| Exploding PSU Warning: Corsair Lab Fun Stop me if you have heard this one before. A couple of our guys were doing some load testing one day on some PSUs and had some fun with some "inexpensive" low end units. The unit was rated at +3.3V@28A,+5V@34A,+12V@21A We tested it with the 12V at 18A, the 3.3V at 20A, and the 5V at 10A on our load testers. Check out the video clip, Why a high-quality PSU is an essential purchase. Video Link  : Welcome to Corsair :: Corsair Cinema

| Re: Exploding PSU Warning: Corsair Lab Fun  Thanks, Mike! I'm about to do my third build in the last year or so, all with CMPSU-520HX's; wouldn't think of anything else! Regards, -- Al

| Re: Exploding PSU Warning: Corsair Lab Fun Quite disappointing. I was expecting a big boom.  Really though, it was a great video. I'm glad that didn't happen with the PSUs that came with the first cases I bought years ago.

| Re: Exploding PSU Warning: Corsair Lab Fun Very intriguing.  Something like this happening in a home could very well lead to disaster.
