| May 19, 2017 at 20:30 | comment | added | jcoppens | As you can see, the manufacturer of the 'component' might well be the same (compare the photo I included with the one from google). Only it's an improved model: No more taping. The plastic core form has the hook to hang the cable loop from! | |
| May 19, 2017 at 20:18 | comment | added | Eugene Sh. | @Trevor "Catch-22" - thanks for a new term :) | |
| May 19, 2017 at 20:17 | comment | added | Trevor_G | @EugeneSh. ya but isn't that a catch-22. One way or another it's not a "Decent PSU manufacturer".. LOL | |
| May 19, 2017 at 20:12 | comment | added | Eugene Sh. | @Trevor I don't think so. Decent PSU manufacturers have QA. It's the PSU manufacturer who is ripping the customer off.. | |
| May 19, 2017 at 20:09 | comment | added | Trevor_G | That middle one with the cement core is pretty elaborate. Makes you wonder if the PSU manufacturer is getting ripped off by the transformer guy. | |
| May 19, 2017 at 19:54 | comment | added | Trevor_G | LOL WOW... juts googled... pretty common practice I see.. And most seem to be stamped PFCxxxx as the part number on top just to give the inspector the nod. | |
| May 19, 2017 at 19:48 | comment | added | Eugene Sh. | Dunno, not mine, fortunately :) But I heard they manage to reformat the sticks so they report a fake size when plugged in (not working, of course) | |
| May 19, 2017 at 19:47 | comment | added | winny | @EugeneSh. Neat! Did it work? | |

| May 19, 2017 at 19:44 | comment | added | winny | @EugeneSh. Yes, and one of the "better" I've seen. What's the USB gizmo? | |
| May 19, 2017 at 19:43 | comment | added | Eugene Sh. | hey, just google "fake pfc transformer". Looks similar. | |
| May 19, 2017 at 19:42 | comment | added | Eugene Sh. | So it is a weight, as commented :) | |
| May 19, 2017 at 19:41 | comment | added | winny | @EugeneSh. With zero turns, no. | |
