Touching 20pin kills power!!!

[bjc112]

Hey all,

Recently aquired the 430w from FS/FT that is full functional. However, whenever it is hooked up and running ( like now ) If I even TAP the 20pin PSU connection the slightest bit it cuts power!!!

Leads me to believe that it is the board, so I switched to a Sparkle 350w PSU and jiggle away, everything works fine.

What's the deal?

You bought it in the FS/FT forums??? send it back to that asshat and make him fix it....It is defective and he shouldn't be selling defective crap....Why should you have to deal with it....

The 380W Antec in my sister's computer does the same thing.

I will probably try and RMA it with Antec if it is a painless process.

Guy has pretty good heat, but got it for $55 which is a good deal for a Tru430.

Antec is pretty good about RMAing. Should be pretty painless.
