Are Thermaltake power supplies a joke

[BarryB]

@Simon11: Now that's what you call a sensible decision as I have the same PSU Well my mate has it actually seeing as his Thermaltake is DOA and my mobo is fried so I'm using an older mobo with my mates old Enermax 450w PSU!

@Luciel/DAB: It's an AMD X2 6400+ 3.2GHz Black Edition (Multiplier Unlocked), same as the one in the link you supplied DAB!

Luckily the mobo had the 0702 BIOS that supports this CPU already flashed in. System is up and running with my PSU, so it was the Thermaltake PSU that was DOA! It's been sent back for a replacement and my mobo should be back next week too as that was tested faulty, so we now have to wait for our RMA's to come back

*UPDATE*

LOL, my mate decided on a Hiper HPU-4M880 880w to replace his RMA'd Thermaltake PSU so sent an e-mail to ask for that, then he saw the Antec TruePower Quattro 1000W PSU so e-mailed for them to change it to that, then read the Antecs were failing and were not powering GTX's and Antec even admitted they had a problem, so now he's FINALLY settled on the Enermax Galaxy 850W EGX850EWL Modular PSU but he's going to phone them up and ask them to change it. What's even funnier is he WAS going to get the Enermax 850w originally but thought it looked too big for his Kandalf case as the roof fan was in the way, so now the roof fan is going and the Enermax is coming

well the kandalf is designed for liquid cooling so that might be an option too?
