Corsair like other OEMs make different classes of gear. The more expensive |
| 35 |
category usually have better capacitors and other innards. Cabling and noise |
| 36 |
from the mains can also make a difference in the test results, with the |
| 37 |
cheaper PSUs performing less well in filtering all distortions out. I think |
| 38 |
RMA'ing with a call to the supplier may be more effective in stopping the PC |
| 39 |
crashing. |
