DFI boards And Seasonic S12's - Still issues?

gline

I was just wondering, is there still issues with seasonic s12's and dfi mobos??

Does it happen on all models of dfi boards?? Also i read in the dfi forums that some users dont experience these problems

anyone got any info on this issue?? do they know the cause

Reason is, i was gonna use an s12 600watt on my sli-dr expert and want to know what my chances are of it working.

any info on this issue is appriciated

but it is only for people using the 5v mem jumper on old boards

You'd be better off buying an OCZ for the DFI boards - they're the only ones I remember getting constantly recommended. I doubt much has changed since then.
Plus I have one for sale

Hehe,just noticed that now.
Not interested in a swap I'm afraid (unless it's with €100 cash ) as I need money right now.

I'd prefer the cash to be honest. Let me leave it for a short while

On DFI street, there was alot of people reporting problems with this PSU and DFI boards not just the eXpert, somethinf to do with a touchy trip circuit. Someone did quote that theres a 50/50% chance with Seasoncis and this prob on DFI boards. I think rev A2 was the the more likly rev to have the prob.

Well, The Seasonic S12 is on the DFI-Street recommended PSU thread.

But the OCZ Powerstream is thier favourite..

Enermax Liberty FTW:D
