[QUOTE="MrTube, post: 811877, member: 89099"] reason i decided not to buy an orignal supply is it seems like they burn out often. id rather not spend $80+ on one thats just going to fail. i did find another problem i beleive is related to the sleep problem. if i turn the computer off by shutting down and just letting it sit for awhile it trips the overload in the power supply. i assume from drawing too much current from the 5v standby line. barely a problem for me since my machines run nonstop anyway. tho if i want to shutdown i just reach around the back and flip the rocker on the supply. the supplys 5v standby line is rated 2A which the highest i saw was 3A on newer supplies and i doubt is going to fix either problem. either way, im happy. i ended up with a working gigabit dual 450 for 100% free. :) P.S. thanks dtravis7. it was your posts that helped me out with the mod.
