Please get a clue. To quote an earlier response of yours: -------------------------- >> Why are you so sure that it's truely putting out 180W?? Did you test >>it yourself? And if it can put out 180W, how do you know that it's >>"clean" at that power level? >> > >yes." -------------------------- That seems to indicate that you said that you had tested the power supply to output 180W. Cleanly, no less. Anyway, as I said earlier this really isn't that big of a deal. Noone really cares about power supplies. They are boring. Yes, Tyan may admit that there is a problem with a certain motherboard when a low power PS is used. So? Use a better PS. That's what this whole thread turned into. Myself and others indicating that you can resolve the problem of the mobo not working properly with a very low output PS by using a better (and still cheap) power supply. I thought that my long response a few emails ago was clear to the point of being redundant, but I guess not. So anyway, to summarize the thread: 1) Certain Tyan mobo's don't operate well (if at all) with weak PSs while certain other mobos with the same chipset do. 2) 1. can be resolved by using a good power supply. 3) Insulting people for calling you on false information, even when the information isn't of any particular importance, is not good netiquette.
