So I have an Antec SP-450 450W power supply for a desktop PC.
From day one the power would work fine but it heats up a lot and none of the two fans turn on at any time. Antec said they should turn on only when it got hot but this sucker got too hot for me to hold onto when removing it from the PC case.
I tried getting in contact with Antec many times but their Customer Service is just horrible..... It came down to the warranty expiring so I'm stick with using a lower 300W unit for now.
Thing is I just picked up a new video card for my PC and it calls for at least 350W of power so I would like to get this other 450W unit working once again.
I don't know much about these power units and was just wondering what steps I should take to see if I could fix this supply.
Thanks,
Dave
