Customer Review: Nicely Made but Failed in 2 Weeks
Summary: 2 Stars
This Power Supply was purchased as part of a project to upgrade a Dell 4500. Some minor computer case modification was required to accommodate the On/Off rocker switch, which the original Dell P/S didn't have, and to remove the spring loaded clip in the Dell computer case as this P/S will not clip in with the original clip. I also sanded off the paint from a 1" x 1" section of the P/S case where the Dell computer case has grounding fingers to the P/S. I did not downgrade this P/S for those mods, as I expected to have to do some minor mods to accomodate any new non-Dell P/S.
It was significantly quieter than the original, and I'm not sure the 2nd fan ever came on - it's thermally activated and this P/S was never pushed that hard.
The P/S failed after 2 weeks - no obvious toasted components or bad smells, but it's totally DIW. I was able to get the computer running by switching back to the original Dell 250 Watt P/S, so it's not the computer. I could have returned it, but since I had sanded the case in one area to remove the paint for grounding, I felt the warranty would likely not be honored. So I decided to take the P/S apart to try and see what might have happened - that of course completely voided the warranty, but satisfied my curiosity.
Once inside, the unit appeared very well built, excellent looking solder joints, everything nicely heat-shrink insulated, and generally high workmanship. As there were no open joints or solder traces, broken wires or toasted components, I concluded the failure was some kind of component infant mortality, but it's not possible (nor cost-effective) to try and track it down, so I am replacing with another P/S.
I concluded this failure was a typical infant mortality issue on a purchased internal component, and not indicative of the build quality of the Power Supply, which appeared excellent.
I did have to use a 4-pin Molex extender to reach the power input on the graphics card, as the Molex power cables to the CD, DVD and HDD's did not have sufficient reach to get over to the graphics card. If your graphics card has a separate 4-pin Molex power input, you will probably need an extender.
