Is there a consensus on the best replacement PSU for the S2? BOTH of mine conked out last night after a power outage.
I was thinking something along the lines of a Corsair AX1200...
Just to throw another opinion into the mix...
I replaced my S2 PSU with a Corsair AX1200i, and it has been running perfectly 24x7 ever since (months now).
The Corsair AX1200i is a great PSU IMHO, I even use them for my Neptune...
but there is a catch! You need to have PCIe 2-to-1 splitters to use them with the Neptune because the AX1200i has Over-current Protection which kicks in and shuts the PSU down. I blame this on KnC, not the PSU, as the Neptune draws much more power across a single PCIe connector than the specification is designed for (that's why the safety features of the AX1200i kick in). Putting the PCIe 2-to-1 splitter cables on means that TWO PCIe ports on the PSU feed the SINGLE PCIe port on the Neptune module, so each PSU PCIe port is supplying power within the PCI specification (and doesn't trip the Over-current Protection).
