Whats been going on with the Sunbeam Nuuo Power Supplies. It seems like everyone they send out is Dead or it kills something in your computer.

Should i still buy it and try to get lucky or buy a different one?

I think you should go for it, I mean it was only 3 Bad Reviews vs 7 Good Reviews, and sometimes people post more than one complaint and make things up, I say go ahead and buy it.

Meh...i'm trying to RMA mine, bad fan bearing in exhaust fan. I think it's becasue i keep grabbing it and put preassure on the fan itself. Stand up unit, i think i'm just stupid. I would replace fan myself, but i dont; want to void my warranty.....

You have that problem too??

That's wierd. O ther than though, I love mine. It's awesome

I just took my exhaust fan out to fix that problem.

i love mine no problems so far nice and stable

 

[soloz2]

I put one in my bro's computer a couple weeks ago and haven't had a single problem with it... it's stable as a rock just like my seasonic. it is louder than my seasonic though.
I got it from zipzoomfly, they were a couple dollars cheaper

Did you replace it or did you leave a gaping hole?

Its true people indeed like to b**ch alot more when they purchase a faulty produce rather then having a perfectly good product and dont bother putting a review. Thats what i do most of the time

 

[HardwaterH4ck3r]

Mine was a fault in workmanship....the fan was broken. The blades were cracked and was throwing the balance off......does anyone think i can go without an exhaust fan on the PSu for a short amount of [email protected] least until i get a replacement fan from sunbeam.....

Yea. More than likely.

How much would you stake on that.....would you stake $2K worth of computer hardware on that decision?

BTW, i paid $12 for an evercool, 34.9 CFM fan. Said will be here in 2-3 days...will i be ok for that long?

Believe me dont worry that big intake will still blow everything hot out the fanhole in the back and in the venting holes... I would say you will be fine. after about 5 hours feel how hot the air is coming from behind you case via psu. if you have no sence of general tempature use a probe all temps below 50-60c fine im pretty sure

 

[HardwaterH4ck3r]

MMMMk.....I'm going for it. I have a new fan coming in.

 

[lightsource]

Yea, I'd take the chance. What size is the fan?

Becuase I personally believe $12 is too much for a fan with only 34CFM.

There goes the warrante.
