We're just telling you for your own good. If it decides to pack up and take everything else with it, you're screwed. That's a lot of nice hardware there, don't taint it with a Q-Tec.

It provides a QUIET, STABLE power supply. Yours does neither.

My money to waste, nothing to do with you.

The PSU came with the case, not an issue really as it is yet to let me down with anything.

If someone would care to point out what more a PSU does than provide a stable power supply then please do.

Q-Tec?! Haha. Good luck with that one mate.

He's right Ali, Q-Tec are absolute *****. [URL]http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=17274311[/URL]

Alastair... That Q-Tec power supply is the cheapest component out of that little lot... if you love your motherboard I would suggest you change it for one that is less likly to send an electrical spike through your system.

I had a Q-tec PSU rated at 500W but I could hear the system fans changing speed whenever the processor got to work... very unstable voltages.My Antec 380W is amazing - NO MORE crashes...

Yes, you said it.
