[GalvanizedYankee]

The Enhance ENS-0560G IS the Silverstone Strider 600watter, can't remember the part#atm.

It a good'en, while they last at around $100. No better or worse than Enermax. *shrugs*

😕

A good 500W PSU would be able to power your system without a hiccup. Take advantage of the warranty and get a replacement.

howard thats sage advice (and am going to follow it) but have been thinking that the 510 just was'nt quite enough for this system and this gives me a reason (excuse) to go to the 850 if i can work things out with pcp&c

*IF* PCP&C will permit you to use the 510 in an up-grade to an 810 and that works for you, that would be the way to go. The 810 is a much more current design and has a very efficient operation, even at lower outputs.

I'm stumped on the *WHY* of this failure. Had the fan bound up or slowed down from the bearings going bad? Are you using high negative case pressure that doesn't let the PSU breath?

Your 510 as Enhance and many others, use TEAPO caps. This brand ain't the best on mainboards but in a properly cooled PSU, they give long service. I'm confused.
Using a flashlight give the caps a real good looking over. Use a magnifing glass.

Home page of caps http://www.teapo.com.tw/ it will give you an idea of the color & markings.

We need better pics. Or-A-Gun is only a 18 hour drive for me, I'll meet you half way 😛
How bout Red Bluff, Ca. 😉

Absolutely not. The PSU delivers way more than enough for your rig.

thanks guys for the resurrection of this thread , and the interest in the outcome

first off letme say this about pcp&c ,first rate company ,with a great c/s atittude, called them on the following monday , i asked for an rma , they said no problem, called the next day and asked if i could upgrade to the 850, they said no problem, i asked for cross shipping , and they said no problem

recieved the 850 this week and installed it (with guess what)............................................................. no problem

the 510 was a good psu but in my box but the fans would change rpm"s up and down with a full load (2xp95 rthdribl) but not with the 850 its been 8-9 hours with this going

thanks again guys for all the help

sincerlt tom
