16x
Storage Interface: IDE,SATA
Sound Card: Onboard
Dlink DWG-520+ WNIC
two 80mm case fans
one coolermaster chipset heatsink with 60mm fan and blue LED.
Here's where it may or may not get intersting. Every once in a blue moon, I'll go to turn it on and enough juice will come in to push the fans 90 degrees and flicker the light. I hit the kill switch on the PSU and pull the plug, wait for the Mobo to drain, then replace the cord, hit the killswitch back to on and hit the button again.
Nothing, not even a wink.
Repeat, this time, holding down the power switch while waiting for the power to drain. Same result.
I'll go in and reseat the 4-pin molex on the video since the previous model(9800 Pro) occasionally complained that there was not a plug connected to it. Sometimes this would work. Sometimes not.
I go in and re-wire everything so that video, DVD, and the HD's are on their own rails and not sharing anything with something like a case fan. This will work for a while, but several months later it'll crop up again. By looking at the picture, either they or I have the PSU upside down(*EDIT*, checked, it will screw in only one way). One other thing I've noticed is that the PSU fans have dropped RPM's from about 4k to 1.9K. I've had the PSU for about three years. Could it really be time for a new one already?
