    Earthwatts Review

    Is this really an okey power supply? It seems like it contains some crap caps?

    Only time will tell.

    For about 10 cents more they have used Jap caps and then it wouldn't even be a question.

        i have a earthwatts EA650 powering my big rig, it has SAMXON primaries which is known high quality but yeah the grab bag of capacitors they are using on the secondaries make me worry a bit.

            I've got one of these that I'm about to open to take a peek if anyone is interested in anything specific (I can take pics). It runs great for now but if there are known bad caps in it I will replace them for the long haul (it's destined for a home theater PC that will be on 24/7).

              I have an ea650 sitting on the shelf too. Its a decent psu with 3 12v rails, two of them 22a and one 27a. I had another but i sold it to someone for $20 lol. But i nitoiced that it used either teapos or ost. I dont remember. But after all the shit antec did a few years ago with all their smart and truepowers with fuhjyyu capacitors i can believe theu dont spnd a couple more cents and uses rubycons or something!

                Yeah i got mine on ebay, i was using a OCZ STEALTHXSTREAM in the pc which was 600watts worked good and had a teapo primary i think, however i was always scared it was gonna die after reading numerious bad feedback on newegg about units just failing and taking out the computer, however the antec EA650 is the #4 best rated power supply behind the corsair TX850 i think on newegg.

                  I like how I just hit submit mid sentence. I meant to say we will see how long the caps last.

                      Doesn't Delta have a pretty good reputation of reliability, even with lower-grade capacitors?
