    On a totally unrelated note. Yay! Finally got my car working after nearly a year long battle with a mystery problem. Turns out the previous owner had replaced the mass airflow sensor with an aftermarket part and it was just not up to spec with the original. No one noticed this despite several mechanics and me troubleshooting it.

    Oh well, she pulls like a champ now! Despite all the trouble I couldn't be happier at the moment.

    Ewww, why are manufacturers resorting to this for hold up time.

    First cap in cables and now false hold up times that can cause harm to your PC stuff

    Holdup time is when the PSU turns off how long it can deliver power while off. The minimum spec is 16ms worth of power. It's more or less for stuff like very tiny power losses for whatever reason.
    The Power OK signal is essentially when the PSU is up and ready to run at the proper voltage which means the motherboard takes the assumption that it's fine to operate. So when turned off voltage itself of course drops, however if the Power OK Signal is still on, the motherboard assumes that it's still in the correct voltage and fine to use, the issue is the Power OK signal was still on AFTER it dropped out of spec, not before. This makes it seem like it has a longer hold up than it does which can prove harmful to your equipment. Sirfa for example also does this.

    Well... now I'm definitely not using Super Flower OEMs...

    Aren't they the new ones providing for Corsair, at least for some of their lines?

    Also, hope SeaSonic is still good. ^_^

    Nah, probably EVGA you're thinking about.
    Corsair's CX(M), HXi, RMx, RMi are CWT. CSM are Great Wall (I think), AX are SeaSonic, AXi are Flextronic.
    EVGA's B2, G2, P2, T2 are Super Flower. GS, PS are SeaSonic. B1, G1, GQ are FSP. Non number marked assume HEC.
    The most renowned ones from EVGA are the '2's which are as mentioned Super Flower.

    Also I think SeaSonic cares too much about their reputation to do things like that. They're still avoiding caps in cables as an example.
    Delta just says, why bother when we have god engineers.

    If not, I think Super Flower did some time ago, possibly...

    This Flextronics?

    https://www.flextronics.com/

    I live VERY close to one of their big headquarters (right here in good ol' Buffalo Grove, IL) and actually deliver them Jimmy John's sandwiches very often. :P

    My town is pretty up there with some of these companies haha

    Nah, Corsair had more SeaSonic units back in the day, probably thinking of them. And yes that Flextronics.

    I guess I won't ever lose time making cables pretty anymore.

    I approve, Gzâzh

    As for cable management, I will never not do it. But then again, I have both obsessive and compulsive behaviours..

    As he said at the end... don't let this be an excuse for bad cable management. We don't want ugly computers!
