Re: Antec NeoHE430 worth buying/recapping?
i probably went lucky with this.
i'm the kinda guy that leaves all the windows open and just puts the computer in standby mode instead of shutting it down completely or even using a switched power strip..
(hibernation isn't really an option, as it takes forever with 6GB RAM)
so basically the 5VSB circuit has been working for months in 24/7 mode feeding my RAM while in standby.
in the current state of that PSU, it probably would have fried something (5VSB shooting through the roof) if i tried to power it up again after turning it off (to take it apart).
luckily, i didn't power it up again. otherwise both my Abit IP35P motherboard and my 6GB of DDR2 would be fried by now i guess..
and damn.. i forgot about the pics.. we had tons of rain going on here.. basement underwater and stuff..
