Can you believe this unit isn't made by CWT? It looks extremely identical to CWT's DSA platform to me. Anyway, it's real manufacture is UT (never heard about it before). It could be a rip-off of CWT's DSA.

Pccooler Q5 low carbon edition. :lol: Review could be found here (in Chinese): http://www.itocp.com/htmls/83/n-1683.html

Pccooler is one of the biggest CPU and GPU cooler maker in China. Though I don't like a bit of this brand.

You can tell it's not a CWT. It doesn't have the "CWT" markings on the transformers
No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the coils backwards! :D

Yeah. I wonder why UT made it look so much like a CWT DSA. Similar component layout and it even has green tapes on its transformers as CWT units do. If you don't open the housing of the PSU and just look into the PSU from its vent or fan grid, you probably will think CWT is the OEM. That's cheating!
