I've got one, it's a 320W version and it's about 4 years old. Works great, but according to hmonitor.exe, the 12V line is 11.9-11.8 and the 5V line is 4.84.

I'm thinking I "might" need a new supply. I would say I've had great luck with this supply...tons of great overclocking and stuff.

Anyway...is TTGI regaurded as a good brand?

I haven't run across any REAL reviews (other than...it ran well in my P4 system type reviews, no actual load testing)

I don't know much about TTGI as a brand.

However, 11.9 or 11.8 volts on the 12V line is excellent. That is *well* within the margin for error allowed by the ATX standard.

Have you verified those voltage ratings with a voltmeter? Do they fluctuate a lot under load? If you underclock and remove un-necesarily peripherals, do those numbers go up? The +12V line is ok, the +5V is a bit low, but unless you verify with a voltmeter, that could just be the mobo's sensor chip readings are off by a bit.

As far as TTGI goes, I bought one, haven't used it much yet, but I've heard that they are solidly built, and the one that I recieved is very heavy, and looks well made. Minor mounting issues prevent me from using it in my current new build though. directron.com has some really good deals on TTGI/SuperFlower supplies, sometimes they put them on sale, I purchased a "520W" for $33 on sale.

TTGI is a solid PSU. Had a couple of them before, including a 420w and a 500+w models. No problems.
