   Well Tom's Hardware did identify out of spec ripple noise on the voltage lines of an Antec PSU, however they retracted the statement... Maybe they should not have been so quick to retract it...[url]http://www6.tomshardware.com/howto/200507111/stres

   It's possible that the Tyan boards using dual opterons put an unusually higher stress on +12V, and the PSU can't maintain voltage at the rate current is being drawn. If there aren't many other boards that do this, it would be pretty unknown. Hopefully Antec will make a statement.

   Antec makes some of the best commercial PSUs but every commercial PSUs are poorly designed. What else they would cost way too much. A really good PSU would be of the "classic" type (Like in most amplifiers) but the transformer would cost about $250 for 450W. In mass production it would cost maybe $40 but:$5 worth of parts = $100 more at the store in most cases.
