Chieftronic by Chieftec Announces Powerup Series PSUs

[X71200]

You didn't mention any specific CWT or seasonic units above and Antec earthwatt units are sold on Amazon, microcenter, and newegg among other web sites. In fact all I see is some kid who got caught over his head and is now back tracking through an immature hissy fit so he won't feel embarrassed.

Go on with mentioning more IRRELEVANT PSUs people don't get suggested, from 5+ years ago. I don't have to put any input, you can figure it all by yourself if you do your research.

Oh and, I'm closing to my 30. Good attempt at an age insult, maybe actually go learn a thing about PSUs.

Pretty much any brand has garbage units all around. Shall I include early batches of G3 or will you desperately defend EVGA? Or S12 from SeaSonic or something else?

I think you massively misunderstand what constitutes a "garbage unit."

I think you aren't following feedback closely. Early (not current) batches of G3 had underperforming protections.

No, I completely knew what point you were trying to make. My point is you are using it wrong.

And true "garbage units" literally explode at their rated specs. That"s the grade we are talking.

Potato, apple. It's not the same at all.

FUD and a whole lot of drivel.

You can look up reviews, even the ones in TPUs database, most of things they make are decent.

No it's not.

No they aren't.

Simple as that. By far, the majority of their products over the course of the companies existence have been junk. Yes, they have a few good products, mostly in the distant past, but to say "most of things they make are decent" just basically eliminates any credibility your statements might otherwise have had.

chieftec uses mostly sirtec (aka highpower and whatever other name they use now) and CWT as their OEM. I mostly remember Sirtec making mediocre PSU for OCZ. CWT is huge, I believe they are the largest after market PSU OEM out there so they run the gamut from budget to excellent. My guess is those are CWT units but as earthdog stated you need a review before you can say anything about them with certainty.

FYI, at one time chieftec used Delta although I highly doubt those are delta units. (just noticed Frick mentioned this as well )



if I had to make a bet based on their warranty, specs, and past OEM...it's the CWT GPS platform (think Deepcool ST, Montech Gamma II, and Thermaltake Smart DPS G). Now that doesn't mean the parts are similar to any of those units.

So close it ends up being the CWT GPX platform. Aris says it's capable but nothing special. I think I should get a half medal for my prediction.

Dirtyferret, you get a full medal for having the best signature ever seen on any forum in terms of creative originality. So there is that.
