Re: DPS-1200FB PSU "excessively silent"

As this PSU had evident thermal regulation problems, the seller fully refund me. Wanted to share it.
Waste of time, but not of money.

Thanks for your help Wink

I would pay extra $ 100-150 more and buy a new ATX power supply unit Corsair for 1200 watts or 2 Corsairs for 750 watts.
I would buy a server block only if I need a lot of 6-pin or 8-pin connectors and ATX blocks do not have enough of them.
You should not save money when buying power supplies, the losses can be much greater.

$100-150 extra for Corsair ? Huh it's more like $300
Indeed I need 12x 6/8 pin connectors

Stop buying chinese craps!

Buy EVGA, Seasonic, Corsair.

Troll ?
This 1200FB is known to be the best mining one. Unfortunately everybody need it, so it becomes hard to get a rock stable or brand new one. Not ready to spend $350 in 70% exploited PSU
Is there any PSU not chinese in the world ? Roll Eyes

I dont have any merits to give. But when I get to my main account I will do so. Thanks for follow up.

I have in my collection 2 chinese psu they are working fine many years now. But it doesnt mean all chinese psu are good(it is wiritten 1600w but noway after i reach 1000w it gets hot so im kepping them at 800-900w. you must test before buy or buy 1 and test. then order 2nd. Im using them for cheap cards polaris.
After i started using server psus im not looking anymore at high price psu. im buying normal 750w and + server psu doing my own cables even doing add2psu by myself.

It all depends on the offers on the market. Now you can drink good blocks with a 5-10 year warranty in any store.
It won't be a mistake to overpay the extra $ 100 for a good PSU.
When new branded power supplies are very expensive, then it is already worth looking at what is sold in China.
