How to Replace a Power Supply with a good one

Once upon a time there lived a PC who killed video cards. He was a nice, quiet PC, middle aged and had always performed his duties well. At some point he changed though. He went through several video cards without regard to brand or price and eventually a lengthy investigation uncovered the defect in him responsible. It was his power supply. This guide shows you how to replace your power supply and what factors to look for when buying..

If you've been following the debate in the hardware press from such testical experts as HardOCP and Custom PC, you'll probably know by now it's impossible to write a review of a power supply and give it a triple A platinum award without one of these babies.

If you thought it was enough to strap your PSU into a 4GHz system with twin 8800GTX graphics cards and ten raptor drivers and run Orthos for a few weeks, you're wrong. You've got to run it through a Chroma Systems C8000 power supply tester costing $50,000 or your just not hip. The editor of Custom PC even concluded that manufacturers given a bad review by CPC were changing their brand names so readers of the magazine (god bless dorothy and burt from Dorest) couldn't recognise their crappy products.

Puts you off buying a power supply altogether really
